The act of breathing with the lungs, consisting of inspiration, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of expiration, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more carbon dioxide than the air taken in (Blakiston’s Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration (= oxygen consumption) or cell respiration (= cell respiration).<\/p>\n
Interchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and its environment.<\/p>\n
Oxidative process in living cells in which oxygen or an inorganic com.pound serves as the terminal (final, ultimate) electron acceptor. Aerobic organisms obtain most of their energy from the oxidation of organic fuels. This process is known as respiration.<\/p>\n
The exchange of gases within the lungs and body cells, (a) Internal respiration is the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen by protoplasm (b) External respiration is the entrance of oxygen into the body and the exit of carbon dioxide from the body.<\/p>\n
The act of taking air into the lungs and blowing it out again through the mouth or nose.<\/p>\n
Processes involved in the exchange of gases oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment, involving both external respiration, or breathing, in which oxygen is taken from the air by alveoli in the lungs and carbon dioxide is released from the blood to be exhaled; and internal respiration, whereby the oxygen in the blood is absorbed by cells throughout the body and waste product carbon dioxide is absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs.<\/p>\n
The process of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body; breathing movements.<\/p>\n
The total process by which the body takes in oxygen from the environment, transports it in the blood to body cells, uses it to create energy, and gets rid of the waste products of cell function in the form of carbon dioxide in exhaled air. Respiration is often thought to he synonymous with breathing, but breathing is only the mechanical, or external, part of the respiratory function.<\/p>\n
The process of gaseous exchange between an organism and its environment. This includes both external respiration involving breathing, in which oxygen is taken up by the capillaries of the lung alveoli and carbon dioxide is released from the blood, and internal respiration, during which oxygen is released to the tissues and carbon dioxide absorbed by the blood. Blood provides the transport medium for the gases between the lungs and tissue cells. In addition, it contains a pigment, hemoglobin, with special affinity for oxygen. Once inside the cell oxygen is utilized in metabolic processes resulting in the production of energy, water, and waste materials (including carbon dioxide).<\/p>\n
The process in which air passes into and out of the lungs so that the blood can absorb oxygen and give off carbon dioxide and water. This occurs 18 times a minute in a healthy adult at rest and is called the respiratory rate. An individual breathes more than 25,000 times a day and during this time inhales around 16 kg of air.<\/p>\n
The interchange of gases between an organism and the medium in which it lives.<\/p>\n
Act of breathing; the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs and within each cell.<\/p>\n
Respiration, within the realm of cellular biology, encompasses a vital process through which cells acquire essential nutrients, notably glucose, along with oxygen. This intricate sequence of events entails the occurrence of chemical reactions within the cell, leading to the production and storage of energy. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide and waste byproducts are expelled from the cell. Through the coordinated orchestration of respiration, cells harness the necessary resources for their metabolic activities while efficiently eliminating metabolic byproducts. This dynamic cellular process is fundamental for sustaining cellular functions and ensuring the organism’s overall energy balance and homeostasis.<\/p>\n
A phrase describing the mechanisms through which body cells receive and make use of oxygen, as well as the processes by which they expel carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n
Inhalation draws oxygen-containing air into the lungs, where it enters tiny sacs known as alveoli. Within these sacs, oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream, which subsequently conveys it to the body’s cells. There, it plays a vital role in metabolizing glucose to generate energy. As a byproduct of this process, carbon dioxide is generated and moves from the body’s cells into the bloodstream. This carbon dioxide is then transported through the blood to the lungs, where it is exhaled during exhalation.<\/p>\n
The process of respiration is managed involuntarily by the respiratory center located in the brainstem.<\/p>\n
The process of breathing involves inhaling and exhaling air from the lungs. An ordinary breath takes in and releases about 500 cubic centimeters of air, which is called tidal air. In addition to this, a forceful intake of breath can bring in approximately 1500 cubic centimeters of complemental air. After a regular exhale, about 1500 cubic centimeters of reserve or supplemental air remains in the lungs. Even after a complete exhale, there is still some air left, known as residual air, which ranges from 1200 to 1600 cubic centimeters. The total volume of air that can be expelled after the deepest inhalation is referred to as vital or respiratory capacity, and it equals the sum of tidal, complemental, and reserve air, approximately 3,500 cubic centimeters.<\/p>\n
