How breathing rate is controlled?
bcuz your lungs cant lose air when u run bcuz your lungs cant lose air when u run bcuz your lungs cant lose air when u run
altitude
How does the respiratory system work when your sleeping?
Yes it does. If it didn't, you would not live to see morning.

What happens to air as it passes through the respiratory system?
air is filtered, warmed, and moistened.
If a person exercises a lot, he or she will not only train his or her muscles, but also his or her lungs. And since the lungs are surrounded by muscles, you train these muscles too. So a marathon runner has stronger lungs, that have a bigger capacity, as the muscles that surround can contract and stretch farther than those of a nonactive person.
How does the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together to supply the body with oxygen?
The circulatory system and the respiratory system work closely together to ensure that organ tissues receive enough oxygen. The air breathed in and held in the lungs is transferred to the blood. The blood is circulated by the heart, which pumps the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body. Additionally, the two body systems work together to remove carbon dioxide they do this by
What is the life process that all living things do?
They all breathe or undergo the process known as respiration.
Which statements is false regarding how ozone can affect the lungs and respiratory system?
Ozone can trigger Asthma attack in adults but not in children.
What enters your blood with each breath of fresh air?
The diaphragm squeezes the air out of your lungs
What is the difference between ventilation and respiration?
Ventilation is free flow of air into the room
respiration is free flow of air from outside to lungs and back
into air.
The process of going air into lungs is called ----inspitaion
the process of going air from lungs to out side ---expiration
so respiration =inspiration+expiration(mathematically)

How does diagnosis of pulmonary valve stenosis begin?
Diagnosis of pulmonary valve stenosis begins with the patient's medical history and a physical exam. Tests to confirm the diagnosis include chest x ray, echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, and catherization
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.
Pulmonary edema shortness of breath and fatigue are most likely to result from?
left-sided congestive heart failure
How does the Respiratory System works?
Respiratory system consists of
- the nasal passage ways where air is filtered and warmed
- the pharynx, larynx , trachea, and bronchi for transport of air to the lungs' interior
- lungs and alveoli where the exchange of gases with the bloodstream takes place
The respiratory system supplies the body with oxygen and expels carbon dioxide.
How would thick-walled alveoli affect the exchange of the respiratory gases?
lower exchange rate,takes longer for gases to diffuse
What is meant by residual volume with reference of breathing?
Exhalation is a passive action that results from elastic recoil and changes in air pressure. When this happens naturally a portion of air remains within the lungs- residual volume. However when exhalation is forced, that is conscious efforts to expel as much air as possible, many of the residual volume can be forced out of the lungs.
What is the medical term meaning acute infection of alveoli causing loss of aeration?
Pneumonia leading to consolidation and collapse.
How changes in lung tissue reduce effectiveness if gas exchange?
reduced elasticity in the lung tissue means that less air can fill the lungs when somone breathes in making it harder to breathe. asbestosis is a diease where the asbestos fibres cause the destruction of phagocytes and the surrounding lung tissue becomes scarred and fibrous, the fibrous tissue reduces elasticity of the lungs and causes the alveolar walls to thicken.
