Inhalation (Inspiration)

Inhalation (inhalation) is the process of drawing air into the lungs through the mouth and nose.

When you inhale, the diaphragm lowers, which increases the volume of the chest. This creates a vacuum in the lungs, and air fills them under the influence of atmospheric pressure. Air passes through the nasal and oral cavities, pharynx, larynx and trachea and enters the bronchi, which divide into smaller bronchioles ending in alveoli.

Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli - oxygen from the air enters the blood, and carbon dioxide is removed from the blood to the outside. This process is called external respiration and is part of the body's respiratory system.

Inhalation, along with exhalation, constitutes one respiratory cycle. On average, an adult makes 12-16 breathing cycles per minute. Breathing is controlled by the respiratory center located in the medulla oblongata.

Introduction

Inhalation is an important process necessary for human life. It is associated with the process of breathing, which is fundamental to our body. This is the process where we inhale air through the nose or mouth and then exhale it through the trachea and lungs. Inhalation and exhalation not only provide our body with oxygen, but also affect our emotional state. Disruption of this process can lead to various health problems such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other lung diseases. In this article we will look at the process of inhalation and how it affects our body.
