What is human exhalation?
Exhalation, or 'breathing out', is the part of breathing where air is released from the lungs. Put another way, it is the end of the cycle of breathing. It is the opposite of inhalation, or 'breathing in', where air is taken into the lungs. OR ANOTHER WAY TO PUT IT... It is when you breathe out. That's why someone might tell you "Inhale..... Exhale.....". It's when the diaphragm pushes the air out of your lungs. When the diaphragm pulls down, you are inhaling. When your diaphragm pushes out, you have just exhaled. That's where the part "exhalation" comes from, and for "human"... I'm pretty sure you'd know that. ;) Hope this helps!
