Exchange of gases in alveoli:
Alveoli are the primary site of exchange of gases. Concentration of oxygen is more in alve
Breathing mechanism:
It is the first step of respiration which involves inspiration of fresh air and expiration of foul air. An average human brea
Transport of gases in Blood:
Oxygen transport: oxygen is carried by blood in
Oxygen – Dissociation curve:
When percentage saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen (O2) , is plotted against the partial pressure of oxygen (Po2), in atmosphere. This plot is called O2-HB Dissociation curve
Anaerobic Respiration:
That occurs without the use of molecular oxygen. Also called Fermentation.

All living things need energy for all metabolic activities:
Differences regarding respiration:
Difference between respiration and breathing:
Human respiratory system:
Firstly, Nose which has two external nostril opening. It leads to nasal chamber which further leads to naso-

Partial Pressure:
Pressure exerted by individual gases in a mixture of gases is called partial pressure.
Po2
Aerobic Respiration:
That occurs by the use of molecular oxygen. And can be direct or indirect on the basis of exchange of gases:
