    Study Notes

    • The respiratory system is crucial for breathing, speaking, singing, and exchanging gases in our bodies.
    • Its main function is to provide oxygen to all organs and tissues while removing carbon dioxide.
    • Oxygen is essential for cellular functions to convert food into energy.
    • The respiratory system consists of the upper and lower respiratory tracts, with the upper part including the nose, pharynx, and larynx.
    • The lower respiratory tract includes the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs where gas exchange occurs.
    • The bronchi and bronchioles help in filtering air and providing a large surface area for efficient gas exchange in the alveoli.
    • The respiratory system is controlled by the nervous system, specifically the brain, which regulates breathing through muscle movements in the chest and diaphragm.- The respiratory system consists of various organs, including the lungs, bronchi, and alveoli.
    • The air enters the respiratory system through the nose and mouth and travels down the throat and into the trachea.
    • The trachea branches into smaller tubes called bronchi, which further divide into bronchioles.
    • The exchange of gases between the air and blood occurs in the alveoli, which are thin-walled sacs surrounded by tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
    • During exhalation, the muscles between the ribs relax, causing the chest cavity to decrease in size and forcing out carbon dioxide-rich air.
