The primary muscle targets of pull-ups are the latissimus dorsi (lats), biceps, and upper back muscles.
The primary function of the latissimus dorsi muscle is to pull the upper arms down and towards the body. To strengthen this muscle, exercises like pull-ups, lat pulldowns, rows, and deadlifts are effective.
The traditional pull up is a so-called `compound` exercise, which means it targets most of the muscle groups of the upper body (so basically it trains your entire upper body fairly equally). In my experience though, the muscles which grew tired the most after every pull up workout and in long-term grew the most were the obliques and shoulder muscles.

Chin-ups, just as most exercises use a primary & secondary muscle group. The primary muscle group would be the back (or latissimus dorsi). This is what helps to give that "V" - shape in the torso area. (along with slimming down the torso area, of course) The secondary muscle group would be the biceps. Depending on your grip position, you can focus either more on your "lats", or arms.
Your diaphragm IS muscle. When we inhale, it is pushed down. When we exhale, it is pulled up.
