(Like I do in the last post, I will post the reference)
1. The right lung is slightly larger than the left. 👃🏼
2. Hairs in the nose help to clean the air we breathe as well as warming it. 👀
3. The highest recorded "sneeze speed" is 165 km per hour. 😮
4. The surface area of the lungs is roughly the same size as a tennis court. 🎾
5. The capillaries in the lungs would extend 1,600 kilometres if placed end to end. 😮
6. We lose half a litre of water a day through breathing. This is the water vapour we see when we breathe onto glass. 😨💦
7. A person at rest usually breathes between 12 and 15 times a minute. 💨💨💨
8. The breathing rate is faster in children and women than in men. 💨👱🏼👩🏽👦🏽
