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 composes the respiratory system?
The lungs, alveoli, diaphragm, nasal cavity, trachea, intercoastal muscle, bronchi, oesophagus.
How has the mountain goats respiratory system adapted permantly to different altitudes?
The mountain goats respiratory system is adapted permanently to different altitudes. This is because it is the cellular respiratory system which allows it to survive the low oxygen climate.
How are the respiratory and the digestive systems similar?
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, veins and arteries. Which are all part of the network which moves blood around your body.
Your respiratory system is your lungs and airways. This system is responsible for gas exchange (taking in oxygen and expelling CO2).
They work hand in hand, your respiratory system takes in oxygen and passes it into your cardiovascular system, which transports it to all of your muscles and organs. The muscles and organs pass back CO2 which is then expelled through your respiratory system.
What are some threats to the respiratory system?
Some known threats to the immune system are:Asthma, Pollution, Cancer, and multiple other things so keep your lungs healthy and don't try breathing when drinking or eating because the food or liquid will go into your lungs and possibly damage them.
What is normal respiratory movement?
In
Out
In
Out
In...
Normal respiratory movements include rib cage expansion, diaphragm contraction and downward movement, abdominal contractions, lung expansion, opening of veins and arteries in chest, heart rate increase during inhalation and increase of thoracic cavity
What is the medical term meaning the amount of air that can be inspired above the tidal volume?
Inspiratory reserve volume is the volume you can inhale past the normal tidal volume.
What tissue is the walls of the alveoli composed of?
the walls of the alveoli are very thin but strong layers of elastic tissue lines with a single layer of flattened epithelium.
How emphysema reduce the efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs?
Emphysema and asthma both cause fluid buildup in the lungs and airways causing the body to work harder in order to provide oxygen to the body and to release carbon dioxide from the body. Asthma can also cause airway inflammation.
Is gullet a respiratory system?
The gullet is part of the digestive system. The gullet is also called the esophagus.
What are the signs and symptoms for ailments of the circulatory system?
Shortness of breath, pain in the left chest, left arm pain.
What organ serves as a respiratory organ for the fetus?
The lungs of the mother breath in the air. The lungs put the oxygen in the red blood cells. The blood flows through the walls of the uterus and through the umbilical cord into the blood stream of the fetus. The venus blood supply returns through a vein in the cord back into the mother and the lungs and the cycle repeats until the cord is cut.
Why is the respiratory system important for physical activity?
The respiratory system allows the body to both fuel itself with oxygen, and dispose of its waste gases.
In this context, the respiratory system draws oxygen into the body, and allows it to be absorbed into the blood. This oxygen will eventually make its way to skeletal muscles, and be used in aerobic metabolism.
How does the respiratory system develop in a tadpole?
Well, a tadpole, devolopes its lungs when the lungs start to grow.
What will happen to your diaphragm and chest cavity as you inhale and exhale?
The lung expands when it gets full of air , so the chest needs to do the same ,because if it didn't the lungs wouldn't fit in there when they get full , and that would be a terrible mistake of our body.
Are there any specific foods you should not eat to keep your respiratory system healthy?
No foods actually harm the respiratory system, BUT some foods can aggravate other problems that then affect the respiratory system. For example, high acidic foods can cause "acid reflux". Acid reflux can come up the esophagus and irritate the throat and airway.
What 2 gases are important to human respiration?
The two gases primarily involved in the respiratory process are oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How smoking effects heart and respiratory system?
- Raised blood pressure and heart rate
- Constriction (tightening) of blood vessels in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperature
- Less oxygen carried by the blood
- Stickier blood, which is more prone to clotting
- Damage to the lining of the arteries, which is thought to be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis (the buildup of fatty deposits on the artery walls)
- Reduced blood flow to extremities like fingers and toes
- Increased risk of stroke and heart attack due to blockages of the blood supply.
- Causes bad chemicals to be taken to your heart
What type of cartilage lines the larynx?
Hyaline cartilage.
These are marked (under microscope of HE stain) by their translucent appearance with rounded cells (sometimes they also appear to be shaped like one of those Japanese triangular rice balls).
What does a jellyfish breathe?
Jellyfish breathe by gas diffusion through all the surface of their body.
Jellyfish do not need a respiratory system since their skin is thin enough that the body is oxygenated by diffusion. That means that they absorb the oxygen then need from the oxygen in the water.
Jellyfishes breath by gas diffusion through the entire outer surface of their body.
What is a normal reading on a voldyne 5000?
The objective of it is to be able to breath in slowly (trying to keep the float on the left hand side in the BEST box as much as possible and try and get the main float in the body (with all the measurement in ml. 500, 1000 etc.) and trying to get the float as high as possible without breathing out or taking a break, you can use the yellow guide marker (that what I'm going to call it) on the right side of the main body to keep a guide for you to see how far you can or did go, the main goal is to be able to improve or exercise your lungs due to any injury such as collapsed lungs and get them back in working order hope this helps :)
Respiratory system of a snake?
Unlike the mammals,the snake's resp system contains a long right lung & a small left lung.The longer lung covers almost two third of the body.The shorter one is the rudimentary one. The utility of such a long lung is well understandable in snakes that,while negotiating a swalloed prey item,there might long period of air hunger.when vital oxygination of cells could take place from residual lung air. Amazingly snakes could tolerate very low conc of oxygen to survive.

How does oxygen help in your breathing?
It doesn't help, its almost the entire purpose of breathing which is to get enough oxygen fast enough to maintain our aerobic metabolism. When breathing fails to get enough oxygen fast enough the body must switch back to more primitive fermentation anaerobic metabolism, which produces lactic acid and the resulting buildup of lactic acid in tissues causes pain.
What can cause red bumps on the back of your throat?
A cold usually comes along with other things, sometimes flu, strep throat, etc. and the reason that is is because coughs and colds lower your immune system, the body is fighting the cold and it lowers the immune system allowing other virus's and germs to get in this also includes allergies
