Is it possible to breathe in and out at the same time? If so, how?

Yes, it is called "circular" breathing, and some musicians use it on wind instruments. They breathe in through their nose while breathing out through their mouth. "Kenny G" and others have used this technique to hold a note for a very long time.

No, not really. Not in the true sense of breathing air in and out of the *lungs*. Circular breathing uses the cheeks like a bellow or air sack by puffing them with inhaled air from the lungs when the lungs are almost empty. Then, when breath is almost gone (say to sustain a note) the cheek muscles are squeezed to expel the small quantity of air (into the instrument) while breathing in through the nose and resuming exhaling from the lungs. With circular breathing you aren't breathing out from the lungs, just releasing air trapped in the cheeks.

no, breathing is created by your diaphragam, the muscle that when hit will expell all the air out of your lungs. it cant move both up and down at the same time so no it isnt possible with the lungs.

Jargon has to do with specialized language and terms. I don't think this is in the right category precisely. About that circular breathing, I did not know that. Very interesting. I thought I had heard that long notes can be held by forcing air into the stomach and then expelling it in a controlled manner. Sounds uncomfortable.

Yes. But you wouldn't want to. Its called a left or right hemo-pnuemo thorax, and is when the lung is actually pierced, as in an accident. Thus when the patient inhales, the undamaged lung fills with air, but the damaged one leaks (obviously) around the injury. Unfortunately, at the same time, the point of injury has caused severing of thousands of capillaries, hundreds of veins, and perhaps even an artery or two. So our patient is also in danger due to the damaged lobe filling up with fluids- blood, plasma, lymphatic, inter-tissue, etc.- so the volume able to be drawn into the damaged one is less and less with each passing moment. The two situations you mention occur simultaneously along with a third, and is sometimes evident by a bubbling and gurgling at the wound site.

No. You only have one trachea, one diaphragm, and one set of lungs that all work together at the same time. However, the technique of "circular breathing" can achieve an effect mimicking a simultaneous exhale and inhale. When you breathe in, you puff out your cheeks. Then you exhale, but still keep the air in your cheeks. When you run out of hair to exhale, use the muscles in your cheeks to squeeze out the air while simultaneously inhaling through your nose. It takes extreme coordination, and it's exhausting to do for long periods of time. Good luck!
