Why cant you find a respiratory structure in the segments of the earthworm?
You DO find a respiratory structure in each segment of the earthworm. An earthworm uses its skin as the respiratory structure. Oxygen in the air dissolves in the moisture and mucus on the skin then diffuses into blood capillaries close to the skin to be transported to the rest of the body.
In what structure of the respiratory system does an occlusion cause the total cessation of air flow into and out of the lungs?

What are small tubes in your lungs?
the bronchial tubes are part of an internal structure known as the respiratory tree. This structure is part of the respiratory system, which allows humans to exchange the air in their lungs. People need to breathe in air that is rich in oxygen. the air they breathe out has poor levels of oxygen. the bronchial tubes connect the lungs to the trachea to facilitate this...
What part of the respiratory system is responsible for filtering the air as you breathe?

What are the structurs in the respiratory system and what do they do?
the lungs is the basic unit structure of the human respiratory system
Respiratory Structure Mainly Affected by Emphysema?
Small airways (bronchioles) and lung sacs (alveoli). Bronchioles collapse, trapping air in alveoli, which then overstretch.
A respiratory structure that allows speech?
the larynx
Is the alveoli the smallest structure of the respiratory system?
no
