Q

Respiratory system: Functions

A
  • Primary responsibility for the exchange of the gases - oxygen and carbon dioxide - between the atmospheric air, blood, and tissues
  • Also has an important role in regulating body fluid pH
  • System can be divided into conducting portion and the respiratory portion

Q

Larynx: Functions

A
  1. A connecting passageway between the pharynx and the trachea
  2. Epiglottis works as a “trap door” to prevent food and liquid from entering inferior airways
  3. Vocal cords vibrate to produce sound

Q

Trachea and bronchi: Function

A
  1. Trachea is a passageway for air between the larynx and where it branches into the bronchi in the lungs
  2. The bronchial tree continues to branch in the lungs to ultimately provide for passage of air to the alveolar ducts

Q

Lungs: Functions

A
  1. The alveolus is the site of gas exchange - the intake of oxygen for delivery to cells and the elimination of carbon dioxide produced by cells
  2. The bronchiole regulates the flow of air to the alevoli

21
Q

Fallopian tubes: Components

A
  • Uterine (fallopian) tubes
