...
Felines have a right lung and left lung which are further divided into lobes
...
Bronchioles
eventually end in small structures called ‘alveoli’; these are microscopic
...
Blood makes contact within individual cells within the ‘Alveoli’
which is based in the lungs; and an exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide happens
...
Felines are unable to sweat as they do not have many sweat glands (the only sweat glands
they have are on their feet) which means they cannot sweat to lower their body’s temperature so to cool
themselves down they breathe much harder also known as panting; this quickens the exchange of warm air
from the body for the cooler outside air
...
The specific breathing process of a feline starts with the feline inhaling fresh air via the nose or mouth, which
then travels through the pharynx and the larynx to the trachea
...
The exchanging of air occurs within the alveoli and the used air
travels on an opposite path going through the bronchi, trachea, larynx and pharynx and leaving through the
nose or mouth
...
Separating the chest (containing the heart and lungs) and the abdomen (containing the
intestines, stomach, liver, bladder etc
...
For the feline to inhale, the diaphragm
muscle creates a negative pressure which in turns pulls oxygen and fresh air into the lungs
...
The lungs compress and exhale air out of the body when the diaphragm muscle moves forward
getting rid of used air
...
Fine hairs called Cilia lining the nasal cavity and mucus produced by the cells within the nasal cavity
get rid of debris and foreign matter before air enters the body; these hairs also exist in the trachea
...
Before air enters the trachea; the nasal cavity warms and moistens the incoming air
...
The air passing
through here is very close to the tonsils; with the tonsils working as part of the immunologic system, it
can activate defence mechanisms if infectious or foreign materials are found en-route
...
The larynx holds vocal cords responsible for vocalization such as purring and meowing
...
The larynx regulates the inhalation and expiration of air as well as guarding the entrance to the
trachea
