1.1.Function of Respiratory System
Objectives
Understand the function of gas exchange in respiration
Summary
The function of respiration is to provide gas exchange for an organism. Since most biological organisms require aerobic metabolism for basic survival function, these metabolic chemical reactions either produce or consume gases. (Most animals consume O2 and produce CO2 gases while most plants consume CO2 and produce CO2 during photosynthesis.) As a result, gas exchange is needed between the external and internal environments. The respiratory system provides a means for the organism to exchange gases efficiently and delivers the needed gases via the circulatory system.
Q&A
What are the functions of the respiratory system?
It is used for gas exchange.
Note that plants also consume O2 and produce CO2 in its metabolism, especially in the non-photosynthetic parts, such as roots. Of course, photosynthesis will consume CO2 and produce O2 as the result.
What gas is needed for aerobic metabolism?
Oxygen is needed for aerobic metabolism.
