Types of Respiratory Systems
Note That respiration is one of the characteristics of living things we discussed in our basic classes, In this process, oxygen is taken in while carbon iv oxide is given out. The two basic types of respiration are; aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Respiratory system refers to all the parts or organs and cells responsible for respiration process that take place in the organism.
Respiration is simply a biochemical process in which energy is liberated from food substances (mainly simple sugars) in the mitochondria of living cells with the aid of enzymes in the absence or presence of oxygen.
The production of water, carbon iv oxide, alcohol or other organic substances is just incidental to the basic process. Respiration is achieved through the mouth, nose, trachea, lungs and diaphragm. The system functions to obtain oxygen for use by the body and to eliminate the carbon iv oxide. It works in conjunction with the circulatory system.
In animals, the structures associated with respiration include the following organs:
- Body surface (amoeba, paramecium,earthworm,).
