The centres in pons influence the rhythmicity centre of the medulla. Pons has pneumotaxic centre and apneustic centre. The pneumotaxic centre inhibits the inspiratory neurons and facilitates expiration as a result the breathing rate becomes increased.

Alveoli is the primary site of the lungs where the exchange of gases takes place between lungs and blood capillaries.

$RBC$ has the presence of a carbonic anhydrase enzyme that helps in bidirectional reaction, i.e. formation and dissociation of carbonic acid.

The oxygen dissociation curve explains the saturation of $O_{2}$ with haemoglobin.
