Examines how oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported throughout the body, guided by the brain as it reacts to internal and external stimuli, as modeled by a swimmer. The complementary systems to meet the body's energy needs are identified, anaerobic respiration and oxygen debt are addressed, special properties of cardiac muscle tissue are outlined, and the effects of smoke inhalation on the lungs from cigarettes and a house fire are also considered.
