What is the function of a typical cell of the respiratory passage lining?

The primary function of the respiratory system is to provide for the exchange of respiratory gases(O2, CO2) between the organism and the environment.


System that exchanges o2 and co2 between blood and air?

The body system that exchanges o2 and co2 between blood and air is called the respiratory system. It is composed of the nose, windpipe, and lungs. It;s in the lungs that the exchange takes place.


How does ther respiratory system work with other systems?

Respiratory system provides O2 to all other body systems , no life is possible with out O2 .


The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of what?

In the respiratory system, we see the exchange of gases. In this gas exchange, carbon dioxide (CO2) leaves the blood and goes into air in the lungs, and oxygen (O2) leaves the air in the lungs and goes into the blood. It is this gas exchange, which occurs in the alveoli, that permits oxygenation of the blood and keeps us alive.


How does the respiratory help the digestive system?

Respiratory system provides O2 to digestive system which is essential for all cells and their working .


What is the connection between respiratory system and circulartory system?

as when we take air( o2) ,the broncheol(have a special type of skin which take the o2 thru blod flow for all cells present in human body),so mainly the respiratory system linked to circulartory system to provide o2 to cells of the body.


What best 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.)


Which system brings oxygen into your body and removes carbon dioxide?

The primary system to get rid of CO2 is the respiratory system. But it is aided by the circulatory system which delivers CO2 to the aveoli, where hemoglobin on Red blood cells then picks up O2 to take back to the cells.


What are five functions of the nasal cavity in he respiratory system?

The respiratory system supplies the body with O2 (respiration). This system also disposes of CO2 (ventilation). The respiratory system houses the olfactory receptors. Gas exchange between blood and air in the alveoli(external respiration)Gas exchange between the blood and cellular tissue (internal respiration).


How do you describe the respiratory system?

Ch2o + o + o2 -> co2 + h2o + atp


What body system is involved with removing this waste carbon dioxide?

Respiration ! The process by which CO2 is exhaled from the lungs and is replaced by O2


What is the function of the capillaries in the respiratory system?

Capillaries are the connection between arterioles and venules. The capillaries job is to enable the exchange of oxygen, water, carbon-dioxide, chemical substances and various nutrients to between blood and the surrounding tissue.
