commonly referred to as ventilation or breathing refers to he gas exchange that occurs between the alveoli and or cells and capillaries, or to the utilization of glucose and oxygen during normal metabolism with the cells
respiration
is the mechanical process of moving air in and out of the lungs
pulmonary ventilation
this is the gas exchange process that occurs between the alveloli and surrounding pulmonary capillaries also serves to oxygenate the blood and eliminate carbon dioxide in the lungs
external rspiration
this exchange occurs between the cells in the systemic capillaries, responsible for delivering oxygen to the cells and removing carbon dioxide from the cell
internal respiration
this is known as aerobic etabolism occurs in the cll, the process breaks down glucose in the presence of oxygen, produces high amounts of energy in the form of ATP and releases carbon dioxde and water as a by product
