What is the relationship between CO2 and O2 for the orca

Orca inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbondioxide just like humans and other mammals.

Orcas is a type of whale which breathe air through their lungs not gills. They can't inhale oxygen from water, it comes to the surface in order to inhale oxygen and exhale carbondioxide.

In Orca breathing is not an automatic reflex but a conscious act due to the environmental condition. When orcas come to the surface to breathe they must quickly expel the carbondioxide gas and inhale oxygen into the lungs so we can conclude that Orca breathe just like humans and other mammals.

the endocrine system secretes hormones into blood and other body fluids. these chemicals are important for metabolism, growth, water and mineral balance, and the response to stress. hormones provide feedback to the brain to affect neural processing. reproductive hormones affect the development of the nervous system.
