During respiration, 3) Air enters the nostrils. 1) Air passes from the trachea to the bronchi. 4) Air diffuses from the alveoli to the blood cells. 2) Oxygen enters the blood cells. 5) Blood transports oxygen to other cells.
<h3>What is respiration?</h3>
During respiration process occurs gas interchange between the body and the environment.
There are two types of respiration,
1) External respiration involves two different stages, inspiration - inhalation- and expiration -exhalation-.
• During inspiration, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contractions enhance the size of the thoracic box and reduce internal pressure. As a result, air flows in and fills the lungs.
• During expiration, the diaphragm relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic box diminishes, increasing the internal pressure and making the lungs contract, which results in air expulsion.
2) Internal respiration, during which blood and cells interchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Steps:
1) External respiration - Inhalation
Air passes from the environment to the lungs through the nose or mouth.
Oxygenated air moves
• From the nose or mouth to the pharynx.
• From the pharynx to the larynx.
• From the larynx to the trachea.
• From the trachea to the bronchia.
• From bronchia to bronchiole.
• Finally, from the bronchiole to alveoli.
Gas interchange with blood occurs in alveoli.
2) Internal respiration - Systemic circulation
The oxygenated blood moves from the lungs to the heart and the rest of the body.
Gases interchange occurs during this step. Cells take oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
Deoxygenated blood moves from tissues to the heart and from the heart to the lungs, releasing carbon dioxide there.
3) External respiration - Exhalation
Carbon dioxide is released by expiration.
Correct order of steps
3) Air enters the nostrils.
1) Air passes from the trachea to the bronchi.
4) Air diffuses from the alveoli to the blood cells.
2) Oxygen enters the blood cells.
5) Blood transports oxygen to other cells.
