Difference between Asphyxia and Breathing

Asphyxia vs. Breathing

Asphyxia or asphyxiation is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from abnormal breathing. Breathing (or respiration, or ventilation) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide.

Similarities between Asphyxia and Breathing

Asphyxia and Breathing have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asthma, Circulatory system, Hyperventilation, Hypoxia (medical), Oxygen, Sleep apnea.

Asthma

Asthma is a common long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.

Circulatory system

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

Hyperventilation

Hyperventilation (a.k.a. overbreathing) occurs when the rate or tidal volume of breathing eliminates more carbon dioxide than the body can produce.

Hypoxia (medical)

Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level.

Asphyxia and Breathing Comparison

Asphyxia has 79 relations, while Breathing has 159. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 2.52% = 6 / (79 + 159).
