In this article we will discuss about the regulation of respiration in humans. Oxygen requirement by the body differs depending on the activity. It is lowest at rest and increases during routine activity and further increases in muscular exercise. Similarly production of carbon dioxide also is dependent on the rate of metabolic activity in the body. Respiratory system has the [...]
