Ben walks to college every day. While participating in a race, he observes that his breathing rate is <u>higher</u> than his breathing rate when he walks. He also notices that his breathing rate is <u>lower</u> when he lies down.
In this statement, the term "breathing" refers to the gaseous exchange that occurs during inhalation, where CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is released, and exhalation, where O₂ (oxygen) is taken in. The process through which cells produce energy is referred to as "respiration".
Breathing is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which ensures a synthesis between the actions of the sympathetic system by accelerating the respiratory rate and reducing amplitude, as in Ben's case when participating in a race. Meanwhile, the parasympathetic system is slowing down the respiratory rhythm and increasing amplitude, as in Ben's case when he is lying down.
