Physiologists (see Physiology) have also studied the mechanisms that are involved in [[gas exchange]s 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 ot the respiratory system, 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:
- 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
