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.

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.
How do Bath Salts affect the respiratory system?
If you are referring to the designer drugs then I can tell that when I was in the hospital for overdoing bath salt drugs myself the attending told me that one man came in the hospital and had to have a lung removed due to bath salt use.
There are several organs that make up the respiratory system. Some of these include the nose, throat, lungs, alveoli, bronchi and the larynx.
This rare type of tularemia occurs when a person inhales a spray of infected fluid, or when the bacteria reach the lungs through the blood circulation. A severe pneumonia follows.
What role does the diaphragm play in the respiratory process?
during inhalation the diaphragm contracts chest expand lungs are pulled outwards and alveolar pressures decreases.during exhalation the diaphragm relaxers lungs recoil inward and alveolar pressure increases,forcing air out of the lungs.
Why do you breathe more quickly while exercising?
When you exercise, your body uses up more oxygen, which your body's cells need as fuel. You also produce more waste gas (carbon dioxide) because the cells are working harder. You breathe heavily when exercising because you need to expel more carbon dioxide than usual from your lungs and take in more oxygen than usual.
What is the primary responsibility of the upper respiratory tract?
The upper respiratory system removes gross particles from the air, warms and humidifies it, and passes it to the lower respiratory system.
What is the difference between the resparatory and rispiratory system?
The respiratory system deals with the lungs and intake of oxygen and excretion of carbon dioxide, while the cardiovascular system deals with the heart, arteries, veins, and capilaries and more specifically the transport of blood throughout the body.
and the lungs
What is pleura in respiratory system?
- Pleurae exists in order to allow the two membranes to slide against each other without friction. The surface of these membranes consist of an area made up of shiny flat cells called themesothelium. Only with the help of the pleurae can the pleural cavity function properly. When this fluid becomes infected or compromised, the results are often serious. In fact, this type of infection must be treated right away in order to avoid further complications.
- This portion of the lung area is extremely sensitive to pain and to bacteria. Frequently, the pleural cavity becomes infected with bacteria, which may cause inflammation. When a large amount of bacterial fluids collect between the pleural membranes, the result can be a serious infection known as pleurisy. Dry pleurisy occurs when no fluid is formed, but the area is still infected. Pain is often caused when the two membranes that make up the pleural cavity rub together. This can be caused by a number of conditions, including pneumonia, lung infections, and even kidney problems.
What are the organs that make up the respiratory system?
Three examples would be; lungs,diaphragm, and bronchi.
What is the respiratory system do?
The respiratory system is the system that supplies your cells with oxygen.
Many people call it 'the breathing system', but it is much more than that.
Your digestive system breaks up the food that is ingested into Glucose, but this alone cannot feed your cells. It needs a special ingredient called Oxygen to kick start the reaction that turns Glucose into Energy. Here is the word equation: GLUCOSE + OXYGEN ----> CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER + ENERGY.
So basically, when you breathe in, you are breathing in oxygen (well, actually, you are breathing in a mixture of gases but the surplus gases are stored in the lungs to be expelled) which reacts with the Glucose in the cells to produce said products. . The waste products (Carbon Dioxide and water) are then expelled one way or another.
So this explains why we breathe harder/faster when we are exercising or doing hard labour - because your cells need more energy so your body is drawing in more oxygen so that it can respire quicker.
The parts of the respiratory system are: The lungs, the diaphragm, the trachea, bronchi and general breathing apparatus. Even though the blood is used to carry the energy to cells, it isn't counted as part of the respiratory system. It is part of its own system, called the circulatory system, or the cardiovascular system.
