Respiration is the act of breathing: inhaling (inspiration) - taking in oxygen. exhaling (expiration) - giving off carbon dioxide.

Internal or cellular respiration is the process by which glucose or other small molecules are oxidised to produce energy: this requires oxygen and generates carbon dioxide. The body tissues need the oxygen and have to get rid of the carbon dioxide, so the blood carried throughout the body exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide with the body's tissues. Internal respirtaion is basically the exchange of gasses between the blood in the capillaries and the body's cells.

Which is the processes by which external air is drawn into the body in order to supply the lungs with oxygen, and (used) air is expelled from the lungs in order to remove carbon dioxide from to body. (The processes of internal respiration concern the exchange of gases in the lungs with those in the tissues and is described on the next page).

The respiratory system is made up of the organs involved in the interchanges of gases, and consists of the: nose pharynx larynx trachea bronchi lungs

our lungs contain almost 1500 miles of airways and over 300 million alveoli. Every minute you breathe in 13 pints of air. Plants are our partners in breathing. We breathe in air, use the oxygen in it, and release carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. People tend to get more colds in the winter because we're indoors more often and in close proximity to other people. When people sneeze, cough and even breathe -- germs go flying!
