Human Respiration and the Circulatory System
Respiration
Respiration is the process by which air containing oxygen enters our body, and air rich in carbon dioxide is expelled. A living being can survive for several hours without eating, sleeping, or drinking water, but cannot stop breathing for more than three minutes. This fact highlights the importance of breathing for our lives.
Composition of Air
- Nitrogen (N2): 78.084%
- Oxygen (O2): 20.946%
- Argon (Ar): 0.9340%
