respiration
utilization of oxygen by an organism
external respiration
the entrance of air into the lungs, gas exchange between aveoli and blood
internal respiration
exchange of gas between blood and cells, intracellular process of respiration (oxidation)
respiration in protozoa and cnidarians
all cells are in direct contact with the external water environment, respiratory gases are exchanged by simple diffusion through the cell membrane
respiration in annelids
gas exchange through mucous covered skin bu diffusion. circulatory system brings oxygen to the cells and CO2 back to the skin
respiration in arthropods
respiratory tubules called tracheae have branches that reach almost every cell in the body. the tracheae access the surface by openings called spiracles. This allows intake, distribution, and removal of respiratory gases directly between the air and body cells by diffusion.
air pathway of human external respiration
nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
where does gas exchange between the lungs and blood?
alveoli
ventilation
process of breathing, inhalation and exhalation, takes in O2 from the atmosphere and eliminates CO2 from the body
process of inhalation
diaphragm contracts, external intercostal muscles contract, rib cage is pushed up and out. thoracic cavity increases in volume, reducing pressure in lungs, causing air to fill them
process of exhalation
generally passive, diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax, lungs and chest wall recoil to original positions pushing inward. decreases thoracic cavity volume, lung air pressure increases, forces air out and lungs deflate
regulation of ventilation
respiratory cents in medulla oblongata

if partial pressure of CO2 rises in body, medulla stimulates an increase in ventilation rate
pulmonary capillaries
network of blood vessels that surround alveoli

gases are exchanged by diffusion through the capillary walls and alveoli walls
