What physical and chemical processes are the basis for breathing?

The work of external respiration (lungs, chest, pleural cavities) works on the basis of a pressure difference, negative pressure in the pleural cavity forms a certain gradient, and air rushes, during inhalation, into the lungs. Exhalation occurs passively due to the elastic traction of the lungs and chest. Tissue respiration is based on redox processes between oxygen, carbon dioxide and ferrous iron.
