Visualization of the Pulmonary System Revealed - The lungs, bronchial tree and pulmonary vessels are showcased in this detailed representation. Healthy adults at rest breathe at a typical rate of 12 to 18 breaths per minute. The respiratory center sets a calm breathing pattern, with inhalation lasting approximately two seconds and exhalation lasting around three seconds, resulting in an average rate of 12 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates vary by age: infants from birth to six weeks breathe at a rate of 30 to 40 breaths per minute; those aged six months breathe at a rate of 25 to 40 breaths per minute; children three years old breathe at a rate of 20 to 30 breaths per minute; and children six years old breathe at a rate of 18 to 25 breaths per minute. For ten-year-olds, the average resting respiratory rate is 17 to 23 breaths per minute. Adults breathe at an average rate of 12 to 18 breaths per minute, while elderly individuals aged 65 or older typically breathe at a rate of 12 to 28 breaths per minute. Those over 80 years old tend to breathe at an even slower pace, with rates ranging from 10 to 30 breaths per minute.
