Study Notes

External Respiration

Oxygen-rich air enters the alveoli during inhalation.
Oxygen diffuses across thin alveolar walls into the bloodstream, bonding to hemoglobin.
Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli.

Alveoli

Tiny air sacs at the end of bronchioles.
Crucial for gas exchange.
Oxygen moves through a single layer of lung cells into the bloodstream.
Carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream to the alveolus.
Approximately 300 million alveoli exist in the lungs.

Bronchioles

Small, branching air passages in the lungs.
Connect larger bronchi to the alveoli.
Serve as conduits for air.

Internal Respiration

Oxygen is delivered to body tissues.
Carbon dioxide is removed from tissues and transported back to the lungs.

Trachea

Wide, hollow tube connecting the larynx to the bronchi.
Allows airflow to and from lungs.
Prepares inhaled air to optimal temperature and humidity.
