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.

What organs do the respiratory system depend on?
The circulatory system for one needs oxygenated blood to be transported from the lungs to the heart, and it needs the body to get rid of carbon dioxide from the blood through the lungs. :)
What consists of the respiratory conducting zone?
nostril,nasal cavity,epiglottis,trachea,bronchi,lungs,bronchioles,alveoli is
the answer
after the nasal cavity and trache air moves into the brinchi, into the bronchioles and intp the alveiolie where gases are exchanged (co2) carbon dioxide and (o2) oxygen
Cardiorespiratory fitness is the ability of the respiratory systems to efficiently transfer oxygen and nutrients to skeletal muscles.
How does carcinogens affect the respiratory system?
Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water can cause cancer in the skin, lungs, bladder and kidney. It can also cause other skin changes such as thickening and pigmentation. The likelihood of effects is related to the level of exposure to arsenic and in areas where drinking water is heavily contaminated, these effects can be seen in many individuals in the population. Increased risks of lung and bladder cancer and skin changes have been reported in people ingesting arsenic in drinking water atconcentrations of 50 µg/litre, or even lower.
Exposure to arsenic in the workplace by inhalation can cause lung cancer. The likelihood of cancer is related to the level and duration of exposure. Increased risks of lung cancer have been observed at exposure levels that add up to more than 750 (µg/m3).year. This figure is obtained by multiplying the average concentration in the workplace by the number of years of exposure (for example, 15 years of exposure to a workroom air concentration of 50 µg/m3 correspond to 750 (µg/m3).year). Smoking and arsenic exposure combined increase the risk of lung cancer.
As regards the possible method by which arsenic causes cancer, the evidence in humans indicates that arsenic can cause damage to whole chromosomes (clastogenic effects) but does not appear to cause damage to individual genes.
How does the material move from the respiratory system to the circular system?
Material moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system by diffusing across a membrane in the air sacks called alveoli.
What are all the organs and structures associated with the respiratory system?
i can tell you that the respiratory system has to do with breathing, like the nose, trachea, and lungs
How do the respiration and circulatory systems maintain correct body function during exercise?
well it is all connected so co2 gets around your body as you do exercise because your breathing much faster. lol
What is the maximum lung capacity of a human?
The man with the largest lung capacity is a 6'5" rower who now rows for team GB and won a silver medal in the Olympics recently I can not remember his name though.
His name is peter reed, he won gold in the Olympics in the coxless four, Australia came second.
What changes happen to respiratory system during exercise?
the circulatory system, the heart rate increases and blood flow increases to the exercising muscles, and lessens to the other parts of the body. Your respiratory system doesn't change except for the amount of air flow. (Addition): When your heart rate increases from anything in general, you tend to breathe heavier and faster depending on the amount of pressure your heart is being put into.
What body system does the bronchial tubes belong to?
Answer=Respiratory System.
Extra info....The following all belongs to Respiratory System.
1.Trachea
2.Bronchi and
3.Bronchioles
What does tar do to the respiratory system?
it slows down breathing and fills lings with a coat of thick liquid and make breathing tough.
When you exhale air flows through the respiratory structures in which sequence?
Multiple Choice:
A. Alveolus, Bronchiole, Bronchus, Larynx, Trachea, Pharynx, nasal Cavity
B. Alveolus, Trachea, Bronchus, Bronchiole, Larynx, Pharynx, Nasal Cavity
C. Alveolus, Bronchus, Bronchiole, Trachea, Larynx, Pharynx, Nasal Cavity
D. Alveolus, Bronchiole, Bronchus, Trachea, Larynx, Pharynx, Nasal Cavity
The correct sequence is Letter D.
For all of you who are looking up this question because your anatomy teacher using the Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology assigned the stupid Multiple Choice to you, you are so very welcome.
The worst habit that damages the respiratory system and also shortens life is smoking. Not e-cigarettes, which produce a vaporized nicotine, but regular ones. These produce smoke particles and tar which damage the cilia of the upper tract. These little hair-like projections move mucous that has these particles and tar imbedded in it. These cilia move the dirty mucous up and in to the throat where it is swallowed and then destroyed by the stomach acids.
If the smoke, tar and other dirty particles remain in the lungs, breathing can become very difficult and the very lungs are damaged.
Sinuses are apart of your upper respitory tract, but the upper respitory tract also includes the nasal cavity, the pharynx and the larynx. A sinus infection is just an infection in your paranasal sinuses.
Does the respiratory system warm air as it enters the body?
Yes it does. The nose is designed with conchae or turbinates that provide a pathway, meatus, that causes the air to touch the walls as it passes through. The nasal cavity is highly vascular, hence nose bleeds, that warm the air as it passes by.
The pharynx is an anatomical region that is located posterior to the oral and nasal cavities. There are muscles that make up the pharynx including the superior pharyngeal constrictor, the palatopharyngeus, stylopharyngeus and salpingopharyngeus.
It's more of a muscular tube than an actual muscle.
When you breathe out what do you get rid of?
We inhale air. Our lungs filter out the needed oxygen which is sent to the tissues of our body. In the process, the lungs get rid of waste by exhaling carbon dioxide.
Why do large organisms need special respiratory surfaces?
First off the Respiratory System is made up of all the organs in your body that help you breathe. Now, all living things have their own way of breathing, some are similar to humans, others not. Most are though. Certain sea creatures, like the sponge and such, no. I'm not sure what you have in mind for "complex animals" because even our bodily functions are complex, but in any case all living things need to breathe, so that is why "complex animals" have, and need a respiratory system. Hope that helps!
What gas leaves your body in the respiratory system?
it not farts....who puts farts as a gas? it is but no its carbon dixode
Where does oxygen move from the respiratory system to circulatory system?
By diffusion across q capillary wall
Do lions breath in carbon dioxide?
As there is a low level of carbon dioxide in the air that animals (and people) breath, yes every breath taken in breaths in some carbon dioxide.
But as carbon dioxide in the blood is transferred to the air in the lungs, increasing the level of carbon dioxide in that air, when they breath out both the carbon dioxide breathed in and the additional carbon dioxide from the blood are breathed out. Thus in balance more carbon dioxide is breathed out than is breathed in.
