Place the sequence of events in order to show what occurs after contraction of the diaphragm.

Oxygen passes into the bloodstream through the capillaries.
Oxygen is pulled into the upper respiratory tract.
Oxygen moves into the lower respiratory tract.
Carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream into the alveoli through the capillaries.
Carbon dioxide moves from the lower respiratory tract into the upper respiratory tract, and exits the body.
Oxygen enters the bronchial tubes.
Oxygen enters the alveoli.
The diaphragm relaxes.
