- Breathing is controlled by the diaphragm and costal muscles, and the pleura lubricates the lungs to expand and contract smoothly.
- Oxygen forms oxyhemoglobin and is transported to cells where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide and transported back to the lungs as carboxyhemoglobin.
- The lungs are vulnerable to particles and irritants such as bacteria, tobacco smoke, and allergens that can cause lung infections and diseases.
Anatomy and Function of the Nervous and Respiratory Systems
- The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, with the brain and spinal cord being part of the former.
- The brain is made up of paired hemispheres, the cerebellum, and the brain stem, and has four interconnected ventricles filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
- The cerebral hemispheres control the sensomotory activities of the body, memory, and intelligence, while the cerebellum controls coordinated movement and balance.
- The brain stem contains nerve centers that control automatic functions such as heartbeat and breathing, and the peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves throughout the body.
- The spinal cord runs through the vertebral column and is divided into cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacrococcygeal regions.
- Nerves can be motor, sensory, or sensomotory, and the autonomic nervous system controls the work of smooth muscles, heart, and blood vessels.
- The respiratory system includes the respiratory tract and lungs, and the nasal cavity filters, moistens, and warms the air before it enters the respiratory system.
- The pharynx connects the nasal passage with the larynx and the mouth with the esophagus, and the larynx contains the vocal cords responsible for the voice.
- The lungs exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen, and each lung has about 300 million alveoli where this exchange takes place.
- Breathing is controlled by the diaphragm and costal muscles, and the pleura lubricates the lungs to expand and contract smoothly.
- Oxygen forms oxyhemoglobin and is transported to cells where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide and transported back to the lungs as carboxyhemoglobin.
