Organismal respiration- the process of exchange of gases with the environment. Diffusion- to acquire o2 and eliminate co2. Respiratory surfaces remain moist because cellular membranes are moist and only gases dissolved in water can diffuse through cellular membrane. Large surface area to allow enough gas exchange by diffusion, high concentration to low concentration. Conducting portion- happens in the series of passageways that carry air and structures. Diaphragm- exhaling relaxes and pushes up, inhaling contracts and pushes downward, the ribs and intercostal muscles also contract.
