Gas Exchange In Different Animals | Physiology | Biology | FuseSchool

Respiration is carried out by all living things.

Animals need oxygen to carry out aerobic respiration and they need to get rid of the waste product called carbon dioxide. This is called gas exchange. Swapping one gas for another.

Animals have evolved different mechanisms for carrying out gaseous exchange.

The most important thing is to create a large surface area, the bigger the surface area the faster diffusion of the gases can occur. Secondly they all have a good blood supply. You want to get oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out as quickly as possible so the blood travels very close to the exchange surface to once again maximise diffusion.

Pov: you're watching this for homework

omg thank you im in leave 2 bio and this video helped me so much to write a report comparing gas exchange systems.

Easy for students to understand concept better....!!!

At 0:42 seeing the polar bear made me sad; how ideal it would be for it to have ice to stand on, unlike now. :(

I turned on subtitles, I'm not stupid! The subtitles are in English, and I'm telling you that my level of English is very low. At the moment I am using a translator to communicate with you.

Hi, I am from Kazakhstan and i know English very small, but our teacher in biology sent this video to us, how can i learn? Help me please

"Respiration is carried out by all living things"
Isn't this false because some living things carry out fermentation, not respiration?

I came here to learn about the fish gas exchange

hey, there is channel that copied your video. idk if they have your permission, but it has more than 7k views right now. unstupid channel, go search for animal respiratory system. their video is on top of your og vid. thanks.
