First some review exercises
1. Use this interactive link to review the parts of the human gas exchange system.
While you work your way through it define the following terms; ventilation,
external respiration, internal respiration and transport.

2. The following links take you to some drag and drop labeling activities. Complete
the activities to check your understanding. Make text boxes to appropriately label
the diagrams.

I would suggest that you go start your searching in Google images. You are not required
to provide lengthy explanations. This is an opportunity for you to learn about these
