Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: c. Internal respiration

Step by step solution

01

a. External respiration

External respiration refers to the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the blood in the lungs.
02

b. Interpulmonary respiration

Interpulmonary respiration is not a commonly used term, and it seems to be a distractor in this exercise. We will discard this option.
03

c. Internal respiration

Internal respiration is the exchange of gases between the blood in the capillaries and the body's tissues.
04

d. Pulmonary ventilation

Pulmonary ventilation is the process of moving air in and out of the lungs, allowing fresh oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to exit. #Step 2: Identify the correct term# Now, we need to choose the option that refers to gas exchange at the level of the tissues.
05

Choose the correct option

From the definitions, we can see that the term 'Internal respiration' is related to gas exchange at the tissue level, so the correct answer is: c. Internal respiration
