The Respiratory System is part of what System?
The fact that it is a "system" dictates that it is part of the "respiratory system". But to answer the question I think you are asking I would have to say it works in conjunction with the cardio- pulmonary system in the absorption of oxygen.Respiration is the act of bringing oxygen into your body and exhaling carbon dioxide and other wastes from your body. This is done via the lungs or pulmonary system. Medicine was first organized in Latin but since this is a language no longer used, we have come up with our own terms as well, which is why we have different names for the same systems (circulatory/cardiac, pulmonary/respiratory, hepatic/liver, renal/kidneys, etc).
Where does the respriatory system begin?
If you mean 'respiratory system'.....then it starts at the nose (breathing in is the first process before the air can reach the lungs for filtering out of oxygen into the blood stream). Breathing in is referred to as inhalation (of air), and breathing out is exhalation. Try browsing through the Biology categories (Human Anatomy, etc.) for the technical details, if you need them.
Is the trachea in the lower respiratory tract?
Yes, the trachea is the first structure classified as a part of the lower respiratory tract.
Is the pharynx apart of the respiratory system?
Short answer: YES, because all air inhaled and exhaled passes through the pharynx/throat.The pharynx (or throat) is divided into 3 parts which are (from superior to inferior) nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx. The first part, the nasopharynx, is specially adapted for respiration. The 2 lower parts are adapted for both respiration and digestion as both air and food pass through them.
What organ receives nutrients first when transported through the vascular system?
The heart itself is the first organ to receive blood from the cardiovascular system. Its blood vessels stem directly from the base of the aorta.
Through which part of the respiratory system does air generally travel first?
The respiratory tract begins with the mouth or the nose, and then the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchioles, and then the oxygen exchange occurs in the alveoli.

Do invertebrates have a respiratory system?
Yes, Invertebrates have respiratory system. upto phylum Annelida no special respiratory organs are found. The respiratory system first appears in phylum Arthropoda. Trachea, Book lungs, book gills are respiratory organs in Arthropodans. Mollusca have gills. Echinodermata have Tube feet, Respiratoryy tree and bursae
What describes the human respiratory system?
The respiratory system is composed of moist passageways that permit air to flow from the external environment to the lungs. In the lungs, blood vessels carrying CO2 on hemoglobin molecules releases the CO2 at the alveoli in exchange for O2. The CO2 is breathed out through the lungs, while the fresh O2 travels through the bloodstream to the cells in all parts of the body. (The first sentence is an extremely simplified and narrow description of the respiratory system, which is much more complicated.)
Will deep breathing help with respiratory problems?
Yes it does, it is the respiratory system, meaning breathing system. :D
