Breathtaking Respiratory System

About this book

  • An elementary-level exploration of the human body’s respiratory system, focused on structures, function, diseases, and God’s wonderful designs
  • Fast facts and important discoveries that help medical professionals understand the mechanisms of our lungs, sinus cavities, and diaphragm
  • Find out why the common cold isn’t so common after all. Hundreds of viruses can cause the over 1 billion cases of the “common’” cold each year!

With a loud piercing wail, most of us entered this world as a crying baby taking in our first big breath of air. Breathe in. Breathe out. 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? The surface area of the alveoli in your lungs alone could cover the surface of an entire tennis court! Breeze in and learn more about these and the other incredible examples in the God’s Wondrous Machine series with The Breathtaking Respiratory System.
