|
Name and define the four processes of respiration ?
|
Ventilation-breathing
External respiration- as you're breathing in-level of the lungs Transport of O2 & CO2 thru body via cardiovascular sys Internal respiration (cellular)-once blood has brought oxygen to body cells, tissues recieve oxygen & get rid of carbon dioxide |
|
Where does the exchange of gas take place?
|
alveoli & blood capillaries
|
|
What is respiration and what does it equal?
|
the process of inhalation & exhilation= breathing
|
|
What is inhalation & exhalation is a part of?
|
External Respiration
|
|
Where and how does external respiration occur?
|
Occurs at alveoli & blood level
Inhalation= air brings oxygen to the alveoli - oxygen picked up by bloodstream Exhalation= carbon dioxide removed from blood - into alveoli -and is exhaled |
|
Where and how does internal respiration occur?
|
Occurs at body cells & blood
oxygen rich blood travels to every cell - deposits oxygen - picks up carbon dioxide from cells - transports back to the lungs - removes from the body |
|
What is Internal Respiration also known as?
|
Cellular respiration
|
