Inspirez… ! Expirez… ! La respiration est notre réflexe le plus naturel. Chaque jour, nous consommons des centaines de litres d'oxygène sans le moindre effort et sans jamais y penser. Et pourtant, respirer n'est pas si simple que ça en a l'air. Sabine, Fred et Jamy partent au service radiologique de l'Hôtel Dieu pour faire subir à leurs poumons toutes sortes de tests à couper le souffle ! Par l'imagerie médicale, ils nous font découvrir que nos poumons ne sont pas de simples poches mais d'immenses surfaces d'échanges gazeux où se cachent des millions d'alvéoles. Que trouve-t-on d'indispensable dans l'air que l'on respire ? Diaphragme, cœur, épiglotte, plèvre ou bronches… quel rôle jouent tous ces rouages dans la grande machine de notre système respiratoire ? Et quand on est essoufflés, est-ce la faute de nos poumons ? Comment la fumée de cigarette détruit-elle nos alvéoles pulmonaires ?
