In the mass on a spring system: The period of oscillation DOES depend on the mass according to the equation: T = 2*pi*sqrt(m/k) T = period pi = 3.14 m = mass k = spring constant (i.e. how stiff the spring is) It DOES NOT depend on the length of the spring (which is why you don't see it in the above equation).
Pulmonary gas exchange takes place in the lungs between the alveoli and the blood. It is also referred to as âexternal respirationâ as it involves the respiratory processes that have contact with the external environment.
Words to Know. Alveoli: Tiny air-filled sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs between the lungs and the bloodstream. Bronchi: Two main branches of the trachea leading into the lungs.Bronchial tree: Branching, air-conducting subdivisions of the bronchi in the lungs.he exchange of these gases occurs across cell membranes both in the lungs (external respiration) and in the body tissues (internal respiration). Breathing, or pulmonary ventilation, describes the process of inhaling and exhaling air. The human respiratory system consists of the respiratory tract and the lungs.
