What happens to the air pressure when inhalation?
When the diaphragm contracts the lungs are pulled down. This creates space in the lungs for air to rush in because air pressure is greater outside the body than inside the body. So in order to reach an equilibrium the air outside rushes into the lungs when you inhale. To my little knowledge of the body,the lungs collapse on exhaling and expand on inhaling.As the brain controls everything,except the heart, the heart has cells which can think for itself.If the brain stopped functioning,the heart can still beat as long as it has oxygen in the lungs.As soon as the air is used up the heart will eventually stop.When you sleep your heart keeps the lungs inhaling and exhaling to maintain life until you awake.Then the brain goes into a rest period and just gives the heart and lungs a slight electric shock to keep them going. If Im wrong here please let me know.

This is not possible and she is lying to you. Water in the lungs can lead to the person choking and will finally die if not treated.
Why exhaling carbon dioxide can not put out a fire?
When you exhale, you are not exhaling carbon dioxide. You are exhaling air with a slightly higher-than-normal concentration of carbon dioxide and a slightly lower-than-normal concentration of oxygen. Carbon dioxide extinguishes fire by forcing oxygen away from the fuel, but the air you exhale still has more than enough oxygen to support combustion.
Why breathing rate of children is different from adults?
Because they have a higher metabolism rate and a faster heartbeat. It is also possible that the lungs are not as efficient since they are still growing.

I don't understand how CPR works we breathe in oxygen and we exhale CO2 so how come during CPR when we breathe into the person we are exhaling CO2 into there body insted of oxygen?
Atmospheric air has about 20.5% oxygen and our lungs only extract about 4.5% oxygen, so the air we exhale has about 16% oxygen, 4.5% CO2. The air we breathe into the victim then has 16% oxygen for their lungs to extract oxygen from.

My stomach
When you breathe out does all the air comes out of the lungs?
No, there is still some air left inside the lungs.
When you inspire to take a breath what happens to the pressure and volume in the lungs?
When the diaphragm contracts the lungs are pulled down. This creates space in the lungs for air to rush in because air pressure is greater outside the body than inside the body. So in order to reach an equilibrium the air outside rushes into the lungs when you inhale.
