In this question we're going to be applying boyle's law into a natural occurring phenomenon of breathing.
00:11
So according to boyle, when it comes to gases, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
00:20
What this is saying is if you increase the volume of acres, you are reducing its pressure.
00:26
And if you increase the pressure, you are reducing the volume.
00:30
Now applying this to the breathing exercise, what happens when we are breathing is say we've got our lungs here, this is the lung.
00:39
If we breathe in, if we are breathing in, we expand the chest cavity.
00:46
That is we're expanding the lungs.
00:49
In essence, in terms of pressure and volume, what's happening is if we are expanding the lungs, it means their volume is increasing.
00:57
So in accordance to boil slow, if we increase the lungs, if we increase the lungs, volume it means the pressure inside the lungs it decreases because of this increase in volume so remember gases naturally flow from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure so now that there is low pressure in the lungs it forces air from the atmosphere to flow into a region of low pressure that is the lungs so this is while we breathe in and how this phenomenon manner is facilitated...
