1) The main function of the human respiratory system is to ensure that oxygen is brought to
each cell in the body and that carbon dioxide to leave each cell and be removed from the
body. respiration is the general term that is used to describe this overall process.

2) The surface area must be large enough for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
to occur at fast enough rates to meet the body's needs. Respiration must take place in a
moist environment so that the oxygen and carbon dioxide are dissolved in water.

3) Breathing, External respiration, Internal respiration, Cellular respiration.

4) lungs

5) It comes from the greek word meaning “chest plate”.

6) The respiratory tract is a passageway for air to move from the external environment to
the respiratory surface. The lungs are located deep within the body.

7) uwu

8) Because we breathe more rapidly in the mouth and when we need more oxygen than
usual.

9) The nasal passages serve to warm, moisten, and clean the incoming air.

10) The nasal passages are lined with ciliated cells. Other cells secrete mucus which traps
foreign particles.

11) Ciliated cells move foreign particles back up and then expelled through coughing or
sneezing

12) These bones increase the surface area of the nasal passages.
13) It comes from the latin word turbinatus which means like a spinning top.

14) The heat from the blood warms the air as it passes through, and mucus moistens the air.
Both the warming and moistening are necessary to protect the delicate structure that are
found in the lower respiratory tract.

15) Voice box. Made from cartilage and contain the vocal chords.

16) The larynx and vocal chords grow very quickly; this can cause their voices to break until
the chords finish growing.

17) Open area at back permits expansion of esophagus when swallowing food.

18) The epiglottis prevents food and liquid from entering the trachea and passing into the
bronchi. We might choke if it did not function properly.
19) The bronchi have C-shaped cartilaginous rings. The bronchioles do not have c-rings.

20) Each bronchus has branches of smaller and finer tubes. Even the bronchioles branch of
into about 50 000 even smaller branches.

21) The right lung has three, and the left lung has only two leaving space for the heart.

22) Pleural membrane is a thin double layered membrane that surrounds the lung, this serve
as a means for connecting the lungs to the thoracic cavity that enables them to expand
and contact with the movement of the chest.

23) Alveoli are tiny sacs found in the end of each bronchiole. It is where the actual gas
exchange takes place during external respiration. It is enclosed by a membrane called
the alveolar wall.
