Inhale and Exhale

I've been dared to write a blog post about breathing.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale. Exhale.

The average adult male lung capacity is 6 liters. The average adult female lung capacity is 4.2 liters.

Inhale. Exhale.

I've dissected fetal pig and sheep lungs. Someday, someone will dissect my lungs. Cool.

Inhale. Exhale.

Did you know that when a nurse or other medical caregiver takes your blood pressure, they're probably counting your breaths too? Since I became a CNA, I don't think I've given an accurate respiratory rate at the doctor's office.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale. Exhale.
