Describe the process of breathing

1 answer:

Breathing begins with inhalation when the contraction of the diaphragm flattens on contraction, pulling the lungs down. The contraction of these muscles increases the volume of the lungs. This reduces the air pressure in the lung to below that of the external air. This pressure difference forces air to move into the lungs where gas exchange occurs. The relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostals reduces the volume of the lungs, which then increases the air pressure inside the lung to that above the external air. This forces air out of the lungs. The cycle goes on and on. Hope this helped!

Answer: Tragedy of the commons

Explanation: Tragedy of the commons could simply be explained as the potential destruction or abuse of a communal resource which belongs to not one but group of people or a community due to unrestricted or unregulated access afforded to all members. The destruction or damage done is usually due to the self interest of members who are only guided by their own personal pursuit giving little or no regard to shared instruments, products, infrastructures or resources. In other to guard against 'tragedy of the commons' regulations and restrictions should be made to shield or protect shared resources.
