Document Summary

Major funcion of respiratory system is to supply body with o2 and dispose of co2. Role of blood in transport of gases between lungs and issues of body: internal respiraion: at the level of the issues, exchange of gases between blood in systemic capillaries and issue cells. First 2 funcions handled by respiratory system, other two by cardiovascular system! 6. 1describe the structure of each one of the components of the conducion and respiratory zones. Respiratory system includes: nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli. This is split into 2 zones: the respiratory zone: actual site of gas exchange, respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli, and microscopic structures, conducing zone: passageways. Nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles. Funcions: airway for respiraion, moistens and warms incoming air, filters and cleans inspired air, resonaing chamber for speech, olfactory receptors.
