Curios About Respiration.

In each respiration an adult Of the
human species inhales one pint of air.
A healthy man will respire 16 to &C
times per minute, or say, 10000 times
a day; child. % to 80 times per min.
ute. While standing, the adult aver
age respiration is % times per min
ute; lying down, Is times. The super.
fetal area of the lungs-that is, of
their alveolar space-averages 200
square yards. The amount of air re.
spired each day is about 10000 quarts.
The amount Of oxygen absorbed in
the same length of time is 500 liters or
about 744 grams. The amount Of car
bonic acid expired in "a hours is esti-
mated at 511.5 grams. Two-thirds of
the oxygen absorbed in "a hours is
taken in during the IL hours from 6
p. m. to a. M. three-fifths of the
total being thrown off during the day.
While this is going on the pulmonary
surface is throwing off $50 grams of
water in the shape of vapor. The
heart sends 800 quarts Of blood
through the lungs every hour. or abou
5000 quarts daily.
