Pulmonary Ventilation

- Moving air into and out of the lungs - aka breathing


- During inspiration and expiration, so that gases there are continuously changed and refreshed


- Requires energy, ATP

External Respiration

- Gas exchange/ diffusion between the lungs and the blood


- Includes transport of oxygen to tissues and carbon dioxide to lungs

Internal Respiration

- Gas exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues


- Diffusion of oxygen to tissue cells, carbon dioxide to blood

3 Processes of Respiration (TEST QUESTION)




and the 2 Processes the Respiratory SYSTEM is responsible for

Respiratory Zone

- Site of gas exchange (inside the lungs)


- Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli

Conducting Zone
