16. Conductive Vs. conductive- brings in inhaled air
Respiratory Zone respiratory zone- where gas exchange occurs

17. External vs inter- Internal respiration occurs in the body tissues, where cells release carbon dioxide
nal respiration and take in oxygen from the blood. External respiration occurs in the lungs and
occurs when the body takes in oxygen from the atmosphere and releases carbon
dioxide.

18. What is gas ex-
