Research Paper The Respiratory System As humans‚ our body is made out of different systems‚ which work together to make us live day by day. One major system is the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes the nose (the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses)‚ pharynx (throat)‚ larynx (voice box)‚ trachea (windpipe)‚ bronchi‚ and the lungs. The respiratory system begins from our respiratory tracts that carry air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs. Respiratory tract can be divided

Anatomy of the Respiratory System Nose and Nasal Cavity The nose and nasal cavity form the main external opening for the respiratory system and are the first section of the body’s airway—the respiratory tract through which air moves. The nose is a structure of the face made of cartilage‚ bone‚ muscle‚ and skin that supports and protects the anterior portion of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is a hollow space within the nose and skull that is lined with hairs and mucus membrane. The function

The respiratory system The respiratory system is responsible for providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide‚ heat and water vapours. All living creatures require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. Oxygen is required for every cell in your body to function. Structure of the respiratory system: Normally air is taken in through your nose however sometimes it is taken in through your mouth and passes through a series of airways to reach the lungs. This series of airways is known as the respiratory

Aguilar Prof. Ivan Marcelo Duka G-7L BIO 2 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The Respiratory system consists of organs and tissues that aid the oxygen to travel in the body and emits the waste gases out of the body. It is also called as the oxygen delivery system for it is the system responsible in delivering the oxygen to all parts of the body. The process of breathing‚ the inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide‚ is called respiration. Respiration can be described

The Respiratory System The human respiratory system plays a very important part in our bodies. Without it‚ we wouldn’t be alive! We need air to move through our bodies at all times. Breathing‚ is a key necessity for life. Our respiratory system is made up of many organs that all work together. The goal of breathing is to deliver oxygen to the body and take away carbon dioxide. The respiratory system organs all work together‚ like a engine in a car‚ they all have a important role. Some
