Document Summary

4 respiration; animals must maintain oxygen levels gas must be acquired from external environment. Gas exchange between external environment and the body oxygen in water is much less in the air respiration can be divided into external and internal external obtaining oxygen and delivery co2 to external environment ventilation. Internal; mitochondria use of oxygen to produce energy (in mitochondria) External respiration: flow of air or water), loaded with oxygen which is delivered to tissue (respiratory surface) perfusion two step processes (ventilation and perfusion) Blood flow; delivery of oxygen to the rest of the tissue. Delivery of gas, active movement of respiratory medium (air or water), (bulk. They must work harder to get oxygen from low oxygen medium difference between oxygen in air and environment because of solubility same temperature diffusion coefficient is much more in air than in water. Co2 diffusion is more in air than water. Solubility is way more in air than water.
