Accepted Answer

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the tissues is called internal respiration. This process takes place between the tissues and the capillaries surrounding them. Cellular respiration refers to the overall process of oxygen utilization by cells to produce ATP, while pulmonary ventilation refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs. External respiration is the exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood.
