Stages of Respiration

Stages of RespirationThere are two stages of respiration:

  • External respiration: a process in which they take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide:
  • Breathing: it is the process of taking the required gas and giving out waste or un - required gases. It involves inhalation and exhalation, e.g. an aerobic organism such as human beings takes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide.
  • Gaseous exchange: it takes place between blood and alveolar air across the alveolar wall, i.e. diffusion of oxygen from lungs to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to lungs. In plants, it occurs through stomata.
  • Internal respiration: it is the gaseous exchange between arterial blood and the body cells.
