Study Questions from ch.6

1. Describe and differentiate between external and internal respiration.

2. Describe the mechanisms involved in inspiration and expiration.

3. What is a spirometer? Describe and define the lung volumes measured using spirometry.

4. Explain the concept of partial pressures of respiratory gases--oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. What is the role of gas partial pressures in pulmonary diffusion?

5. Where in the lung does the exchange of gases occur with the blood? Describe the role of the respiratory membrane.
