Breathing more rapidly when overheated helps to expel excess heat from the body through exhalation, cooling the body down. The increase in breathing rate also helps to increase oxygen intake, which is important during times of heat stress to support the body's overall functioning and maintain homeostasis.
What part of the body is a breathing system?
The respiratory system is the part of the body responsible for breathing. It includes the lungs, airways, and muscles involved in breathing such as the diaphragm. This system is crucial for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment.

What is the difference between a breathing machine and life support?
A breathing machine, often referred to as a ventilator, specifically assists or takes over the breathing process for patients who cannot breathe adequately on their own. Life support, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of medical interventions designed to sustain essential bodily functions, which may include ventilators, but also involves other systems like cardiac support, dialysis, or nutritional support. Essentially, all breathing machines can be considered a form of life support, but not all life support involves breathing machines.
Why does the body excrete water?
The body excretes water through urine, sweat, and breathing to maintain a balance of fluid levels. This process helps regulate body temperature, remove waste products, and support various physiological functions.
