type II alveolar cells
Your respiratory system becomes mature in last few weeks of the gestation. Premature babies get problem in respiration. They do not have surfactant in there respiratory system. You have yo give corticosteroid shots to mother, if you plan to deliver her prematurely.
Surfactant helps reduce surface tension within the alveoli, thus preventing each alveolus from callapsing as air moves in and out during respiration.
There is really no known body system that is referred to as the excretory system, but instead many other body systems contribute to the process: Respiratory, Alimentary, Integumentary, and Urinary systems are among the major ones. ..
The respiratory system
The respiratory system brings in air containing oxygen, and the oxygen is absorbed by the circulatory system. Capillaries surrounding the alveoli absorb inhaled oxygen into the blood.
The larynx belongs to the respiratory system. It plays a crucial role in phonation and protecting the airway during breathing by housing the vocal cords and containing structures such as the epiglottis.
Ciliated epithelium secretes mucus, which helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract or reproductive system.
Circulatory system delivers blood (containing oxygen) to cells.
The respiratory system is the system that handles breathing.
The Respiratory System
A tube containing cilia is called a trachea. The trachea is part of the respiratory system and it helps to move mucus and debris away from the lungs by the beating action of the cilia.
The trachea is the airway in the respiratory system.
