lecture 23: resp sys Flashcards
the respiratory system
network of organs and tissues that allow us to breathe and provide other structures w oxygen
connection to cardiovascular system
work together to…
- supply o2
- eliminate co2

- gas exchange
cardiovascular sys involved in:
- transport of substances containing gases
deoxygenated blood
SVC/IVC -> RA/RV -> Pulmonary AA
oxygenated blood
Pulmonary VV -> LA/LV -> Aorta
additional roles cardio and resp
speech
blood pH and regulation
filtration of air
