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.
