Document Summary

The process cellular respiration in organisms (what the mitochondria do) requires o2 and generates co2 as a waste product. Because this cellular respiration is where animals generate most of their atp (energy) it"s important to keep this process going. In order to keep the supply of o2 flowing to the cells and remove the co2 waste respiration is required. In most animals, the o2 and co2 are transported in the blood by bulk flow and exchange into and out of the cells by diffusion. Gas exchange between blood and external environment (air or water) also occurs by diffusion. The respiratory system provides a large, moist surface area so that blood and the external environment may be exchange o2 and co2 by diffusion. The evolution of respiratory systems: respiration without a respiratory or circulatory system (see fig 33-1). Respiratory systems and gas exchange use two processes: The gills contain a dense profusion of capillaries inside the filaments (see fig 33-3)
