Document Summary

Responsible for bringing air into the lungs and expelling the residual air and metabolic gases from the body. Designed to generate intrathoracic negative and positive gas pressures for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Designed to ultimately transfer the air into the alveoli or the small cavities that are surrounded by pulmonary capillaries carrying partially deoxygenated blood in the lung. Chemical process in which there is an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide from two sites. Pulmonary circulation - between the red blood cells in the lungs and the atmosphere. Carries un-oxygenated hemoglobin from all cells inthe body to the alveoli so that carbon dioxide could be expelled and oxygen attach to the hemoglobin. Between cells of the body and the systemic capillaries which carries the oxygenated hemoglobin to tall cells. The oxygen diffuses to the cells so that atp can be generated.
