AI overview

Breathing is the rhythmic process of moving air in and out of your lungs, which allows your body to take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide through gas exchange. This process is essential for your body to function, as it continuously replenishes the oxygen your cells need while eliminating waste carbon dioxide.
