What is Gas Exchange in the Respiratory System about?
The respiratory system facilitates gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli of the lungs, where oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out. Breathing is regulated by the brain stem, and various respiratory diseases, such as emphysema, asthma, and cystic fibrosis, can hinder this process. Smoking is identified as the primary cause of lung diseases that affect gas exchange.
