- EVOLUTION LINK Aquatic mammals such as whales and dolphins use lungs rather than gills for gas exchange. Propose a hypothesis to explain why.arrow_forwardFigure 39.7 Which of the following statements about the mammalian respiratory system is false? When we breathe in, air travels from the pharynx to the trachea. The bronchioles branch into bronchi. Alveolar ducts connect to alveolar sacs. Gas exchange between the lung and blood takes place in the alveolus.arrow_forwardwhy is gas exchange rate in the lungs of mammals controlled by breathing ratearrow_forward
- How does a frog ventilate its lungs? Contrast an amphibian’s positive-pressure breathing with a mammal’s negative-pressure breathing.arrow_forwardAll mammals breathe through the lungs, as with mammals that live in the sea such as whales. How does the whale breathe in water?arrow_forwardIn which part of the mammalian respiratory system does gas exchange occur? A. bronchioles B. diaphragm C. alveoli D. tracheaarrow_forward
- What are the respiratory organ in animal kingdom?arrow_forwardIn insects, the respiratory system involves structures called tracheal tubes. How do the tracheal tubes provide oxygen to the insects body?arrow_forwardAnimals produce carbon dioxide. Where does this carbon dioxide come from in the human body? Give the name of the processes where carbon dioxide is produced and explain how it is produced.arrow_forward
- What is the role of carbon dioxide in the control of rate and depth of mammalian breathing?arrow_forwardAll vertebrates breathe with either gills or lungs. Which is a property of gills only and not lungs?arrow_forwardIf the respiratory system fails, the circulatory system follows. In what way it is evident in plants and animals?arrow_forward
