The factors of air temperature, particulate content and humidity are not necessarily requirements for respiration. That being said having humidity can minimize the feeling of dryness and even dehydration, as in on passenger aircraft. Filtration can minimize Allergies, and is very important in surgical environments.Ê

As air passes over the moist mucous membranes on inhalation decreases the amount of?

As air passes over the moist mucous membranes on inhalation decreases the amount of moisture in the membranes. The mucus along the membranes trap foreign particles prevention them from entering the lungs.


Which organ do you breathe out of when you need extra air?

You breathe out through your lungs when you need to expel excess air. The lungs help remove carbon dioxide, a waste product produced by cells during respiration, from the body when you exhale.


Why do we need lungs for respiration?

We need lungs for respiration because they are the organs responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air we breathe and our bloodstream. This process is essential for our cells to produce energy and for our bodies to function properly.


Why is the lung moist and what role does this moisture play in its function?

The lung is moist to help with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during breathing. The moisture in the lung helps to keep the airways lubricated and allows for efficient gas exchange between the air and the blood vessels in the lungs. This moisture also helps to filter out particles and pathogens from the air we breathe.


Submucosal glands that secrete mucus are characteristics of the?

Submucosal glands that secrete mucus are a characteristic of the respiratory system. These glands help to keep the airways moist and trap foreign particles to protect the lungs from damage or infection.
