Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respiration involves processes related to exchanging gases between the body and the environment or within the body itself. Filtering and moisturizing the air is primarily the function of the respiratory system, but it is not a part of the actual process of respiration. The five processes of respiration include: (A) cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP; (C) internal respiration, which is the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the blood and tissues; (D) the movement of air in and out of the lungs, which is also known as ventilation; (E) pulmonary (external) respiration, which is the exchange of gases between the lungs and blood.
