Understanding the Human Body: An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
Respiratory System—Physiology of the Lungs
S1 E6:
We turn now to the physiology of the respiratory system. We examine the four areas where respiration occurs and the consequences of blocking this respiration. We review the physiology of the movement of gases into the lungs and of their exchange with waste gases. Finally, we turn to the central respiratory centers, and we examine some respiratory disorders and their treatments.
