Показать описание

Oxygen forms about 21% of the air around us. In your body, oxygen forms a vital role in the production of energy in most cells. But if gases can only efficiently diffuse across tiny distances, how does oxygen reach the cells deep inside your body? Enda Butler tracks the surprisingly complex journey of oxygen through your body.

Lesson by Enda Butler, animation by Compote Collective.

Please don't smoke. Look how much effort your body is putting into taking care of you! Why would you sabotage it by replacing the oxygen with carbon monoxide?

Videos like this remind me of why I became a biology major. I think it's simply amazing the things our human bodies can do.

This is more useful than 10 months of school. I just watched a 5 minute video and i learned even more?

This is just incredible (for non medicine students like me)... The complexity of the bodies that genes have created as their survival machines. Keep it up TED-Ed, always bringing us super interesting stuff, thanks!

I did three really important things for my lungs and oxygen delivery for disease prevention and overall wellness:

- I stopped chronically breathing through my mouth...big no-no. The mouth is NOT for breathing! The nose is on the front line of our immune system plus nitric oxide opens up airways and blood vessels

- I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser for inhalation and exhalation breathing therapy. No more asthma.

- and I sleep with a small piece of tape over my lips to keep my mouth closed during sleep...stops snoring, apnea, dry mouth and more

My chronic fatigue and asthma both are gone now and my outlook on life is exceptional because I’m sleeping better and have more energy. I’m 54.
