Jeffrey Kluger

The mind and the body are inextricably entwined, and rarely are their inseparability clearer than when we're under some kind of mental pressure. The moment we start trying to learn a new skill, make a decision or otherwise think on our feet, our nervous system reacts - with accelerated pulse rate, increased respiration, even sweating.

American Writer

Lyall Watson

Breathing air is a liberating experience. It freed our ancestors from the constraints of staying wet or having to remain within easy reach of water for refuge, respiration or reproduction. But the biggest change it made in our lives was to expose us to a whole new range of sensory experience.

South African Scientist

Peter A. Levine

Basically, in the fight-or-flight response, the objective is to get away from the source of threat. All of our muscles prepare for this escape by increasing their tension level, our heart rate and respiration increase, and our whole basic metabolic system is flooded with adrenaline.

American Psychologist

August Krogh

It is no doubt technically possible to study metabolism and respiration of fishes during swimming at a constant rate, and of certain insects and birds during flight, and to obtain information similar to that obtained on man during work on a bicycle ergometer or a treadmill.

Smallpox, which spreads by respiration and kills roughly one in three of those infected, took hundreds of millions of lives during a recorded history dating to Pharaonic Egypt. The last case was in 1978, and the disease was declared eradicated on May 8, 1980.

American Journalist

Otto Heinrich Warburg

The toxic effect of carbon monoxide on man has nothing to do with inhibition of cellular respiration by carbon monoxide but is based on the reaction of carbon monoxide with blood iron.

German Scientist

Umberto Eco

Entering a novel is like going on a climb in the mountains: You have to learn the rhythms of respiration - acquire the pace. Otherwise you stop right away.

Italian Novelist

Archibald Hill

One knows that after violent exercise one breathes heavily for some time: the more violent the exercise, the longer one's respiration is laboured.

English Psychologist

Steve King

But we need to quit taxing people upon death. No taxation without respiration.

American Politician

Anthony Burgess

He said it was artificial respiration, but now I find I am to have his child.

English Novelist

Used to describe the physical movement involved in breathing.

Physical Action

Refers to breathing as a vital sign checked by medical professionals.

Health Indicator

Often used in everyday language to discuss breathing normally or when ill.

Common Expression

Highlights the biochemical reactions going on in living organisms.

Biological Process

Emphasizes respiration as a means to release energy from food.

Energy Production

Primarily used in scientific discussions or education.

Academic Context

Concerns measuring how fast or slow breathing occurs.

Rate Aspect

Used to indicate changes in breathing due to exercise or exertion.

Physical Activity

Used by medical staff to assess a patient's respiratory health.

Medical Monitoring

 Below that's the actual heart rate and the trend; to the right of that is a bioconductant. That's the fluid status, fluid status, that's really important if you're monitoring somebody with heart failure. And below that's temperature, and respiration, and oxygen, and then the position activity.

 Pythons' long bodies help the reptiles kill by way of constriction. They wrap their bodies around prey and every time the prey exhales, the python squeezes more tightly. This disrupts the prey's respiration and blood flow inevitably leading to its death.

 Your vital organs, the gut, brain, bones, lungs, blood, and heart work together to sustain your life by delivering oxygen to tissues throughout your body. Most of our cells need oxygen because it's one of the key ingredients of aerobic respiration.

 Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use sunlight to produce organic matter from carbon dioxide and water, powering the biosphere's food chains. We release this food energy using chemical reactions, like combustion and respiration.
