Specific features of breathing in children of a different age

Abstract

Breathing is one of the key functions of the body. Breathing interacts with many body systems and performs many functions outside the absorption of oxygen and the release of CO2. The main functions of the respiratory system include biochemical, biomechanical including secondary and non-respiratory functions of breathing. Thus, the biochemical function of breathing that is controlled by the central nervous system consists in regulating the concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH in blood.
