Breathing Rate and Lung Function

The video tutorial covers the human breathing process, including the roles of the nose, trachea, and lungs. It explains inhalation and exhalation, highlighting the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The tutorial also discusses factors affecting breathing rates, such as activities, emotions, age, altitude, and weather. Key scientific insights include the size difference between the lungs and the use of oxygen in cellular respiration.

Why is breathing essential for humans?

• To digest food

• To hear sounds

• To stay alive

• To see clearly

Which of the following is NOT a main breathing organ in humans?

• They expand

• They stay the same

What is the main difference in gas content between inhaled and exhaled air?

• Inhaled air has more carbon dioxide

• Exhaled air has more oxygen

• Exhaled air has more nitrogen

• Inhaled air has more oxygen

What happens to the diaphragm during exhalation?

• It moves downward

• It moves upward

• It stays still

• It contracts

Why is the left lung smaller than the right lung?

• Because of the spleen

• Because of the liver

• Because of the stomach

• Because of the heart

What is the rate of breathing?

• The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled

• The number of chest movements per minute

• The number of breaths per hour

• The amount of oxygen inhaled

How does exercise affect the rate of breathing?

• It stops breathing
