Like oxygen, we can also inhale nitrogen. Nitrogen is beneficial for health unless it's liquid nitrogen. Nitrogen helps us dissolve food waste to prevent deadly diseases from forming. The air we're breathing is mainly oxygen but sometimes we're inhaling nitrogen.

Which element does our body inhale?
Oxygen and nitrogen
How does your body use nitrogen?
Then Nitrogen you inhale has no use. But nitrogen, from other sources, such as food, helps sperm production.
If you had a balloon filled with pure nitrogen would it be dangerous to inhale what exactly would happen to you if you did inhale it?
One balloon full? Nothing. We breathe Nitrogen constantly. It is only when you increase the proportion inhaled in comparison to Oxygen does it begin to have an effect. A constant stream of Nitrogen would suffocate you.
Why was nitrogen not removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
As far as I know, it is. Plants "inhale" nitrogen for the process of photosynthesis, then they "exhale" the oxygen that we breath in.
Which two gases are which you exhale more than inhale?
Carbon dioxide and water vapour.
Is nitrogen harmful to the human body?
If we were to inhale pure nitrogen, we would obviously die from lack of oxygen. Otherwise no, you have to understand that 70% of every breath you take is nitrogen
What gas makes up the largest percentage of the air we inhale?
Nitrogen, close to 80 %.
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.
Why is the percentage of nitrogen inhale and exhale the same?
The percentage of nitrogen remains the same as the amount of oxygen that was used was replaced by the water vapour and carbon dioxide
Why is the percentage of nitrogen the same as when you inhale air and exhale air?
Percent by volume. Nitrogen is almost insoluble in blood at normal pressures. Oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide so % nitrogen stays the same.
How much nitrogen do you inhale?
In air there is 20.98% Oxygen, so that's what we inhale. We exhale 16% of this Oxygen; hence why cardiopulmonary resuscitation is possible.
Can nitrogen be lethal?
If present in sufficient quantity it would suffocate a person, as they would be unable to inhale enough oxygen.
