How Does Breathing Work?
Breathing  

How do you breath? Take a deep breath. Feel the air rushing in? How does it feel? Cool? Crisp? Now blow out. Do you feel the warm air blowing over your lips? As you breath in, a special organ called a diaphragm pulls your lungs down, making them bigger. This causes air to rush into your lungs. Think about this for a moment.





Imagine you are taking a bath. Sitting on the side of the tub is an empty shampoo bottle. What happens if you squeeze the shampoo bottle, and then stick it under water? Nothing right? But now suppose that you let go of the side of the bottle, keeping it under water. As the sides of the bottle expand, the shampoo bottle fills with water.

 
Respitory System

As your lungs expand, they fill with air. If you were to again squeeze the bottle what would happen? The water would squirt out, wouldn'tS it. When your diaphragm again squeezes you’re the bottom side of your lungs, air is forced out of them.
