What muscles are involved in expiration?

What is the primary driver of respiration? (Why would we increase/decrease RR?)
✓ -:- The CSF in the brain has chemoreceptors sensitive to CO2. When

the diaphragm. They cause an increase in activity of the diaphragm. This
increases the RR which causes us to increase tidal volume. This means
more CO2 is exhaled. And brings our pH back to normal.
We also have the less sensitive hypoxic drive
