Short-term high-frequency nasal ventilation (HFNV) of preterm neonates provides acceptable gas exchange compared to endotracheal intubation and intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV). Whether ...
The morphometrics of the respiratory system, voluntary emersion behaviour, and gas exchange during immersion and emersion were examined in the amphibious, intertidal crab Hemigrapsus nudus. The area ...
Gas exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. For unicellular organisms the respiratory surface is simply ...
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the human body. This system also helps remove metabolic waste products and keep pH levels in check. The major ...
