In this episode, we dive deep into the process of breathing and gas exchange, a core physiology chapter in NEET Biology. We’ll begin with the human respiratory system, covering the structure of nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and alveoli, and explain how these structures enable efficient respiration. We’ll then break down the mechanism of breathing — inspiration, expiration, and the role of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles — along with the lung volumes and capacities important for NEET. Next, we’ll explore exchange and transport of gases (O₂ and CO₂), focusing on diffusion, hemoglobin’s role, oxygen dissociation curve, and regulation of breathing. Finally, we’ll highlight disorders of the respiratory system such as asthma, emphysema, and occupational diseases.
With clear explanations, diagrams-in-words, and exam-focused strategies, this episode ensures you can master breathing and gas exchange with confidence
