Exchange of gases between blood and cells at capillary beds in body tissues
Oxygen diffuses out of the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses into the blood

breathing
Front
Depends on volume changes in the thoracic cavity
Two Phases:
Inspiration or inhaling
Expiration or exhaling
Back
External respiratory( slide 36)
Front
Pulmonary gas exchange
Deoxygenated blood from the heart enters the lungs
Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into alveoli to be exhaled
Oxygen diffuses into the blood from alveoli
Back
expiration
Front
Mostly a passive process
Inspiratory muscles relax
Size of thoracic cavity decreases
Intrapulmonary pressure is increased
Air flows out of the lungs from the area of higher pressure inside the body
Back
inspiration
Front
Inspiratory muscles contract
Diaphragm
External intercostals
Size of thoracic cavity increases
Intrapulmonary pressure is reduced
Air flows into the lungs from the area of higher pressure outside the body
