What are the three basic steps involved in respiration?

To review:
The three basic steps involved in the process of respiration.
Introduction:
The respiratory system is a type of biological system, which consists of specific organs and structures responsible for the exchange of gas in the animals and plants. Humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Explanation of Solution
The process of providing the body with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide is known as respiration and it involves three basic steps, which are as follows:
Pulmonary ventilation: It is commonly known as breathing. It is the process of inhalation and exhalation of air moreover includes the exchange of the gases between the atmosphere and the alveoli of the lungs. Through inhalation, oxygen is allowed to enter the lungs and exhalation allows the carbon dioxide to exit the lungs.
External respiration: During external respiration, the gases of the air get exchanged between the blood present in the pulmonary capillaries and alveoli of the lungs. In external respiration, the capillary receives oxygen and loses carbon dioxide.
Internal respiration: It refers to the interchanging of gases that takes place between the tissues and systemic capillaries. In this, the blood loses oxygen and gains carbon dioxide.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the respiration occurs in three steps namely, pulmonary ventilation, external, and internal respiration.

- You have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.arrow_forwardUse the following tree diagram to answer Questions #8-10. 8) Which of the following two animals are the most closely related based on the tree to the left? a) Pig and camel b) Hippo and pig c) Deer and cow 9) CIRCLE on the tree diagram where the common ancestor between a hippo and a cow is. 10) Put a SQUARE on the tree diagram where the common ancestor between a pig and a peccary is.arrow_forwardExplain: Healthy Cell Function Overview→ Briefly describe how a healthy cell usually works: metabolism (ATP production), pH balance, glycogen storage, ion transport, enzymes, etc. Gene Mutation and Genetics Part→ Focus on the autosomal recessive mutation and explain: How gene mutation affects the cell.
