Breathing is the process that moves air in and out of the lungs of terrestrial vertebrates.

Aerobic organisms of these types as reptiles, birds and mammals--require oxygen to release energy viarespiration, in the form of the metabolismof energy-rich molecules such asglucose. Breathing is only one process that deliversoxygen to where it is needed in the body and removescarbon dioxide. Another important process involves the movement of blood by the circulatory system.

Gas exchange occurs in the pulmonaryalveoli by passive diffusion of gases between the alveolar gas and the blood in lungcapillaries. Once these dissolved gases are in theblood, the heart powers their flow around the body (via the circulatory system). The medical term for normal relaxed breathing is eupnoea.

What are the lungs like?

The lungs act a bit like baloons. When you breathe in they will inflate, when you breathe out they will deflate. Using a balloon may be useful way to understand this, breathe into the balloon and it will inflate (this is what happens when you breathe in). Next, leave the air out (slowly) and this is what happens your lungs when you breathe out.
