Due October 16‚ 2014 Anatomy and Physiology II Unit 5 Gas Exchange Explain how the gas laws and the properties of gases affect the gas exchange between the lung‚ blood‚ and tissues. The major function of the respiratory system is to provide the body with oxygen and rid the body of carbon dioxide. Gas exchange occurs between blood and alveolar air (external respiration) and between blood and tissues (internal respiration).Gas exchange process depends on properties of gasses. Based upon the Basic
