Activity
1. Make a report of the breathing rate of your family members by answering the following questions:
a. Is the breathing rate of children and adults the same?
b. Is the breathing rate of males and females the same?
c. Is the breathing rate of children the same while sleeping and after running?
Answers
Explanation:
A) Answer.
Breathing rates in resting adults can range from 10-15 times per minute. Some adults breathe less and some more depending on their general health and activity levels. Children's breathing is much quicker because they have little space to exchange the oxygen and carbon dioxide in their lungs.

Respiratory rates change based on many health and activity factors. Normal respiratory rates also differ in adults and children.
The respiratory rate is the number of breaths someone takes every minute and is one of the main vital signs, along with blood pressure, pulse, and temperature.
When a person inhales, oxygen enters their lungs and travels to the organs. When they exhale, carbon dioxide leaves the body. A normal respiratory rate plays a critical role in keeping the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide even.
