The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into
the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified
air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical
Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration (= OXYGEN CONSUMPTION)
or cell respiration (= CELL RESPIRATION)
Note générale sur le champ d'application :
lung only: does not refer to tissue respiration (= probably OXYGEN CONSUMPTION); CELL
RESPIRATION is also available
