Respiratory System

The respiratory system does "take away" carbon dioxide by replacing it with oxygen, through breathing. Exhaling causes the body to expel carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen.

You exhale because you're body is getting rid of the gases so the oxygen can come into your lungs.

Mostly your lungs.

The respiratory system is one way of heat exchange in the human body and a higher external temperature makes this less efficient. As heat goes up, the rate of respiration increases as well, putting a higher strain on the lungs.

smoking that will affect the lungs

Atmospheric air pressure is about 100kPa but there is no net pressure on your skin because pressures inside and outside your body are equal In more common terminology, average ambient air pressure at sea level is 14.7lbs per square inch.

Carbon dioxide and blood pH modify reparatory rate and depth.

capillaries

Advantages of breathing through the nose are :

1- The tiny capillaries in the nose warms up air before going in to the lungs.

2- The nose hair traps any unwanted bodies and dust .

Breathing through the nose has its advantages, but it also comes at a price as many people get headaches after breathing through the nose too much. It is also known to aggravate those around you.

Nasal Cavity

because the diaphragm helps the lungs with the breathing.<3

Three factors are ideal for high gas exchange between bloodstream and alveoli: # Large surface area- Hundreds of thousands of alveoli, each one shaped as a spherical sac, increase the surface area massively to increase the volume gases that can be taken up. # Large concentration grad.- fast-moving blood flow maintains a steep conc. gradient. # Small diffusion distance-The distance for O2 and CO2 is roughly two cells thick ie. 40 micrometres.

The Circulatory System pumps blood and the Respiratory and Digestive System carry it though your body.

I have just been discharged from hospital after my third pulmonary embolism and second in a year. I think it helps to get to hospital as soon as poss if you are having symptoms.

Aerobic means "with oxygen" and anaerobic means "without oxygen." Cells produce energy at a might higher and faster rate with oxygen than without.

The Process of the Respiratory System I am a Respiratory Therapist, so this is easy for me. During inspiration, air(gas) enters either through the nose or the mouth. As the air reaches the throat it becomes warmed and humidified and then passes into the trachea. It follows the trachea down into the bronchi then to the bronchioles(smaller versions of the bronchi) then into the alveoli. The alveoli are tiny sacs at the end of the bronchioles that look like clusters of grapes. After the air(gas) enters the alveoli, the oxygen from the air crosses the alveolar-capillary membrane and enters the blood. The blood then carries the oxygen to the organs of the body. During expiration, as the oxygen in the alveoli is entering the blood, carbon dioxide leaves the blood, enters the alveoli and is breathed out.

They are called the aveolar sacs .they consists of aveoles and the exchange of gases takes place here.

The respiratory system supplies the body with O2 (respiration). This system also disposes of CO2 (ventilation). The respiratory system houses the olfactory receptors. Gas exchange between blood and air in the alveoli(external respiration)Gas exchange between the blood and cellular tissue (internal respiration).

Goblet cells are in the respiratory epithelium, which lines the airways from the pharynx down into the lungs. They secrete mucous.

Food normally goes in your throat when you swallow. A coordinated swallow reflex, controlled partially by the tongue, helps you control the timing of swallowing.

Usually it is pink, black, brown, or another color.

two lungs are surrounded by pleura , which is responsible for transmural pressure that makes the lungs inflated by gas when there is inspiratory process.

so when the puncture happens wherever the site , the pleura will lose its negative pressure , as a result Both lungs will collapse

it is late answer according to your Q time , but arriving late better than not arriving at all ^_^

i hope i could answer the Q

Yes it does, it is the respiratory system, meaning breathing system. :D

The nose, nasal cavity, epiglottis, larynx, trachea, and the left & right bronchus.
