ui ui ui ui ui ui ui ui ui ui ui ui ui
n. Since the question asks for the body’s mechanism, this would b

e spontaneous ventilation. External respiration involves the excha

nge of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli a

nd the pulmonary capillaries. Internal respiration occurs at the cel

lular level and involves movement of oxygen from the systemic blo
