Answer 1

The correct option is B) how gases are transferred between the lungs and the blood vessels supplying them

Step-by-step explanation:

Respiration is the process of inhalation of air into the lungs, from the environment and the supply of oxygen into the tissues by the blood vessels and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the respiratory physiology is the study of transfer of gases between the lungs and the blood vessels.
