Gas Exchange and Transport

Draw a concept map, chart or an image that explains how the two main gases in our
body are transported. Make sure to include the places where the gases diffuse into/out
of and how they are transported in the blood (are they ions? are they attached to
something?) and why hemoglobin is so important!

Malfunctions of the Respiratory System

For each of the malfunctions of the RS we reviewed, write out how it affects the body,

the disease. Malfunctions include: Upper Respiratory Tract Infections, Asthma,
COPD and Lung Cancer
