Respiratory System

The respiratory system includes the lungs and the airway. The questions in this category focus mainly on the anatomical and physiological processes associated with breathing.

2,890 Questions

What organs work with the respiratory excretory systems?

For the respiratory system: lungs, bronchi, trachea and larynx. For the excretory system: kidneys, blood vessles and urinary bladder. The skin is also partly an excretory organ.

What is the rate of respiration in running?

when running your breathing rate becomes very fast

How do you breathe using the diaphragm?

When you take a breath, the diaphragm contracts and when it does, it drops down. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity. Air pressure is now lower in it than outside. Air moves from a high pressure to a low pressure. Air rushes in and the reverse happens when the diaphragm relaxes.

When the rib muscles and diaphragm relax and the chest cavity becomes what?

When the diaphragm and muscles of the rib cage relax, the thoracic cavity becomes smaller. These changes occur during exhalation.

How does the respiratory system relate to cell respiration?

Cells found in plants and animals need fresh air. At the same time, they need to release the used air into the atmosphere. The respiratory system comes in handy in the two processes.

What cause respiratory infection?

infections that effect the repertory system

Does the respiratory system transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells?

The respiratory system is a vehicle for gases to get from the atmosphere into the body, but the respiratory system itself does not transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells.

When oxygen reaches the alveolar region of the lungs (that's to say, where the alveoli are located) oxygen is exchanged with red blood cells that take the oxygen to the rest of the body.

Why nitrogen does not comes to mouth it is the major gas and it is 75 percent oxygen is 25 percent in air it comes?

Nitrogen does enter the body. Remember, we don't breathe in just oxygen and carbon dioxide. we breathe in AIR and it contains many gases. We only utilize Oxygen for respiration. Though nitrogen is needed by our body, we only take it in the from of food in our diet.

The nitrogen we breathe in is an inert gas meaning it does not react with any substance. So the nitrogen we breathe in is breathed out eventually.

What is thr function of a lamella for gas exchange in fish?

Lamellae are thin, plate-like structures found within fish gills that increase the surface area available for gas exchange. They contain numerous capillaries, allowing for efficient oxygen absorption from water and the release of carbon dioxide. The close proximity of blood vessels to the water flow enhances the diffusion process, ensuring that fish can efficiently extract oxygen even in oxygen-poor environments. This specialized structure is crucial for the respiratory efficiency of fish.

What is correct order of conduction of air in respiratory system?

the correct order is: pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchioles, alveoli

How efficient is the respiratory system of a yak?

The respiratory rate of a yak increases with heat and at low altitudes, while at higher, cooler climates, the rate decreases. This helps the animal adjust to the varying climates.

How would you justify the statement The bronchioles are to the respiratory system what the arterioles are to the cardiovascular system?

Bronchioles means little bronchi and arterioles means, literally, little arteries. Since the bronchioles are in the respiratory system and the arterioles are in the cardiovascular system, this would be a fair comparison.

Does the diaphragm affect breathing?

Assocaited with respiratory system their is present a dome shaped daiphragm which is attached to phrenic muscles.the contraction of phrenic muscles causes diaphragm to become flat.this increases volume of thoracic cavity antero posteriorly

Where do the system start and ends?

The repertory system starts at the diaphragm and ends at the mouth and nose. Many may say it starts mouth and nose, but the diaphragm has to open up the lungs before the mouth and nose does it's job

Can you get the flu shot when wheezing?

It is usually good to not bombard your immune system with too many things at once, so it is commonly recommended that you not get a flu shot if you have a fever. The fever indicates that your body is already fighting something, and then it is best to wait until your are fever-free to get the vaccination. If you don't have a fever, then you can probably get the vaccination, but tell the clinician who will be giving you the vaccination about your breathing symptoms and they will decide if there is any reason not to give it to you.

If your wheezing is severe or you have not yet had it evaluated by a physician, it might be better to also wait to get the flu shot until after you have consulted with a health care professional about the wheeze and then to also ask about getting a flu shot.

Why you respire?

People need to breathe in order to stay alive. All the cells in your body require oxygen to move, work and break down food, so without oxygen you will literally die.
