Document Summary

The respiratory and circulatory systems: ventilation and gas exchange are accomplished by the respiratory system. The respiratory system is comprised of the structures responsible for gas exchange between the individual and its environment. In some animals the gas-exchange surface is the skin, but in most species it is located in a specialized organ like the lungs of tetrapods, the tracheae of insects, or the gills found in mollusks, arthropods, and fish. The respiratory and circulatory systems: the circulatory system is responsible for moving o2, co2, and other materials around the body. In most species, a specialized, liquid transport tissue is propelled throughout the body by a muscular heart, through a system of vessels. How do o2 and co2 behave in air: to understand how gases move by diffusion, it is important to express their presence in terms of partial pressures instead of percentages. To obtain oxygen, water breathers face a much more challenging environment than air breathers do.
