its not the same. reo done a turtel head...LOL!!

∙ 9y agoGas exchange in insects happens directly through air tubes or pores in the skin. Mammals respire by using lungs and respiratory systems.

Where does gas exchange takes place in mammals?
Alveoli
Tracheal systems for gas exchange are found in which organism?
Insects.
how do insects increase the efficiency of gas exchange during strenuous activity?
No
Do arthropods and mollusks have lungs?
No for arthropods; yes for some molluscs. The larger aquatic arthropods like lobsters and crabs accomplish gas exchange using gills. Smaller ones like the land-based insects have holes (spiracles) in the exoskeleton and a tube system to facilitate gas exchange necessary for respiration. In this case, unlike mammals which use lungs to oxgenate blood which is pumped to the tissues, the tracheal tubes from the spiracles deliver oxygen directly to the tissues. Aquatic molluscs have gills for gas exchange whereas molluscs adapted to live on land like snails do have a lung.
What is the white wolf's gas exchange?
Well, wolves ( all mammals ) use their lungs. Just like humans. Where as fish use gills!
Where does gas exchange occur in respiratory system?
AlveoliThe aveoli are small sacks in the lungs. A membrane that lines these sacks allows oxygen to move to the blood and carbon dioxide to move from the blood.Alveoli are particular to the lungs of mammals. Different structures are involved in gas exchange in other vertebrates.Air travels down the trachea, through thr bronchioles towards the terminal end of the respiratory tract, the alveoli. It is In the pulmonary alveolus that gas exchange with the surrounding capillary beds occurs. It is worth noting that alveoli are solely mammalian structures, so resporatory gas exchange occurs differently in other vertebrates and invertebrates.alveoli
How do the structures of the alveoli and capillaries support the function of gas exchange?
Alveoli are found within the lungs. The alveoli act as a specialised gaseous exchange surface in mammals. Another function of alveoli is the production of surfactant.
How do dogs exchange gas?
Dogs, like humans and all other mammals, get rid of carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen in their lungs during respiration.
Where does gas exchange take place in a grasshopper?
Gas exchange takes place via the spiracles on the grasshopper. This allows oxygen to be transported to all vital parts of the grasshopper via trachea-like structures. Insects have direct oxygen intake and usage, whereas humans require it to be transported via red blood cells. Insects do have "blood" known as hemolymph, however this is mostly a source of sugars and proteins.

What are the air spaces in the lungs called?
The air spaces in the lungs are called pulmonary alveoli. They are where gas exchange occurs in the lungs of mammals.
What are the 4 characteristics of respiration?
There are basic characteristics of respiration in humans and mammals. The first stage is ventilation, followed by pulmonary gas exchange, gas transport, and peripheral gas exchange.
