How do you achieve circulatory breathing?
What I have heard is that you blow through a straw into water for as long as you can. If you do it enough then you will be able to achieve circulatory breathing.
What are the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract?
In addition to their function in respiration, the respiratory system also:
- Maintains the acid-base balance of blood by adjusteing the level of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
- Filters out small blood clots formed in veins
- Filters out tiny gas bubbles in the veins like the ones that form those created during decompression after underwater diving
- Affects the blood levels of certain medications
- Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II via angiotensin-converting enzyme
- Offers some physical protection for the heart
- Secretes immunoglobulin-A in the bronchial secretions
- Offers immune protection through the effects of antimicrobial substances in the respiratory mucus, and through the activity of the respiratory cilia.
- Allows speech by providing airflow through the vocal cords.
- Helps reduce body temperature via panting.

Why is breathing slower when asleep?
Because, when you're active and awake and doing more things, your heart is pumping blood faster, causing you to have to breathe faster. When asleep, your body doesn't need as much oxygen, simply because you're not doing anything.
What is a blunting of the the distal phalanges seen in advanced chronic pulmonary disease?
Blunting of the distal phalanges is a diagnostic term referring to the "clubbing" of the fingertips as was documented by Hippocrates in conjunction with the occurrence of advanced pulmonary disease. Hence, it is also referred to as "Hippocratic fingers." It is a deformity of the fingers evident in several diseases, but perhaps most notable in the later stages of lung and heart dysfunction. Other names for this phenomena include "drumstick fingers" and "watch-glass nails." Perhaps a more practical phrasing of the question would refer to blunting of the fingertips in heart and lung conditions as opposed to an ass-raping of medical terms that an average yet intelligent person would not bother slogging through to find such an unexciting answer. "What do clubbed fingers indicate in advanced pulmonary disease?" would perhaps be a more streamlined and less pedantic phrasing of the question...unless the sole purpose was to intimidate those with a life-threatening chronic illness. Congratulations...maybe another useless specialist understood that question but the information rendered was completely ineffectual for the non-medical community.

How is aerobic workout related to aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration means: an organism or tissue that requires the presence of oxygen to break down food sources to create energy
So, when you do aerobic exercises, you are requiring the use of oxygen intake for a successful and healthy exercise routine. As you exercise, your body is using the oxygen in the air to facilitate the breakdown of fats in your body to create energy for you to move around. An aerobic workout is one of the most healthy forms of exercise.
What is the function of celia?

What effects does poop have on your respiratory system?

Why is the respiratory system important?
the respiratory system is important because that's where all the breathing happens. you need breathing to survive just like you need the heart to survive. the respiratory system includes alot of the things that we use, for example the lungs.
Your whole body needs oxgen to survive. Your respitory system transports the oxygen from the air to where its needed in the body and removes the co2. If you have a bad fitness your body will be less able to cope with the demands on it. The higher the demand (stress or physical activity) the more oxygen is needed. If your respitory becomes very bad due to diet/illness etc it can have trouble coping with the normal demands of day to day life and then your set up for a heart attack!
you would die
