Study Notes

Respiratory System

Consists of air passages and lungs that supply oxygen to the blood for cellular respiration and eliminate carbon dioxide from it.

Capillaries and Alveoli

Surround the alveoli where carbon dioxide is released and oxygen is absorbed.
Each alveoli is connected to an alveolar duct supplied by bronchioles within the lung.

Alveoli

The basic component of the lung where gas exchange occurs.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange with capillaries in the alveoli.
Both lungs contain approximately 300 million alveoli.

Diaphragm

The principal muscle of respiration.
