Wikipedia

Exhalation

Exhalation (or expiration) is the flow of the breath out of an organism. In animals, it is the movement of air from the lungs out of the airways, to the external environment during breathing. This happens due to elastic properties of the lungs, as well as the internal intercostal muscles which lower the rib cage and decrease thoracic volume. As the thoracic diaphragm relaxes during exhalation it causes the tissue it has depressed to rise superiorly and put pressure on the lungs to expel the air. During forced exhalation, as when blowing out a candle, expiratory muscles including the abdominal muscles and internal intercostal muscles generate abdominal and thoracic pressure, which forces air out of the lungs.

Exhaled air is 4% carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration during the production of energy, which is stored as ATP. Exhalation has a complementary relationship to inhalation which together make up the respiratory cycle of a breath.

Examples of use of exhalation

1. What‘s going on?‘ " With a vast exhalation of dust, the "35W," as it is called here, was collapsing into the Mississippi River.

2. Popocatepetl, whose name means "smoking mountain" in the Nahuatl Indian language spoken by the Aztecs, spewed out the huge plume of ash and rocks in a three–minute exhalation.

3. Miss Pniewska replied: "Hold on a second." After a short interval and a further single shot, Mrs Luby heard "a delicate, quiet moan or exhalation of breath and the sound of falling or rustling bags". Miss Pniewska‘s phone crashed to the floor as she tumbled down the stairs, but it remained connected to her sister.

4. The air was so sweet in New Orleans, wrote Jack Kerouac (once the Benzedrine had worn off). You could smell the river, and every kind of tropical exhalation with your nose suddenly removed from the dry ices of a Northern winter.

5. Visitors are first given an introduction to the Zazen posture –a yoga–like seating position– and then taught to concentrate on the rhythm of their own breathing by synchronizing inhalation and exhalation with the movement of an animated candle flame. (Those with older processors or modems may not wish to adhere absolutely to these instructions, as an especially slow–running animation might result in feeling a bit light–headed.) Having brought its guests to a preliminary state of peace (though the exercise does end rather abruptly if you‘re in the moment), Zen goes on to explain that a relaxed attitude may open practitioners to experiencing such sensations as the sounds that are normally ignored in daily life.
