On the Existence of a Common Cardiorespiratory Network

  • Conference paper
Cardiorespiratory and Motor Coordination

Abstract

The primary function of the respiratory system, the gills and/or lungs, is to exchange gases between the external environment and the internal milieu of the organism. The cardiovascular system assists this function by transporting blood gases — O2 from the gill/lung capillaries to the tissue capillaries and CO2 from the tissue capillaries to the gill/lung capillaries. These processes of gas exchange and gas transportation are adjusted to maintain homeostasis in varying physiological circumstances — this is the basic cardiorespiratory function.
