    atmospheric pressure‚ intrapulmonary pressure‚ and intrapleural pressure.. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted on us on the earth due to the weight of air molecules. Humans are not overwhelmed with this because of Intrapulmonary pressure‚ the pressure within our lungs. Intrapulmonary pressure causes our lungs to stay slightly inflated even after we exhale. Intrapleural pressure is the pressure on our pleura. This is

    The respiratory system of the horse is well adapted to athletic exercise‚ with unrestricted upper airway diameters‚ and a large lung capacity afforded by 18 ribs. These combine to enable air intakes of up to 1800 litres per minute in a galloping horse. Volumes of up to 300 litres of blood are pumped at high pressure through small lung capillaries surrounding 10 million air sacs to take up and deliver over 70 litres of oxygen per minute to the working muscles at the gallop. As a result‚ any restriction

This system consists of several organs such as the trachea‚ lungs‚ larynx‚ pharynx‚ etc. All of these organs work together to help us breathe and are formed to their function. There is two different ways of respiration; external respiration which is the exchange of gases between the alveoli and the blood‚ and internal respiration which is the exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells

    function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe‚ we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. The regulation of breathing is the result of a complex interaction involving a system of sensors‚ a respiratory control center‚ and an effector system to carry out its
