The statement of this question leaves it open to many interpretations with varying answers. For the sake of completion, all these answers will be provided.
- No, males and females breath the same air, and therefore inhale the same amount of oxygen per unit volume.
- Yes, the average female is smaller than the average male, and therefore inhales less oxygen per breath.
- Yes, while exercising males have a higher blood-oxygen uptake rate than females. However, this is a relatively small portion of the sex difference. Other factors such as the dimensions of the oxygen transport system and musculature are of greater importance.
- No, while females inhale less oxygen per breathe and absorb less oxygen while exercising, female life expectancy is 5% to 20% longer than male life expectancy, thereby allowing them a greater total amount of oxygen breathed/absorbed.

∙ 15y agoyes. women breath 18 times/min and man 16/min

∙ 9y agoWomen and children have a somewhat faster breathing rate. Men have a slower rate because their lungs are larger and can hold more air.

What causes the air pressure in your lungs to decrease and make you inhale?
When you inhale, oxygen fills your lungs. Next the oxygen diffuses out of your lungs into your bloodstream. The diffusion of oxygen from the lungs causes less pressure in your lungs signaling your brain that you need to inhale.
Is air pressure more or less than outside the body when you inhale?
less
What gas shows the greatest difference in percent between inhaled and exhaled air?
The air we inhale contains about 21% oxygen. The air we exhale contains slightly less than that.
When you inhale you take in?
When some people think of the air we breathe, the first thing that comes to mind is oxygen. While oxygen is the essential component of all breathing gases, the air around us is not pure oxygen. When you inhale, or breathe in, the air is roughly 78% (by volume) nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.96% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide, helium, water, and other gases. When you exhale, or breathe out, the air coming out of your lungs is 4% to 5% carbon dioxide and 4% to 5% less oxygen than was inhaled (So, about 16% oxygen). You also breath out about 5% water vapor and other mentioned gases. If you're wondering why we can't just breath pure oxygen, it's because our reliance on this relatively small amount of oxygen can cause over activity or euphoria in pure or oxygen rich environments.
How often does oxygen cycle through the atmosphere?
oxygen is a constant 20 percent throughout the atmosphere. Even in space but the air is so thin in space that the oxygen would have to be compressed to be able to breathe it. Here on earth at sea level the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI) making it possible for your body to inhale enough usable oxygen for you to breathe. As you go higher the pressure is less so even though the oxygen is still 20% of the atmosphere there is less atmosphere for you to breathe.
Why do females inhale less air than males?
Generally speaking they are smaller framed and have smaller lungs.
Why is thre less oxygeen in exhale air than in inhale air?
Because oxygen is used in (aerobic) respiration
Why female golfers are paid less then males?
because no one watches female golfing. sorry to break it too you.
Why is there less oxygen in exhaled air then inhaled?
You breathe air for the oxygen and hydrogen, when you inhale chemical changes begin and you take in the oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide which things like plants then use to make more oxygen. You are not exhaling the same compound.
What causes the air pressure in your lungs to decrease and make you inhale?
When you inhale, oxygen fills your lungs. Next the oxygen diffuses out of your lungs into your bloodstream. The diffusion of oxygen from the lungs causes less pressure in your lungs signaling your brain that you need to inhale.
Is breathing problem because of smoking?
Yes in someway. See, a healthy non smoker has a lung capacity of a 100%. Smokers have can inhale about 80%. When you excersice you will be able to inhale less oxygen and therefore be exhausted faster or for example lift less weight then you used to.
How does carbon dioxide increase breathing rate?
First you have to know first about inhalation and expiration Inhalation : We take oxygen from outside into our body Expiration : We release carbon dioxide from our body We need oxygen to burn our food an make energy, that is why we inhale it. Now, where does CO2 (carbon dioxide) comes from? because we only inhale oxygen, right? The food that we eat is burnt by oxygen to produce energy and CO2. The CO2 is dangerous for our body and hence should be taken away from our body. This is why if there is less oxygen and more carbon dioxide in the air, we tend to exhale faster. And because there is less oxygen, the body wants us to inhale faster to get more oxygen. Hence, the faster breathing.
Is a male or female hamster more gentle and less likely to bite?
Males are usually considered less panicky then Females, to the answer is Male
Why you inhale oxygen rather than nitrogen?
One cannot help but inhale a certain amount of nitrogen with every breath, due to its high concentration in the air. However, nitrogen is not used as extensively by the body as oxygen, and thus most of what is inhaled is then exhaled back into the atmosphere. Oxygen is used all the time in cellular respiration, while nitrogen is less commonly needed.
Is the sacrum and coccyx shorter and less curved in the female than in males?
yes. sacral curve in female is less curve in male. female needs to keep the tailbone posterior in order to increase the size of pelvic cavity to acccommate fetus.
What is a female marijuana?
The Female sex of the Marijuana Strain is the one containing containing the "bud" or the Flower, Males generally contain more seeds, and have less quality material.
Does female animal initiate mating?
For the most part, yes the female animal does initiate mating. The female animals typically choose the male based on the males displays or characteristics. When the males are less aggressive the female chooses which male to mate with. In other animal species, the female animal gives off a scent and the male can pick up on this, thus it would appear that the female is the initiator.
