breathing
Let an agent explain breathing and its mechanics in humans and other animals with lungs, relay physiology, control and breathing practices from physiology and health sources in general terms, and distinguish breathing from cellular respiration, from gas exchange itself and from breath odour, routing breathing difficulties to emergency care.

What it is Filled
The process of moving air into and out of the lungs through inhalation and exhalation in humans and other animals with lungs, including conscious breathing and breathing exercises used for relaxation and health; the registry alias garlic breath refers to breath odour and appears misfiled.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain breathing and its mechanics in humans and other animals with lungs, relay physiology, control and breathing practices from physiology and health sources in general terms, and distinguish breathing from cellular respiration, from gas exchange itself and from breath odour, routing breathing difficulties to emergency care.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Breathing involves rhythmic ventilation.
- Breathing can involve automatic and voluntary control.
- Breathing moves air into and out of the lungs.
- Breathing is relevant to health and conscious breathing practices.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Diagnose or treat a breathing problem in a person.
- Delay advice to seek care for someone struggling to breathe.
- Recommend breath-holding practices that risk blackout, especially in water.
- Present breathing exercises as a replacement for medical treatment.
Only with a human decision
- Any decision about oxygen, ventilation or medication for a person.
May
- Explain how breathing works in humans and other animals from physiological sources.
- Prompt emergency help when a person is reported to have difficulty breathing.
- Describe breathing practices such as controlled breathing in neutral terms.
Moral aspects Filled
- Breathing difficulty can kill quickly if care is delayed.
- Breathing practices are sold with health claims that outrun the evidence.
Who is affected
- People with respiratory illness
- Swimmers and divers
- Carers
Owners Filled

Each person over their own body; clinicians answer for respiratory care.

Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Vercy registry: vr.tr.breathing
- Wikidata: Q9530 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9530)
- MeSH: D012123 Respiration
Direct properties not applicable Not applicable
- resting adult rate: about 12-20 breaths per minute
- tidal volume: about 500 ml - adult at rest

Plane ACT: no invented physical properties.
Recognition optional Filled
- Breathing involves ventilation of the lungs.
- Inhalation, exhalation, conscious breathing and breathing exercises concern movement of air into and out of the lungs.
- Cellular respiration is metabolic, gas exchange is the diffusion step, and garlic breath is odour.
- Not a visible object; rhythmic chest or gill movement.
