The reason for breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth

Question

The reason for breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth

In: Biology

Answer 1

breathing through the nose has several benefits:

* allows you to use your mouth/teeth as a weapon while breathing
* filters air impurities by passing it through nose’s hair and mucous
* warms cold air so it does not damages respiratory system.

Breathing though the mouth has some benefits:

* allows you a higher air intake. (have you seen 100m olimpiad runners? they breath exclusively through the mouth.) higher air intake = more oxygen = more burst energy. allows you to catch prey/run from predators better.

* having a secondary breathing method allows you to breath when your nose is constipated due to a momentary illness.
