CHORUS: (x2)
Check it! Respire! Don’t expire
It’s somethin’ we require instead of being a desire
And yeah! It’s the same gas that causes a fire…
…oxygen (Echoes) and I ain’t a liar…
RAMARAJ:
Ever wondered why, sometimes when we try
To run the race, but we get tired inside
True, there are some who can run the whole mile
But in the end, they can’t even keep a straight smile
They’re breathing harder, they’re gasping for air
Trying to get the oxygen floating in there
Sometimes, this oxygen just isn’t enough
And that’s where we get this tiring stuff
Called lactic acid, no, it’s not fantastic
It’s like plastic but it’s ever more drastic
It’s easy to make, like a piece of cake
But, disposing it causes a real big headache
It takes a machine to overcome its effects
Draining all our energy and causing defects
In our skill, stamina and performance overall
But hey, I guess, that’s what makes us human after all!
CHORUS: (x2)
Check it! Respire! Don’t expire
It’s somethin’ we require instead of being a desire
And yeah! It’s the same gas that causes a fire…
…oxygen (Echoes) and I ain’t a liar…
A.RON:
It’s like; when we breathe…we inhale and exhale
During inhalation, the muscles follow a different trail
External intercostal muscles & diaphragm muscles will contract
Causing the diaphragm to lower, becoming flat
The rib cage will move upwards and outwards with a force
The volume of thoracic cavity increases with cause
The pressure, however, will definitely decrease
Thus, air will flow to the inside with ease
During exhalation, the same muscles move…
But, with a different flow and different groove
The internal intercostal muscles will contract
Allowing the diaphragm muscles, to relax
The rib cage will move downwards and inwards in room
Thoracic cavity will also decrease in volume
The pressure however, will increase with no doubt
Thus, air will flow from the inside out!
CHORUS: (x2)
Check it! Respire! Don’t expire
It’s somethin’ we require instead of being a desire
And yeah! It’s the same gas that causes a fire…
…oxygen (Echoes) and I ain’t a liar…
CCW:
We need O2 to breathe and stay alive
Exhale CO2 and vapour to be able to survive
But hold, what transports them to and fro?
Biconcave red blood cells that go with the flow
So now, two main veins and arteries
Pulmonary, aorta and don't forget vena cava
Important they are, we have two circulatory systems
Don't forget them, they are there for a reason
Pulmonary and systemic, wait it's not systematic
Don't get confused, it doesn't make teacher amused
Mix in the hepatic, no, it’s not pathetic
Plus the cardiac, and everything’s just fantastic
It might be convoluted or even complicated
Diagrams might help to get us through
So roses are red and violets are blue
Oxygenated is red so I guess deox is blue!
CHORUS: (x2)
Check it! Respire! Don’t expire
It’s somethin’ we require instead of being a desire
And yeah! It’s the same gas that causes a fire…
