Precision Breathing

Dr. med. Robert Percy Marshall, Rochelle Fintelman, and Nick Bolhuis

Respiration is an essential part of every living organism. Without respiration, no growth or reproduction of the species would be possible. In the human body it is almost always controlled unconsciously by the autonomic nervous system. In contrast to many other autonomous body functions, we can also consciously control our breathing. One can therefore speak of mixed unconscious-controlled organ activity.
