Final Flashcards
What is respiration?
system of osmotic exchange; lungs as organ, alveoli as basic unit; exchange food for waste and oxygen for carbon dioxide; regulates metabolism through catabolic and anabolic rates
Tidal Volume: normal inhale/exhale cycle; about 16 cycles per minute
What makes up the lungs?
