Question
Chapter 46.3, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The process of exhalation and inhalation in a mammal at resting state.
Introduction:
Respiration is a vital life process by which living organisms are allowed to respire, in order to get maximum of oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide. The primary organs in human beings are lungs, through which respiration takes place by the process of negative pressure breathing. The human respiration system is more complex in terrestrial animals.
