How breathing works - Nirvair Kaur 

I know how you feel ... it's so irritating when you feel like you are wasting your time in school when you could actually be learning more efficiently. And we spend over 10 years of our lives in school ...

Just came back from a very bad day at school and then went on youtube. Saw this in my sub box. Ironically and funnily enough, I learnt more here than I did in 6 hours of school. Thanks TEDEd, you're way better teachers than the ones at THAT place. Haha.

Thank you Nirvair Kaur, u made it lot more sensible for me...I never understood the reason why yogis do what they do and how to raise body temperature by panting...priceless knowledge shared!!!! thnx

Great video for school projects and science notes. Nice job!

I did not take a single breath without thinking about it this entire video.

I never know that the oxygen supply can affect our health. So it's not just food, exercise, lifestyle, and vitamins that will maintain our health, oxygen as well! Thank you! The topic looks simple and common yet important and illuminating.

The breathing is very import and fascinate.

I found it hard to breathe while watching this video. It's an awesome video, but just the fact that I was thinking about breathing throughout the entire thing made if difficult.

Excellent Video. Thank you for the "new" information to me.

Everything time I watch a video about how my body works, I pay more attention to myself and my health because I understand how fragile it is

This video took my breathe away ;)

Thanks TED, now I will forever think about breathing. 😂😂 this is my third TED video on the same topic in a row today. I learned so much here..❤❤

Thanks for helping me make an edit on breathing and how to breathe ❤

Ted ed is helping me a lot in studies

now i know how to breathe thanks i always struggled

Thank you! I needed this for my Bio test tmrw

I do pay attention, more than anyone else anyway. It's just that in school teachers often purely rely on verbal communication that often cannot be listened to again out of the fear that the teacher will punish you for 'not listening', but with a video with an animation, it's much easier for everybody, you can rewind if you didn't get some bits, and the information is practically spoonfed to you, which is good. Humans only have a 20 minute attention span, whilst a school period takes about 50. :)

Darn it, im breathing manually now

2:03 it's interesting that high stress leads higher toxins, and possibly higher cancer rates 3:10 i think the yogi breathing is also quite interesting

There was no mention of how breathing in (inspiring) occurs because the body's pH increased due to a previous expiration of CO2. After breathing in O2, CO2 concentration increases in the blood (because O2 = final e- acceptor in ETC and CO2 = byproduct) and reacts with H2O to make carbonic acid/H2CO3, etc, thus decreasing the pH, which will cause the medulla oblongata in the brain stem to send excitatory signals to the diaphragm to go from a lowered arc to resting level in order to expire.

I see your point and you're probably getting a lot of hate from this but I wanted to say that I think he is not blaming the teachers directly but merely saying he learned more. I also noted the way he worded it and thought that he could have done so more appropropriatly-XD

We breathe argon in (1% of the atmosphere) and we breathe the same amount out. Therefore, It most likely does not enter the blood stream since there is a steady exchange of the inert gas.

RU-vidrs can choose their own topics, don't have to stick to a curriculum, can take as much time as they want to prepare for a video, any mistakes they make can be corrected so that only the perfect version gets put online, they don't have to deal with disinterested kids and with keeping them silent, and there's no chance of getting fired if they fuck something up. Give your teachers a break.

Very useful video for class 10 cbse

Anulom - Vilom and Kapalbhati explained so well ,

Hello! Is it possible that you add greek subtitles in this video?

I totally understand what you mean bro. We (society) are using methods of the old world to maintain this new more fast paste world. Its like they worked for their time but now that we have better ways of learning and teaching we shouldn't be fighting to maintain the old (proven to be faulty) methods of yester-century. check out this TED talk and good luck in this changing world. PEACE- "Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education"

AMAZING! THANKS!

pressure to move oxygen and nutrients into the blood? first of we don't get any nutrients through inspiration ( unless I am very much mistaken) and the oxygen moves through diffusion, a process that needs no energy. yes pressure is used to get air into the lungxs, but it doesn't get the oxygen into the blood as is suggested here in the video.'More breath equals more oxygen and more nutrients for our cells' 2:54 We do not breathe in protein, we do not breath in vitamins, but this video would suggest that we do.breathing this way is hard as it requires the movement of our diaphragm and intercostal muscles- 4:20. ALL breathing requires the use of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles ( again, unless I have been gravely mislead by all biology textbooks)breathing well helps improve you're immune system? pleas someone explain.all in all, I found this video is actually very misleading.

Awesome.

You are insane creators.

Wrong oxygen does not go into the blood, from the lungs most of the time, how it works is the oxygen creates an electric charge which electrical charges up the oxygen already in the blood. That's how it works so quickly, all the blood gets activated in one go, imagine that.

But now I'm thinking about breathing and when I think about it, I'm force breathing and when I so t think about it I'm fine. But when I think about it, I feel like "am I getting enough air?" It's ruining everything. And ideas?

Thanks for the lesson :-)

yes she did

Actually.....yes. If someone is an angry person in general (as in they're rarely happy and may be depressed), their immune system will be weaker than someone who is generally in a good mood most of the time. Having a weaker immune system can lead to a higher vulnerability to cancerous cells growing within the body (cancerous cells are present in everyone's body, its the job of the immune system to keep them inactive).

Well, you did say "Thanks TEDEd, you're way better teachers than the ones at THAT place.", so there was some blame on the teachers. I can very much understand your frustration with the school system, though. I can also agree that there are indeed some mediocre or horrible teachers. What I can say is, if you want knowledge, you'll get it no matter what.

*Breathe goes in Breathe goes out.. You can't explain that*

Well, these days they make kids have to learn certain things so that everyone is on the same page as every other adult in this world. However, during the last few years of school, the subjects getting taught only tend to stay with kids who would learn it well (Who here knows what a Parabola is?). I go to a technological school. We have subjects like automotive tech or graphical design, classes being taught by people fluent in these fields for half the school day for the last 2 years of school.

I learnt more from TED ED than from anatomy class in school🤣

They said we never think of how we breathe. Yet I searched for how we breathe and found this.

I also have a heart that beats itself..I don't have to think about that either....

Could you imagine how disappointed scientists all over the world would be if it turned out that controlled breathing is what caused us to evolve self-awareness? I mean the evolutionary advantages of controlled breathing have been stated in this video and you need to be aware of your breathing in order to control it, so it's not as outlandish a hypothesis as you might think.

please don`t only focus on highschool education!!!!! help us with that damn krebs cycle or other complicated college stuff autoimmune system would be fun and with lots of animations :)

Lol im just here so i can finish my homework xD

Thanks for the video! Our next lesson in Science is the Respiratory System.

What if I didn't breath during the video.

Manual breathing activated !

well i checked it out nirvair means without an enemy and kaur means princess so she's a princess without an enemy "seems legit"

woo for science

the sound is way to low

You did not teach us HOW to breathe more efficently. You only said _there's a way_.

"...to move oxygen and nutrients into the blood"?!? What "nutrients" enter the blood via the alveoli? Pretty shaky science throughout this.

Thanks for understanding mate. :)

Why should it cover these aspects? The video is about breathing.

this is why bodybuilders should do CARDIo... to get better cardiovascular and respiration system and to use all the nutrt. they have in body... :)

Thinking about breathing makes it hard to breathe

Maybe find a video about sneezing or yawning instead?

I LOVE THE SMELL OF MY FINGERS! I just had to let you know :)

Try closing your mouth more often?

all exercises mentioned are also used in meditation

I think there'd be a lot more good teachers if teachers were paid more.

That's true, but in the end the school system is still much more flawed than actually learning something by yourself. :) And besides, I'm saying that school sucks from MY perspective, and how I was raised, not from anyone else's.

pov: im watching this because i have sci test.

Who’s teacher is putting this in there google classroom

So wouldn't you say that the interest of a child really comes from their parents? Sure teachers can do a lot to further curiosity in students, but your parents have to breed an environment where kids want to learn. Also in my opinion many parents don't know what their doing with their kids.

You are now breathing manually

You know... I was trying to do the little activity that deals with closing one nostril but I have deviated septum 8(

k thats a nice video informing other students but imma do education videos

Wow

Typical TedEd viewer, I try to make a Homer Simpson style comment and someone does some research and replies with a meaningful , informative and intelligent response.

Yes best comment here

My fault that I 'didn't learned' anything in 'the school'? I sense a bit of hypocrisy here... Besides, I wasn't talking about this whole year of school, I was only talking about that particular day, I did listen, I did work and I did do my best. But the situation I'm in is concerning the bullies and annoying kids. I've been bullied countless times over and over. And when I come to class 40% of the time the teachers say what I already know, in the other percentage they just give us written work.

Type of useful

2:41 JJBA fans be like (me included ;-;) THEY MISSED HAMON

I stutter when nervous . This will help me reduce that :)

Watching in 2018 so animation seems a bit weird

I bet that macbook pro comes with a pre-installed trojan!

Did not cover: SNEEZING, YAWNING, COUGHING, 'DROWNING' (many types). Dogs, cats do all of the above too.

So what your saying is...Getting mad can cause CANCER?!?!?!??!

i dropped a 75 pound block of metal on my foot at school today so i know how you feel

school-six cruel hours of our lifes

No, because running (unlike emotional stress) strengthens your heart-stronger heart = more oxygen pumped in the future.

"you are no breathing manually" for about 5 minutes...

Very Good informative video, , thanks for sharing; Jesus Christ Bless! :)

YOU SOULD ALWAYS BREATH TROUGH YOUR NOSE if not its actually harmful to your lungs and to your amount of oxygen you can take in one breathe. even when doing sports !

lol, the narrator's name is nirvAIR!!!

2018 anyone?

me2

I don't know about you but on difficult days I'm not being chased by giant monstrous lizards

Dogs are trying to cool off because they can't sweat not because they want to look cool. -.-'

Who is from Calorx Olive school

I'm only grade 5-

Who is now controlling their breathing while watching this?

Anyone here in 2021?

немножечко по английски

Jiii

I'm not putting the blame directly on the teachers, I'm merely blaming the school system for being inefficient, and the pupils of course. Some kids are just careless, some are aggressive, some are just not interested and don't pay attention, I on the other hand, do. And of course (even though there are some amazing teachers) most teachers are mediocre, but only a minority are horrible.
