Study Notes
The Respiratory Cycle
- The respiratory cycle is a process of gas exchange involving the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the environment and the body.
- During this process, air is taken in and then expelled from the lungs.
- Oxygen is absorbed from the inhaled air into the bloodstream.
- Simultaneously, by-products of oxygen, such as carbon dioxide, are released from the bloodstream into the exhaled air and expelled out of the body.
This quiz is about the process of gas exchange during the respiratory cycle. It covers the mechanisms of taking in oxygen and releasing by-products. Test your knowledge of the respiratory system!
