You hardly notice your respiratory system at work every minute, day and night, awake or asleep, without fail. From our first breath to our last, breathing is truly essential to life. Come on a captivating odyssey through the wind tunnels of the body and be prepared to be amazed!
What happens when we hold our breath? What powers the over 23,000 breaths each of us takes daily?
