no..
Inhalation is the movement of air from an external environment, through the airways, and into the alveoli. (Breathing)
Respiration can mean a number of things:
*Cellular respiration, the process in the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes.
* Respiration (physiology), the process by which multicellular organisms capture and excrete the gaseous fuel and waste of cellular respiration.
* Anaerobic respiration, a process that allows respiration without use of oxygen; can only happen for a limited amount of time in humans.
* Carbon respiration-a phrase used in combination with carbon storage to calculate the amount of carbon (as CO2) flux occurring in the atmosphere through the various processes that add and subtract atmospheric carbon.
