EXTERNAL RESPIRATION:

  • It takes place along the respiratory surface along the lungs.
  • also known as breathing.
  • It is a process during which oxygen is taken up by capillaries of lung alveoli and carbon dioxide is released from blood.
INTERNAL RESPIRATION:
  • It is a biological process.
  • takes place within the cells( i.e.., at cellular level).
  • It is the process in which oxygen is released to tissues or living cells and carbon dioxide is absorbed by the blood.
