I'm so sorry - I tried to let this slide, but I'm turning back to teacher mode.

Respiration is not to be confused with breathing. Respiration is a chemical reaction within living cells in order to release energy and therefore is the same in all organisms. It is not the processes of in/exhalation or gas exchange. The confusion arises probably because of "artificial respiration" and other misleading use of the term.

I'm sorry

Oh, and ducks don't "blow".. Actually, there's an MP3 of Donald duck being given a...erm.. <ahem> (maybe by Daisy Duck) now I think of it, from an American chat show

Gah - I'll eat my words. Depends on whether the term is being used in a cellular, biochemistry or physiological sense It can therefore be used to describe the entire progress of oxygen from air to cells, where the reaction then takes place.

I saw a duck fall off a roof once, I don't think he blew on the way down.

Ducks are much better when fried to the level of crispy and served with pancakes anyway. I care not a jot whether they can blow or suck!
