Observation #7 : Max. Air going to lungs
As observed, In the voluntary breathing, 80% of the air intake now seems to go directly to lungs. The only amount of Air going towards stomach is the one which enters to cover the existing space in stomach.
Though with further practice this air flow towards stomach may further get reduced.
This may be mainly due to the slow breathing practiced while doing pranayama.
Also,
A little study has made me understand how slow and prolonged breathing will increase the lung capacity over rushed and bulk breath intake
Lungs comprise of very fine network of small alveoli. the Air Reaches at these which are sorrounded by pulminary capillaries which have the blood flowing, it is at this juncture that the exchange of gases take place on principles of diffusion. Oxygen gets diffused into blood and carbon dioxide moves in opposite direction from blood capillaries to alveoli.
the Larger the surface area for this activity to take place, the more effective will be the process.
Now considering this process, It will be more affective absorption of air into this surface if the flow is slow and prolonged rather than a burst of air coming in at one instance.
We may have more area of alveolis filled with air if the inflow of breath is slow and prolonged (as it will keep filling smaller pockets rather than a burst of air ( Chances of the burst damaging the smaller pockets rather than filling it)
Still Have not understood the sync which exists with the pace of breathing and the pulse at which the blood flows inprocess absorbing the pure oxygen and giving out impure air in lungs.
Normally We breathe about 12-14 breaths a minute and the blood runs about 75-80 pulses a minute
It remains to be understood how this is sync with each other.
Next point of Study..
