Document Summary
Functions so supply the body with oxygen and dispose carbon dioxide. Movement of air into and out of the lungs so that gases there are continuously changed and refreshed (i. e. : breathing: external respiration. Movement of oxygen from the lungs to the blood and of carbon dioxide from the blood to the lungs: transport of respiratory gases. Transport of oxygen from the lungs to tissue cells of the body. Transport of carbon dioxide from the tissue cells to the lungs. Accomplished by the cardiovascular system using blood as the transporting fluid: internal respiration. Movement of oxygen from blood to the tissue cells. Movement of carbon dioxide from tissue cells to the blood. The first 2 functions are the specialty of the respiratory system and functions 3 and 4 involve the cardiovascular system. Respiratory system includes the nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, the pharynx, the larynx, the trachea, the bronchi and their smaller branches, the lungs, and alveoli.
