Respiratory System

The respiratory system includes the lungs and the airway. The questions in this category focus mainly on the anatomical and physiological processes associated with breathing.

Which system help the respiratory system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Respiratory System regulates breathing and gas exchanges within an organism. In humans, this system includes the lungs, airways, and respiratory muscles.

Whales are mammals, so they have lungs.

How does the chimpanzee do respiration?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The chinchilla receives oxygen through an opening in the anal cavity and CO2 is expelled through the nasal cavity.

How do vulture breathe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Like all birds, vultures have a respiratory system composed of lungs (functionally similar to what humans have, although the structure is very different) and a system of air sacs that allows additional oxygen absorption. Vultures inhale to draw in fresh oxygen-rich air and exhale to get rid of carbon dioxide-rich air.

What is so unique about a bird's respiratory system that makes them able to fly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As far as I know there is nothing special in the respiratory system of a bird that enables flight. I was taught that a massive keel shaped breast-bone with huge pectoral muscles attached to wings did it, but I would be happy to be corrected.

Trace the path of air through the respiratory system in frogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

it goes through the ndhuethy first and then the air goes through the ferstahjd and then the air comes out of the ear, breathing out carbon dioxide. This is the answer

Do sharks have a respiratory system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One difference is that sharks have a much shorter intestine because their food goes through a spiral valve that rotates it multiple times until it's fully digested.

How did the respiratory system change during the development from amphibians to mammals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a number of ways in which the respiratory system has changed during the development of amphibians. Their respiratory system developed in such a way that they need more oxygen than they used to.

Where does the oxygen you breathe come from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ANSWER: from plants, plants give of oxygen that we need and we breathe out carbon dioxide(Co2) and that's what plants need
When a plant does phoyosynthesis it lets out oxygen when it is done.

What is the respiratory system of giraffe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The respiratory evaporative water loss is very small.body temperature is labile with a range of at least 3.3 degrees c.Well pretty much like ours we breathe about the same way. (i acutally don't know my stupid brother told me this)(hehehehehe)

How does tobacco smoking affect someones breathing rate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nicotine and other chemicals in the smoke constrict blood vessels throughout the body. Blood and oxygen can't move as easily through narrowed blood vessels, increasing the likelihood of heart disease or stroke. The poor circulation can also make a smoker's fingers and hands cold.

When a smoker inhales cigarette smoke, these chemicals enter the bloodstream and reach the brain in less than 10 seconds. It takes only 15 to 20 seconds for nicotine to reach every part of a smoker's body. At this speed, the effects of tobacco are felt almost instantly.

it slows the flow of oxygen throughout the body.

How does smoking affect the muscular system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main effect of smoking on the muscular system is from what chemicals the blood is carrying, versus carrying oxygen (O2) molecules. If hemoglobin on red blood cells is carrying less O2, then the muscles do not have enough O2 to do the work needed at the cellular level. As a secondary effect, if the person is short of breath from smoking, they are less likely to be active. So muscles become flabby, adding to the amount of work on the muscles and on the body. With less O2, it is harder to exercise and to walk, thus creating a viscous cycle in which muscles don't get worked, the smoking limits respirations, thus getting less O2, and the muscles continue to get flabby.

What are the effects of smoking on your breathing?

Asked by Wiki User

If you smoke your heart is pumping twice as hard to pump blood around the body. Your lungs will go to a tar colour the more you smoke. You will get shortness of breath and hard coughing putting pressure on your lungs.

How do you trace the route of air from the external nares to an aveolus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

During breathing air enters the nose by passing through the external nares( nostrils)=> pharynx=>larynx=> trachea=> The trachea (windpipe) divides into two main bronchi (also mainstem bronchi), the left main bronchus and right main bronchus. The right main bronchus subdivides into three lobar bronchi while the left main bronchus divides into two. The lobar bronchi divide into => tertiary bronchi, also known as segmental bronchi, each of which supplies a => bronchopulmonary segment. A bronchopulmonary segment is a division of a lung that is separated from the rest of the lung by a connective tissue septum.. There are ten segments per lung, but due to anatomic development, several segmental bronchi in the left lung fuse, giving rise to eight. The segmental bronchi divide into many => primary bronchioles which divide into =>terminal bronchioles, each of which then gives rise to several => respiratory bronchioles, which go on to divide into 2 to 11 => alveolar ducts. There are 5 or 6 =>alveolar sacs associated with each alveolar duct. The alveolus is the basic anatomical unit of gas exchange in the lung.

What is the medical term meaning voicebox?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The proper name for the voice box is the larynx and it connects the pharynx to the trachea. Pitch and volume are controlled here by manipulating the vocal chords, you wouldn't be able to speak without one.

The voicebox is also known as the larynx, across which the vocal cords -- the structures responsible for sound production during phonation -- are stretched.

Does using a snorkel improve lung capacity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm no doctor, but I would think just being in an outdoor water activity should be better than sitting at home.

Other than that, snorkeling on the surface is not much more than simple breathing, but if you occasionally hold your breath and shallow-dive to see more, it would be akin to being on shore and holding your breath, if that increases lung function.

What are two effects of exercise on the respiratory system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The effect exercise has on the respiratory system is that it helps the blood to circulate in the body and so it and the circulatory system have linked together to help in the living of the human body.The respiratory system helps to get rid of unwanted substance in the body (eg.blood)

How does soccer help your respiratory system?

User Avatar

Asked by 24babjesus

Sports like hockey or soccer require a great amount of energy to play. When you play these sports your body, more specifically your muscles, use up oxygen and nutrients. Having lungs helps a person breathe and get oxygen to their muscles. When muscles have oxygen they don't get tired as quickly and the person can keep playing

How do you know that exercise affect our respiratory system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because our respiratory system is part of our breathing and we all breath faster when we do exercise because the oxygen needs to get to the muscles quicker. Exercise also makes you fitter, so you will see an improvement on the respiratory system because your breathing will be more controlable... Therefore exercise defently effects the respiratory system :)

What happens during the exhalation of breathing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Exhaling is expelling used air from the lungs. During exhalation,the diaphragm moves upward while the rib cage moves downward so it goes back to its dome-shaped position

What is the function of diaphragm in the respiratory system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Changing the volume of the chest cavity, and therefore inspiration and expiration.
The function of the diaphragm is to inflate and deflate the lungs for gaseous exchange.
