Why air is a better respiratory medium?

the respiratory medium of aquatic and terrestrial organisms are water and air respectively.Aquatic animals get oxygen dissolved in water while terrestrial animals get oxygen from atmospheric air.The oxygen content of air is much higher then the oxygen content of water.The ventilation in water is far more difficult than the ventilation in air because water is denser then air. Thus air is the better respiratory medium then water.

I have sleep apnea and use a C-Pap with oxygen also What can too much oxygen cause?

Oxygen makes you more alert and clear thinking. Navy pilots are required at times to go an 100% oxygen prior to an approach if cruising altitude has been higher than a certain level If, however, you are a carbon dioxide retainer, excessive oxygen can be fatal. In a CO2 retainer, excessive O2 can cause the respiratory system to slow, and cause a fatal amount of CO2 to build up in the lungs. I have personal experience with this, and nearly over dosed on O2 on one occasion.


Explain the close relationship between the respiratory system and the circulatory system?

The circulatory system and respiratory system are interlaced. The circulatory system much deliver nutrients to all the parts of the body. Every single part of the body needs oxygen, so the circulatory system takes the oxygen collected by the respiratory system and delivers it to the rest of the body.


What percentage of oxygen will cause death?

It's probably fine for healthy individuals, at least for short term. Hospitals have patients on 100% oxygen all the time. Your lungs only take as much as your blood can absorb. Any more than that would be exhaled. Patient with COPD may have problem with pure 100% oxygen because your respiratory drive depends on CO2 levels.
