The Respiration Process

Breathing is a process by
air is taken into the
lungs and carbon dioxide
is pushed out of the
lungs.
The Path of Air Inside
the Body
We say that breathing is an
involuntary process because
we do not think about it
when we do it.
This is important to keep us
alive.
Breathing involves two parts.
a. Breathing in is called
inhaling or inspiration.
b. Breathing out is called
exhaling or expiration.
When you inhale, you fill your
lungs with air.
When you exhale, you push air
with more carbon dioxide out
of the lungs.
