Respiratory System

Respiratory system

The function of the respiratory system is exchange in gases through the body.

 

Nose

There are to function of your nose, the first is to exhale and inhale oxygen for breathing. The second to clean the air, by filtering and moistening.

Pharynx

The pharynx regulates the food and air/oxygen and gases passage. Both food an air go here so the pharynx is used for both the digestive and the respiratory system.

Larynx

The part between the pharynx and the trachea. It's main purpose is a voice box it's is where you talk and also where you get the air into your body.

Trachea

The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe. The trachea begins just under the larynx and runs down behind the breastbone into the bronchus. The trachea then divides into two smaller tubes called bronchi: one bronchus for each lung. Moist, smooth tissue called mucosa lines the inside of the trachea. The trachea widens and lengthens slightly with each breath in, returning to its resting size with each breath out. The function of the trachea is the contacting to help exhale and inhale oxygen.

Bronchi

Bronchi is a branch from trachea that end in bronchioles. The function of the bronchi is a passage way that regulate gases in and out of the body. It also were air is shot up from the bronchi to the trachea to etc. to exhaling.

Lungs

Lungs is the place or the site of breathing. The purposes of the lungs are to bring oxygen, into the body and to remove carbon dioxide. Oxygen is a gas that provides us energy while carbon dioxide is a waste product or "exhaust" of the body. One lung is larger than the other. Pleura-outer lining of lungs.

Alveoli
Alveoli air little air sacs, these little air sacs are were gasses diffuse. They are located on the end or bronchus. these air spaces must be clear at all times.

Diaphragm
  The diaphragm is the sheet of muscles that controls respiration. At the same time, the muscles around the ribs pull them up like a hoop skirt. The chest, or thoracic, cavity becomes deeper and larger, making more air space. The diaphragm sometimes contracts involuntarily due to certain irritations; these contractions can happen because we eat too quickly, drink sodas, experience some acid indigestion, or are dealing with a stressful day.
