    ISSN 2581 – 4346 Available Online at www.ijms.co.in Innovative Journal of Medical Sciences 2019; 3(4):13-16 RESEARCH ARTICLE Reverberation of respiratory rate on noodle delineation Muhammad Imran Qadir, Mehwish Sultana* Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan Received on: 30 August 2019; Revised on: 20 September 2019; Accepted on: 27 October 2019 ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to correlated breathing rate with the likeliness of eating noodles. Breathing is a normal process in all living organisms. Different organisms have different methods of breathing. The normal breathing rate is 15–20/min. The increase in breath rate causes different disorders. The breathing rate is also called respiratory rate. The normal breathing rate for an infant is 44 breaths/min. Lungs play an important role in breathing. Breathing is most important factor in human life. The breathing rate changes when we walk, run, speech, and laugh. The intake of air during breathing is called inspiration and the air comes out of our lungs is called expiration. The breathing rate is also disturbed by increase of blood pressure.
