Lab #11: Respiratory Physiology Background The Respiratory system enables the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the cells and the atmosphere, thus enabling the intake of O2 into the body for aerobic respiration and the release of CO2 for regulation of body fluid pH. In this exercise, we will examine ventilation of the lungs to enable the exchange of air between the alveoli and the atmosphere, and also explore the rate of CO2 release from the lungs as a mechanism for controlling pH. Fig Relaxation of the inspiratory muscles drives tidal expiration (left), whereas forced expirations are driven by contraction of the expiratory muscles (right).
