what is pulmonary ventilation? - ANSWER ✔✔-movement of gases into and out of the lungs
what is ventilation between? - ANSWER ✔✔-external environment and lungs
what is inhalation? - ANSWER ✔✔-air moving from the external environment into the lungs
during inhalation, O2 __ and CO2 ___ air is moved into the lungs - ANSWER ✔✔-rich, poor
during exhalation, O2 ___ and CO2 ___ air are removed from the lungs - ANSWER ✔✔-poor, rich
what is exhalation? - ANSWER ✔✔-air moving from the lungs to the external environment
what is respiration? - ANSWER ✔✔-exchange of gases across a membrane into and out of a blood vessel
during respiration, CO2 diffuses from the capillary blood into the ___ while oxygen diffuses from the
lungs into the ___ - ANSWER ✔✔-lungs, capillary blood
what is tissue respiration - ANSWER ✔✔-exchange of O2/CO2 between the blood in the systemic
capillaries
what is the cellular respiration equation? - ANSWER ✔✔-C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
what happens to oxygen during external respiration? - ANSWER ✔✔-moves from the alveoli across the
alveolar membrane into the pulmonary capillary bed
what happens to carbon dioxide during external respiration? - ANSWER ✔✔-moves from the capillary
bed across the alveolar membrane into the alveoli

what happens to carbon dioxide during internal respiration? - ANSWER ✔✔-moves from the interstitial
fluid across the systemic capillary membrane into the systemic capillary bed
what happens to oxygen during internal respiration? - ANSWER ✔✔-moves from the systemic capillary
bed across the systemic capillary membrane into the interstitial fluid where it is used to create ATP
what are the functions of the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-communication, olfaction, pH balance,
blood pressure regulation, filtration of blood, production of platelets, promoting blood and lymph flow
how is communication involved in the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-involved in speech,
vocalization, crying, and laughing
how is olfaction involved in the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-site for smelling
how is the pH balance involved in the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-control the levels of CO2
how is blood pressure regulation involved in the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-lungs are
responsible for producing ACE which is involved in the production of angiotensin II
what is angiotensin II - ANSWER ✔✔-hormone that assists in blood pressure regulation and promotes
the release of aldosterone
how is filtration of blood involved in the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-the lungs are capable of
filtering small blood clots in the blood
how is production of platelets involved in the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-body's platelets are
generated from megakaryocytes in the lungs not bone marrow
how is promoting blood and lymph flow involved in the respiratory system? - ANSWER ✔✔-breathing
and muscle contractions helps to promote the movement of blood and lymph
True or false: gas molecules move down their pressure gradient, from high to low gas pressure -
ANSWER ✔✔-true
