RESPIRE - 2 reference results
In biochemistry, respiration may refer to:
- Cellular respiration, the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes
- Aerobic respiration, a process that allows respiration with use of oxygen
- Anaerobic respiration, a process that allows respiration without use of oxygen
- Plant respiration, the enzymatic oxidation of substrates in plants, leading to the release of carbon dioxide respiration.
In physiology, respiration may refer to :
- Respiration (physiology), the process by which multicellular organisms capture and excrete the gaseous fuel and waste of cellular respiration, absorbing oxygen and disposing of carbon dioxide.
- Aquatic respiration, the process whereby an aquatic animal obtains oxygen from water
- External respiration, the process by which gases are exchanged between the atmosphere and the pulmonary loop of circulation
- Muscles of respiration
- Respiratory system of humans and other mammals
- Respiratory tract in humans is the part of the anatomy that has to do with the process of (physiological) respiration
- Respiratory rate
- Agonal respiration
- Apneustic respirations
- Cheyne-Stokes respiration
- Biot's respiration
- Respiratory arrest, the cessation of the normal tidal flow of the lungs due to paralysis of the diaphragm
- Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate to perform needed gas exchange
- Inspiratory paroxysmal respiration (also known as "reverse sneezing"), a phenomenon observed in dogs (Especially small dogs)
Medical devices involving respiration include:
- Respiratory therapy or Inhalation therapy, the assessment and treatment of respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies
- Artificial respiration
- Respirator
Other uses include:
- Carbon respiration, a phrase used in combination with carbon storage to calculate the amount of carbon (as CO2) flux occurring in the atmosphere through the various processes that add and subtract atmospheric carbon
- Respiration rate, a parameter which is used in ecological and agronomical modelling
- "Respire" (Mickey 3D song), a 2003 song by Mickey 3D
