Anatomy and physiology of the horse

the mental abilities of the horse are well developed. The body temperature of a healthy animal is higher than human: from 37.5 to 38.5 ° C, and the volume of the lungs reaches 50 liters. The respiratory rate of a horse at rest is 8-16 breaths per minute, but during a race it can increase by 7 times. The pulse in this case also increases, but not so much. At rest, it is lower than human - 30-40 beats per minute, and during the jump - 120 - 130 beats per minute. Horses are not afraid of such differences.
