Q

The process of gas exchange

A

Blood returning from cells in body is high and carbon dioxide, then flows through the blood vessels. External respiration occurs oxygen in air inside alveoli diffuses in blood carbon dioxide diffuses out to alveoli.

Q

Compare pulmonary ventilation, and cellular rest

A

Pulmonary ventilation is the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide controlled by the diaphragm

Cellular respiration where oxygen is produced by the mitochondria and carbon dioxide becomes the byproduct

Describe pulmonary ventilation

A

Diaphragm contracts rib cage rises, chest cavity expand because lungs are sealed it causes a vacuum effect during inhalation

Exhale diaphragm relaxes, pushing air out
