Breathing is an essential physiological process that we are often not even aware of. Still, without him life would not be possible. Here we tell you what breathing consists of and what its phases are.
What is the breath?
Respiration is a physiological process typical of living beings. Through it, we exchange gases with the environment. Oxygen, a substance necessary for all cells in the body to function properly, is introduced into the body.
Oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. This gas is the result of metabolic processes that take place in the body. Cells use oxygen and, as a result, produce carbon dioxide. If it is found in high concentrations in the body, it is toxic, so it is expelled to the outside.
The entire process of breathing is carried out constantly, consciously or unconsciously. The moment we stop breathing for a short time, our cells stop receiving oxygen and stop performing their function, which in the end causes their death.
