Ben walks to college every day. While participating in a race, he observes that his breathing rate is higher than his breathing rate when he walks. He also notices that his breathing rate is lower 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.
