Quotes About Respiration

stromatolites—a kind of living rock made by billions and billions of microscopic cyanobacteria. The tiny respirations of these organisms over millions of years largely created Earth's oxygen-rich atmosphere, paving the way for more complex living things.

I'm an asthmatic. I have to be on that treadmill singing to get my lungs right.

It is no doubt technically possible to study metabolism and respiration of fishes during swimming at a constant rate, and of certain insects and birds during flight, and to obtain information similar to that obtained on man during work on a bicycle ergometer or a treadmill.

Trees are our closest relatives. What trees exhale, we inhale; what we exhale, they inhale. They are half our respiratory system.

and their ability to ventilate their lungs, amphibians developed a

I fixed my nose, and now I'm breathing better, snoring less.

breathing. He coughed from deep inside his lungs

In summary, learn to breathe quickly with a low-profile breath to reduce frontal drag. Release some air from your nose after the breath, while looking down, not forward. Adopt the breathing pattern (respiratory rate) that is appropriate for the event, your age, aerobic fitness level (VO2 max), and your freestyle technique (stroke rate). Once you do all of that, you will find that the breath in freestyle doesn't have to be so problematic after all.

Despite what you might guess, when monitoring your breathing, your body doesn't care whether you're inhaling enough oxygen. It cares only whether you're expelling enough carbon dioxide - that's the gas that sets off the panic button when you're suffocating.

Fish is the only kind of respirating thing that I consume. Everything else I don't want any part of.

El patrón respiratorio presenta períodos de inspiraciones muy breves, de tipo apneico (respiración casi detenida), seguidos de exhalaciones pasivas incompletas y a veces por una fase espiratoria de tipo "suspiro".

Sus características respiratorias se definen por una breve y abrupta inspiración por la nariz seguida de una espiración por la boca abierta, el aire saliendo en breves sacadas explosivas que pueden invadir hasta la pausa espiratoria.

en el llanto modulan la fase inspiratoria, el aire entra en trecortadamente por la nariz, y sale en una larga espiración por la boca abierta (como en un suspiro). Cuando el llanto arrecia las sacadas entrecortadas también invaden la fase espiratoria (estallidos sacádicos) y se acompañan por sacudidas de los hombros.

El patrón respiratorio del modelo efector que obtuvimos para la rabia, se caracteriza por ciclos rítmicos de alta frecuencia y de gran amplitud, predominando la respiración abdominal. Siempre la describo como una respiración en "dientes de sierra". Se inspira y se espira por la nariz, dilatando y contrayendo bruscamente las fosas nasales.

El patrón respiratorio se caracteriza por un ritmo regular, de baja frecuencia y con espiraciones prolongadas; el aire entra y sale por la nariz, la boca está semicerrada y los labios relajados forman una leve sonrisa.

Breathing is the one physical function which is both involuntary (it goes on by itself) and voluntary (we can control our respiration consciously). The staggering significance of this simple insight was obvious to India's inner explorers: the breath is therefore the key to control over the autonomic nervous system, that part of our functioning we Westerners were taught lies outside our awareness and runs entirely unconsciously.

It's no coincidence that "aspiration" means both hope and the act of breathing. When we speak, we use the breath in our lungs to give our thoughts a physical form. The sounds we make are simultaneously our intentions and our life force.

One mitochondrion contains tens of thousands of copies of each respiratory complex. A single cell contains hundreds or thousands of mitochondria. Your 40 trillion cells contain at least a quadrillion mitochondria, with a combined convoluted surface area of about 14,000 square metres; about four football fields. Their job is to pump protons, and together they pump more than 1021 of them – nearly as many as there are stars in the known universe – every second.
