Pathway/Anatomy of exhalation

 * Physiology of gas exchange
 * Gases of exhaled breath
 * O2 into blood, CO2 into lungs

Dead space/residual volume

 * Anatomical
 * Physiological

Spirometry

 * Compare
 * Healthy
 * Asthma
 * COPD/Smoker

Volume and Involuntary breathing

 * CO2 in blood
 * Coughing/Sneezing

Voice Production

 * Speaking
 * Controlled exhalation
