Study Notes
Upper Respiratory System
- The nose and mouth collect air and filter out dust, pollen, and microorganisms.
Lower Respiratory System
- The main function of the lower respiratory system is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the process of respiration.
Upper Respiratory System Components
- The nasal cavity is part of the upper respiratory system.
Nasal Cavity Function
- The nasal cavity warms, humidifies, and filters the air we breathe, preparing it for the lungs.
Air Delivery
- The trachea (windpipe) delivers air to the lower respiratory organs, including the lungs.
