Respiration: Mechanics and Control Chapter 9: The Respiratory System Lesson 9.2 Respiration: Mechanics and Control
Respiration AKA breathing air moves from pressure to pressure 4 tasks: pulmonary ventilation external respiration respiratory gas transport internal respiration
Respiration Boyle’s law volume of a gas increases, pressure of the gas decreases inspiration (inhalation) expiration (exhalation)
