Work of breathing When there is increased gas flow resistance, the optimal respiratory rate decreases. This work (generally during the inhalation phase) is stored as potential energy which is recovered during exhalation. A pressure difference is required to overcome the frictional resistance to gas flow due to viscosity, and to provide non-elastic components of movement of the airway tissues to accommodate pulmonary volume change. Total work done against non elastic forces is 35% of total. Work is defined as a force applied over a distance. The SI unit of work is the Joule, equivalent to a force of 1 Newton exerted along a
Modern Love Is Automatic Modern Love Is Automatic "Modern Love is Automatic" is a 1982 song by the group A Flock of Seagulls, written by Mike Score, Ali Score, Frank Maudsley and Paul Reynolds, and first showcased on the album of the same name.
