What are the organs or parts involve in external respiration in internal respiration?
External respiration involves the lungs and the alveoli, where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide between the air and blood. Internal respiration occurs at the cellular level, primarily involving the mitochondria, where oxygen is utilized for cellular metabolism and carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct. Blood vessels such as capillaries facilitate the transport of gases between the lungs and tissues.
What occurs in the capillaries?
Capillary exchange- exchange of gases- internal or tissue respiration
Is the exchange of gases within the cells of the body known as internal respiration?
No. The exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells is called internal respiration. External respiration refers to the exchange of gases between the blood and the air inside of the alveoli of the lungs.
Which blood vessels will allow a forceful flow of blood?
cappillaries
What is the type of respiration where oxygen rich blood diffuses the oxygen into tissue cells called?
This type of respiration is called internal respiration. In internal respiration, oxygen diffuses from the bloodstream into the cells of tissues, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the bloodstream.
Which blood vessels allow blood to flow between the arteries and veins?
Capillaries.
What does internal and external respiration mean?
External respiration refers to the act of mechanically pulling air into the lungs via breathing. Internal respiration is the exchange of gasses from blood to tissue and vice versa.
Blood vessels are what type of muscles?
The walls of blood vessels have smooth muscle, which allow contraction and dilation (for example, in response to temperature changes.
What is the muscle that surrounds the blood vessel?
Blood vessels are surrounded by smooth muscle. This is often known as visceral muscle. This type of muscle also lines the blood vessels and internal organs.
What do blood vessels do when the weather is hot?
In hot weather - blood vessels dilate (widen) - to allow the exchange of heat between the blood and sweat glands. The sweat evaporates - cooling the blood.
What is the function of the ctenidia?
The ctenidia, also known as gills, are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in aquatic animals like mollusks. They play a crucial role in respiration by facilitating the uptake of oxygen from the water and the release of carbon dioxide.
Which blood vessels allow substances to travel between the blood and other cells in the body?
capillaries
