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
