    Respiration
    Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells, including plant cells
    and animal cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose so that all the other
    chemical processes needed for life can happen. 

    >>> Inhale contain oxygen


    >>> Exhale contain carbon dioxide
    Types of Respiration
    Aerobic:
    Aerobic respiration is the aerobic catabolism of nutrients to carbon dioxide, water, and energy, and
    involves an electron transport system in which molecular oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Example is
    walking.
    The overall reaction is:
     C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

    Anaerobic:
    Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and releases less energy but more quickly than aerobic
    respiration. Anaerobic respiration in microorganisms is called fermentation. Hurdle race is example of
    anaerobic respiration.
    The overall reaction is:
     glucose + enzymes = carbon dioxide + ethanol / lactic acid
    Difference between Breathing and Respiration
    Breathing and respiration are two completely different but interrelated body processes
    which assist body organs to function properly.

     Breathing is the physical process of exchanging gases


     Respiration is a chemical process which takes place at a cellular level and produces
    energy.
    Breathing

    Breathing (or ventilation) is the process of moving air out and in the lungs to facilitate
    gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly to flush out carbon dioxide and
    bring in oxygen.

    Lungs is breathing organ.


    Lungs
    Structure of lungs

    The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax).

    The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called

    bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally

    becoming microscopic.

    The bronchioles eventually end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen from
    the air is absorbed into the blood. 
    Carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, travels from the blood to the alveoli, where it can be exhaled.
    Between the alveoli is a thin layer of cells, which contains blood vessels and cells that help support the alveoli.
    The lungs are covered by a thin tissue layer called the pleura. The same kind of thin tissue lines the inside of
    the chest cavity. A thin layer of fluid acts as a lubricant allowing the lungs to slip smoothly as they expand and
    contract with each breath.
    Breathing rate

    At rest normally breathe in and out about 16times per minutes. This rises to 20 or 30

    times per minute when exercising.
