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 .

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Ileocecal sphincter:the ileocecal valve/sphincter regulates flow from ileum to cecum in the GI tract, unrelated to urinary control.
B. Internal urethral sphincter: Incorrect (mostly involuntary) -the internal sphincter (smooth muscle) provides involuntary control of urine retention at the bladder neck via autonomic regulation.
C. Internal anal sphincter: the internal anal sphincter controls fecal continence (involuntary), not urinary flow.
D. External urethral sphincter: the external urethral sphincter is skeletal muscle under voluntary control and allows conscious initiation or delay of urination.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Mastication: Mastication is the mechanical chewing of food that occurs in the mouth to break food into smaller pieces -not related to bile emulsifying fats.
B. Peristalsis: Peristalsis are wave-like smooth muscle contractions that propel contents through the GI tract -helps move chyme but does not chemically/physically disperse fat droplets like bile does.
C. Emulsification: Emulsification is the process by which bile salts surround and break large fat globules into many small droplets, increasing surface area for lipase action.
D. Deglutition: Deglutition is the act of swallowing, moving a bolus from the mouth into the pharynx and esophagus -not the process of bile acting on lipids.
