Respiratory System is the only life support system under voluntary and automatic control. The respiratory system functions to obtain the oxygen necessary to create energy for body functions and to eliminate the carbon dioxide produced during cellular metabolism. It it also connected to Emotion.
Respiratory System Organs:
Nose and nasal cavity
Sinuses
Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Lungs
Diaphragm
Thorax
Nose and Nasal Cavities
-Nostrils (external nares): separates the nasal cavities from the oral cavity
-Nasal Cavities: divided into two passages by the nasal septum, which is made up of hyaline cartilage
-Hard palate: hard portion of the roof of the mouth, separates the nasal cavities from the oral cavity. It's made up of the maxillary and palatine bones
-Soft palate: separates the pharynx into the nasopharynx and oropharynx
-Vestibule: first portion of the nasal cavity, Covered with tiny hairs that filter the air that goes into the system
-Conchae: Shelf-like progections from the lateral wall of the nose
-Meatus: Between the conchae. helps churn the air which enables the large particles to stik to the mucus lining
-Nasolacrimal duct: the tear duct that opens into the nose from the conjuctiva of the eye
-Nasal epithelium: Mucous; cleans the air that enters the nasal cavity & brings it to body temp. and humidity
-Lamina propria: connective tissue lining the epithelium
Sinus Cavities: Four groups of air-filled spaces that open into the internal nose.
Sphenoid sinus - posteriorly and superiorly, closely related to the pituitary gland
Maxillary sinus - in the maxillary bones
Ethmoid sinus - superior and posterior part of the nasal cavity
Frontal sinus - deep in the medial part of the eyebrows
Pharynx (Throat) - Passageway for both air and food
Larynx (Voice box) - Connects the pharynx with the trachea
Trachea (windpipe) - Main airway to the lungs
Lungs - Primary organs of respiration (Right Lungs;3 lobes & Left Lung; 2 lobes)
Diaphragm- Dome shaped sheet of muscle attached to thoracic wall that separates lungs and thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.
Thorax (Chest Cavity) - upper region of the torso
KEY TERMS
Peristalisis: rhythmic contraction of smooth muscles that propels products of
digestion along the tract from the esophagus to the anus
Respiration: Movement of air in and out of lungs.

How do the circulatory system and the respiratory system depend on each other?
The circulatory system and the respiratory system depend on each other because the respiratory system provides oxygen to the blood, which is then carried by the circulatory system to all parts of the body. In return, the circulatory system delivers carbon dioxide from the body's cells to the respiratory system to be exhaled. This exchange of gases is essential for the body to function properly and maintain homeostasis.
What parts of the respiratory system function as the main sites of gas exchange?
In the respiratory system, it is the alveoli.In the circulatory system, it's the capillaries.They are similar in that both have walls that are only one cell thick, they are both the thinnest parts of their systems, and they are right next to each other. (They diffuse through to each other.)In the respiratory system it's the Alveoli and in the circulatory system it's the capillaries :D
A semi-detailed lesson plan in respiratory system and it's major parts?
Introduction: Start by discussing the importance of the respiratory system in the body and its role in oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide. Major parts of the respiratory system: Explain the key components such as the nasal cavity, trachea, lungs, diaphragm, bronchi, and alveoli. Discuss their functions and how they work together to facilitate breathing. Demonstration: Show a model or diagram of the respiratory system and explain how air flows through each of the major parts during inhalation and exhalation. Activity: Engage students in a breathing exercise to demonstrate the movement of the diaphragm and expansion of the chest cavity during inhalation. Recap and assessment: Review the major parts of the respiratory system and their functions. Ask students to identify and describe each part to assess their understanding.
How do the nervous and respiratory system relate to each other?
Nervous system controls respiratory system .
What are its major parts describe each?
major parts
What does each part of the respiratory system do?
nothing...
What is the different common ailments of the respiratory system?
what the common ailments of the different organs of the respiratory system? Discuss each.
What are the functions of each organ of the respiratory system?
The organs in the respiratory system are responsible for you breathing. Please give me the 10 points!
How does the respiratory system interact with the endocrine system?
the endocrine system works with the respiratory system by making changes to your body for example when the parts in your respiratory system grow that is the growth hormones from your endocrine system working with your respiratory system.
How does the respiratory system rely on the immune system?
The respiratory system helps you to breathe and if you couldn't breathe correctly your immune system would go down. That is how these system rely on each other.
What are the parts of the respiratory system and give the function of each?
The major parts of the respiratory system include the lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The lungs are the primary organ where gas exchange occurs, the trachea and bronchi function to transport air to and from the lungs, and the bronchioles help regulate airflow. The alveoli are responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the bloodstream.
What term is used to describe places where moving parts meet or come near each other?
The term used to describe places where moving parts meet or come near each other is "interface." Interfaces are critical for ensuring proper functioning and communication between different components in a system.
