I was in a meeting a while back reviewing candidates for a specific position we noticed that âcisgenderâ was an option on the application form. I personally knew one of the applicants and hadnât heard the term cisgender before so I was immediately thinkingâ¦ Iâve never heard her describe herself as that.
Best Answer: Can hold the breath longer with complete inspiration because the lungs will hold oxygenated air and will continue to exchange with blood (give oxygen and take CO2) while you are holding your breath. Hence you can last longer.
When you exhale, you are forcing out the CO2. Why is holding your breath here harder? Because you've lowered your lung volume, the CO2 concentration of your lungs is now higher than your blood. Gasses diffuse from air to blood passively, from areas of high concentration to low.
