Which process involves the movement of oxygen from the blood into body cells and the exchange of carbon dioxide from cells into the blood?
Cellular metabolism
Alveolar ventilation
External respiration
Internal respiration
The Correct Answer is D
A. Cellular metabolism: Cellular metabolism refers to the chemical reactions inside cells that use O₂ and produce CO₂, but it does not describe the movement of gases between blood and cells.
B. Alveolar ventilation: Alveolar ventilation is the movement of air into and out of the alveoli (airways → lungs), not the exchange between blood and body cells.
C. External respiration: External respiration is gas exchange between the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries (air and blood in the lungs), not between blood and tissues.
D. Internal respiration: Internal respiration is the exchange of O₂ from the blood into body cells and CO₂ from the cells into the blood .
