Gas Exchange in Humans

  • Understand the structures of the human respiratory system
  • Explain the process of ventilation
  • Describe the adaptations of alveoli and capillaries in gas exchange
  • Discuss the relationship between smoking and exercise and the respiratory system
  • Analyze data on effects of smoking and lung disease on gas exchange efficiency
  • Differentiate between causation and correlation
  • Calculate the pulmonary ventilation rate using the formula: tidal volume x breathing rate.
