Question 1

What are the three functions of the respiratory system

Answer 1

1. Warm, moisten, and filter incoming air
2. Provides resonating chambers used on speech and sound production
3. Carbon dioxide exchange

Question 2

How does the respiratory system function in providing resonating chambers used in speech and sound production

Answer 2

Larynx generates sound

Nose provides a resonating chamber for speech sounds

Question 3

How does the respiratory system function in carbon dioxide and gas exchange

Question 21

large sets of branches that come off the trachea and enter the lungs, passageway for air

Answer 21

bronchi

Question 22

what bronchi is more vertical, wider, and shorter than the left which means inhaled objects are more likely to get lodged in

Answer 22

right bronchi

Question 23

bronchi divide to form smaller tubes called

Answer 23

bronchioles
