BreathingAdjective1. Passing or able to pass air in and out of the lungs normally; sometimes used in combination; "the boy was disappointed to find only skeletons instead of living breathing dinosaurs"; "the heavy-breathing person on the telephone". Noun1. The process of taking in oxygen from inhaled air and releasing carbon dioxide by exhalation. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Respiration has two common meanings in biology.
- Respiration is the process of oxidising food to release energy. It is the opposite of photosynthesis. If this is the type of respiration you are looking for see cellular respiration.
- Respiration is the process or processes involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment.It is this meaning of respiration that is addressed on this page.
Respiration uses oxygen and fuel (food) to produce energy for cellss. The products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. A demonstration that carbon dioxide is a product of respiration is often shown in schools. See School science experiment- Huff & Puff Apparatus for details.
Respiration in Animals
Respiration in animals is divided into:Respiration can be measured using a device called a respirometer.
- Internal respiration, or the interchange of oxygen and carbonic acid between the cells of the body and the bathing them, which in one sense is a process of nutrition.
- External respiration, or the gaseous interchange taking place in the special respiratory organss, the lungs. This constitutes respiration proper. In the respiration of plants oxygen is likewise absorbed and carbonic acid exhaled, but in the light this process is obscured by the light-phase of photosynthesis in which the plant inhales and absorbs carbon dioxide and exhales oxygen.
Plants
Plant respiration is limited by the process of diffusion. Even a baobab tree is mostly dead because air can penetrate only skin deep. However, most plants are not involved in highly metabolic activities like hunting, i.e. they do not need the energy necessary for predators, and thus their breathing is limited.
Insects
Insects have no concentrated respiratory organs. (Perkins, 2003) Instead insects use a system of tracheae, thin channels, that run through their body, to improve on simple diffusion and let air flow more freely throughout the organism. Spiracles are small holes that open to the outside of the body and allow air in. Spiracles can be found along the abdomen and thorax of the insect body but never on the head. (Perkins, 2003) The spiracles can control the amount of air that is let into the insect. The spiracles lead to the trachea which act like "large distribution tubes" for the air being carried. (Perkins, 2003) The trachea lead to smaller tubes called tracheoles. The insects' cells can't be too far from these tracheoles because this is where oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of the hemolymph. This simple system limits their size because insects are purely diffusive. No modern insect exists that is larger then a foot or so (in metric units, about half a meter). Many people fear big bugs, and they should be comforted by this fact.
Tissue Engineering
In tissue engineering, respiration is an essential problem. The small depth of diffusion respiration sufficient to support the metabolism of an average human cell is less than a milimetre in metric units, or less than a quarter of a quarter of an inch in Imperial units. Various substances can be used to enhance this depth, essentially having a haemoglobising role.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The respiratory system is the biological system of any organism that engages in gaseous exchange. Even trees have respiratory systems, taking in carbon dioxide and emitting oxygen.The human respiratory system consists of:
The alveoli and bronchioles form the lungs. Air is moved in and out of the lungs by the movements of the rib cage and diaphragm, which expand the lungs to draw in air and compress the lungs to drive out air. A simple model of how the lungs are inflated can be built from a bell jar.
- nasal passages, in which air is moistened and in which the sense of smell operates
- the pharynx, a common area in the back of the mouth through which air, food and drink passes
- the larynx, or voicebox
- the trachea, an air tube that connects with the bronchi
- bronchi, tubes that carry air to and from the lungs
- bronchioles, branches of the bronchi which distribute air to the alveoli
- alveoli, terminal sacs in which gas exchange occurs
There are four basic measured lung volumes:
From these volumes, several important capacities are also calculated:
- The tidal volume (TV): the volume of air an individual is normally breathing in and out.
- The inspiratory reserve volume (IRV): the maximum volume of air that can be inspired in addition to the tidal volume.
- The expiratory reserve volume (ERV): the maximum volume of air that can be expired in addition to the normally expired air.
- The residual volume (RV): the amount of air that is always in the lungs and can never be expired (i.e.: the amount of air that stays in the lungs after maximum expiration).
- The total lung capacity (TLC): the total volume of the lung (i.e.: the volume of air in the lungs after maximum inspiration).
TLC = IRV + TV + ERV + RV
- The functional residual capacity (FRC): the amount of air that stays in the lungs during normal breathing.
FRC = ERV + RVSource: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Respiratory system."
