r6 r6 r 6 r6 r 6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6


lungsi s known as which of the following?
r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6



a. External respiration r6

ANS: C r6


The conduction of air in and out of the body is known as ventilation
r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6


. Since the question asks for the body’s mechanism, this would be
r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6


spontaneous ventilation. External respiration involves the
r 6 r 6 r 6 r 6 r 6 r 6



exchang e of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the
r 6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r 6 r 6 r 6 r6 r6



alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. Internal respiration
r6 r6 r6 r 6 r 6 r 6 r 6


occurs at the cellul ar level and involves movement ofoxygen
r 6 r 6 r 6 r 6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6 r6


from the systemic blood i nto the cells.

a. Red blood cells and body cells r6 r6 r6 r6 r6



b. Scalenes and trapezius r6 r6
