Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The respiratory system is responsible for multiple processes involved in gas exchange, including pulmonary respiration (gas exchange within the lungs), pulmonary ventilation (movement of air in and out of the lungs), and external respiration (gas exchange between the lungs and bloodstream). However, the transport of respiratory gases is primarily performed by the cardiovascular system, specifically through the circulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide via red blood cells.
