Describe the movement of internal: exchange of gases between blood in systemic
O2 and CO2 in external and capillaries and tissue cells; blood loses O2 and gains CO2
internal respirations and
define
external: exchange of gases between the alveoli of the lungs
and the blood in pulmonary capillaries across the
respiratory membrane; pulmonary capillary blood gains O2
and loses CO2.
Pulmonary Ventilation -breathing
-Inspiration (inhaling) & Expiration (exhaling) of air and involves
the exchange of air between the atmosphere and the alveoli of
the lungs

other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
