Physiologists (see Physiology) have also studied the mechanisms that are involved in gas exchanges between the blood of an animal and the environment, or the mechanisms that are involved in the transport of gas in the body. In this case, it refers to :

Respiration, the biological function by which the organism absorbs oxygen and disposes of carbon dioxide. See the following subjects :

• Respiration (physiology), the process by which multicellular organisms capture and excrete the gaseous fuel and waste of cellular respiration
  • Aquatic respiration, the process whereby an aquatic animal obtains oxygen from water
  • External respiration, the process by which gases are exchanged between the atmosphere and the pulmonary loop of circulation.
  • Muscles of respiration
  • Respiratory system of humans and other mammals
  • Respiratory tract in humans is the part of the anatomy that has to do with the process of (physiological) respiration
  • Respiratory rate, the number of breaths an animal takes per minute
• Abnormal or pathological breathing:
  • Respiratory disease
  • Ataxic respiration
  • Agonal respiration
  • Apneustic respirations
  • Cheyne-Stokes respiration
  • Biot's respiration
  • Respiratory arrest, the cessation of the normal tidal flow of the lungs due to paralysis of the diaphragm
  • Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate to perform needed gas exchange
  • Inspiratory paroxysmal respiration (also known as "reverse sneezing"), a phenomenon observed in dogs (Especially small dogs)
  • Respiratory therapy or Inhalation therapy, the assessment and treatment of respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies
  • Artificial respiration
