Chapter 46.3, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The most important feedback stimulus for breathing.
Introduction:
Humans breathe through lungs, some of the aquatic animals respire with the help of gills, and some simple organisms respire through their skin. Breathing is a complex process that involves inspiration (inhaling the air into the lungs) and expiration (exhalation of air from the lungs).
