following fractures of T5 and T10 vertebrae, shortness of breath is a problem and oxygen level decreased to 93. Anyone with an idea why this is occurring?

Why males have abdominal breathing and females have thoracic breathing?

This is due to the musculature of males in comparison with females.diaphragmatic/abdominal breathing involves the deep descent of the diaphragm to increase intrathoracic volume for air to be sucked intn lungs.this facilitates better oxygen intake and utilitization by the body.Tight dress patterns of females is also a contributing factor as the abdominal muscles cannot contract effectively hence a switch to thoracic breathing.

What are the primary functions of the organs in the thoracic cavity?

Breathing (OR ventilation) and respiration: The major organs in the thoracic cavity are the lungs and the heart, which work in conjunction to provide oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide produced during respiration. Gaseous exchange occurs within the lungs (respiratory system), while the heart (cardiovascular system) is responsible for pumping the oxygenated/deoxygenated blood around the body. The thoracic cavity also contains the diaphragm, and ribs which aid in breathing/ventilation.

How is respiration a affect of people?

Respiration is a vital process in which humans intake oxygen and release carbon dioxide. It supplies oxygen to our cells for cellular respiration, producing energy. Problems like asthma or respiratory infections can affect breathing and overall health.


Can people's breathing affect other people's breathing?

Yes, people's breathing can affect other people's breathing in close proximity through droplets or aerosols, particularly if someone is sick or carrying a respiratory infection. In general, breathing does not have a significant impact on another person's breathing unless in a situation like CPR.

Does hemoglobin affect breathing?

Hemoglobin itself does not directly affect the act of breathing, which is primarily controlled by the respiratory center in the brain. However, hemoglobin plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Adequate levels of hemoglobin are essential for efficient gas exchange and overall oxygen delivery, which can influence how the body responds to the need for increased breathing during physical activity or in response to low oxygen levels.


Does the temperature of a goldfish affect a goldfish respiration?

The temperature of the water can affect the amount of available oxygen for the fish. In a warmer temperature, the oxygen tends to be lower (and even more so if there is algae), thus their breathing rate tends to be higher. In cooler water, there is more oxygen than warmer, and for the most part, their breathing rate tends to be more shallow.
