Because there is no hair or mucus (I know it's gross if you imagine it) to block out dirt in the air that we breathe in. Whereas in the nose, there are. And the air we breathe in through the mouth will go down to our throat and cause our throat to be dry and we will develop cough or flu (maybe).

How does a yellow perch breathe?

Circle the ones that are bolded.The process begins by water in the fish's surrounding entering its mouth's. Water enters the mouth by a very effective pumping system that involves the mouth and the outer flexible bony flap that cover the gills called the operculum. This is achieved by the opening and closing of the fish's mouth as it pumps water through the gills. When the fish's mouth is open, the operculum closes and water is drawn into the fish's mouth. Conversely, when the fish closes its mouth, the operculum opens and fresh water is then allowed to flow across the gills.By: Matthew Christensen

Is it bad to breathe slowly or fast?

Bad is such a value-laden word... Sounds like you might want running advice. Slow and deep or quick and shallow. Which is going to provide you with better oxygen transfer sounds like the question. Recognize that you have a biological dead air space where no respiration occurs. If you breathe shallowly and don't take in more than about a pint at a time, you will suffocate because fresh air is not getting into your lungs. When you breathe deeply, you are getting the maximum quantity of fresh air with oxygen into contact with lung tissue. Deep breathing is, therefore, more efficient. While you are training yourself to breathe deeply, practice breathing through the nose rather than through the mouth. Your nose will condition the air and prepare it for the lungs.


You have asthma and you breathe through your mouth all the time is this bad?

One aspect of being a "mouth breather" (thats what my Dentist called me during an exam after I explained my exercise induced asthma and allergy to house dust) is that it can redden and inflame the gums of your mouth surrounding your teeth. At least according to my dentist. I brush and take good care of my teeth and was explaining this to my Dentist when he asked "are you a mouth breather?" I replied that I work out a lot (1hr+ daily) and have exercise induced asthma and thus breath in through mouth and nose . . . a lot via mouth (I would breath in through my ears if I could . . . anything to force more air to my lungs during intense cardio). The dust allergies gives me mild but chronic nasal congestion and I often end up breathing through my mouth. The dentist asserts that excessive "mouth breathing" can lead to increased inflammation of the gums around your teeth. Go figure . . . .
