What is the RIGHT Lung
Tube that delivers air from the MOUTH and NOSE to the TRACHEA
The movement of gases from an area of HIGH concentration to and area of LOW concentration
What is Diffusion

What is a Nasal Cannula
Location of gas exchange in the lungs

What is the Larynx
The echange of ocxygen and CO2 between the CELLS and circulating blood
What is Cellular respiration
inadequate breathing OR the reduction of breathing to the point where O2 intake is not sufficient enough to support life
