Answer» ANSWER :(a) The breathing cycle involves inhalation and exhalation of air due to alternate expansion and contraction of thoracic cavity. THUS it is a rhythmic process. But exchange of gasesis a CONTINUOUS process as it takes place between the blood and each and every cell, by diffusion. (b) The circulatory system will become INEFFICIENT if it develops a LEAK.
