3.Pharynx - Epiglottis
- Larynx
movement of air out of the lungs or BREATHING
pulmonary ventilation
exchange of gasses that occurs between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries
external respiration
involves the circulatory system, which transport gases between the lungs and the tissues
transport of gases
refers to the exchange of gases that occurs between the blood and body tissues
internal respiration
serves as the passageway of air into the lungs
conducting zone
respiratory zone consist of structures that facilitate the actual gas exchange
respiratory zone
it helps moisten, warm, and filter the incoming air
nose
consist of vibrissae and cilia, which filter the air
nasal cavity
the throat serves as a passageway for both air and food into the esophagus
pharynx
the cartilaginous structure helps close the entrance to the trachea when swallowing food
epiglottis
this structure helps in sound production and also protects the trachea from food aspiration
larynx
