Breathing and Exchange of Gases

The category of Breathing and Exchange of Gases explores the fundamental processes that enable organisms to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, vital for sustaining life. This section delves into the mechanisms of respiration across various species, the anatomy involved in gas exchange, and the biochemical pathways that facilitate these essential interactions. It also highlights the significance of this process in maintaining homeostasis, the impact of environmental factors, and common respiratory disorders. By understanding how breathing works, we gain insights into its crucial role in overall health and the ecosystem.
