    There was no mention of how breathing in (inspiring) occurs because the body's pH increased due to a previous expiration of CO2. After breathing in O2, CO2 concentration increases in the blood (because O2 = final e- acceptor in ETC and CO2 = byproduct) and reacts with H2O to make carbonic acid/H2CO3, etc, thus decreasing the pH, which will cause the medulla oblongata in the brain stem to send excitatory signals to the diaphragm to go from a lowered arc to resting level in order to expire.

    I do pay attention, more than anyone else anyway. It's just that in school teachers often purely rely on verbal communication that often cannot be listened to again out of the fear that the teacher will punish you for 'not listening', but with a video with an animation, it's much easier for everybody, you can rewind if you didn't get some bits, and the information is practically spoonfed to you, which is good. Humans only have a 20 minute attention span, whilst a school period takes about 50. :)

    Well, these days they make kids have to learn certain things so that everyone is on the same page as every other adult in this world. However, during the last few years of school, the subjects getting taught only tend to stay with kids who would learn it well (Who here knows what a Parabola is?). I go to a technological school. We have subjects like automotive tech or graphical design, classes being taught by people fluent in these fields for half the school day for the last 2 years of school.

Give your teachers a break.

    pressure to move oxygen and nutrients into the blood? first of we don't get any nutrients through inspiration ( unless I am very much mistaken) and the oxygen moves through diffusion, a process that needs no energy. yes pressure is used to get air into the lungxs, but it doesn't get the oxygen into the blood as is suggested here in the video.'More breath equals more oxygen and more nutrients for our cells' 2:54 We do not breathe in protein, we do not breath in vitamins, but this video would suggest that we do.breathing this way is hard as it requires the movement of our diaphragm and intercostal muscles- 4:20. ALL breathing requires the use of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles ( again, unless I have been gravely mislead by all biology textbooks)breathing well helps improve you're immune system? pleas someone explain.all in all, I found this video is actually very misleading.

    Actually.....yes. If someone is an angry person in general (as in they're rarely happy and may be depressed), their immune system will be weaker than someone who is generally in a good mood most of the time. Having a weaker immune system can lead to a higher vulnerability to cancerous cells growing within the body (cancerous cells are present in everyone's body, its the job of the immune system to keep them inactive).

    Could you imagine how disappointed scientists all over the world would be if it turned out that controlled breathing is what caused us to evolve self-awareness? I mean the evolutionary advantages of controlled breathing have been stated in this video and you need to be aware of your breathing in order to control it, so it's not as outlandish a hypothesis as you might think.

  • @ScornMuffins

    10 жыл бұрын

    ***** Well the first step towards self-awareness would have to be something that we could do without being self-aware, but where self awareness would help. Controlling our breath requires a very basic level of self-awareness in that you need to know what your breathing is currently like in order to change it. This would have an advantage in hunting, for example holding your breath while stalking and making your breath slower and deeper when chasing prey over long distances. It would be the first step and a very primitive form of self-awareness, but everything has to start somewhere. It's also noteworthy that other animals that control their breath are the smarter species of monkeys and primates, smarter breeds of dogs, dolphins and elephants. All of these are animals that are considered to be self aware and as far as we know no purely instinctual animal can control its breath.

    Wrong oxygen does not go into the blood, from the lungs most of the time, how it works is the oxygen creates an electric charge which electrical charges up the oxygen already in the blood. That's how it works so quickly, all the blood gets activated in one go, imagine that.

But the situation I'm in is concerning the bullies and annoying kids. I've been bullied countless times over and over. And when I come to class 40% of the time the teachers say what I already know, in the other percentage they just give us written work.
