If a bullet punctures the lungs, it can create a hole that allows air to escape from the lung into the chest cavity, leading to a condition known as a pneumothorax. This loss of air reduces the lung's ability to expand, impairing oxygen exchange and making breathing shallow and painful. Additionally, the presence of blood or other fluids in the chest cavity can further compromise lung function, resulting in respiratory distress and potentially life-threatening complications. Immediate medical intervention would be necessary to address the injury and restore normal breathing.

How might your breathing rate be affected if you were in a room where the amount of oxygen in the air was slightly less than normal why?
This would mean your body is not getting the amount of oxygen that is needed, so in turn your brain tells your lungs to collect more air, in turn your breathing rate would become sped up exponentially to collect oxygen faster to recuperate.
What is the major breathing muscle in your body?
well, i guess it would be you diaphram since it pulls air into your lungs.
Why is it important to breathing to have a closed chest cavity?
There would be a loss in the ability for the lungs to have pressure because air could be forced out of the wound during movement of the lungs.
