is made up of the Central Nervous System (or CNS) and a network of nerves that extend from the CNS to all parts of the body. The nervous system regulates both voluntary activities‚ such as walking and talking‚ and involuntary activities‚ such as breathing‚ which you make no conscious decisions about.

Title: the mechanism of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange in the respiratory of human Abstract The purpose of the experiment is to determine gas exchange activity in the respiratory system of human. The first lab for comparing the room and breathe temperature was to understand the function of the nasal cavity where the gas passed after an inhalation. The second lab for changing of chest circumference and abdomen circumference between inspiration and expiration was to know how the air moved in

will constrict during exercise so more blood goes to the muscles because we not need blood going to out organs. They will dilate to allow more blood to go to our muscles so we can have more oxygen rich blood and can perform better. Increased breathing rate During exercise your muscles demand more oxygen‚ when there is more oxygen entering your body there is also more carbon dioxide leaving the body. There are chemoreceptors in the brain and the heart that sense the amount of oxygen‚ carbon
