Study Notes
Respiratory System
- The term for the air left in the lungs after forcefully exhaling is Residual Volume.
Nephron Functions
- Filtration, resorption, and secretion take place in the renal corpuscle of the nephron.
Breathing and Respiration
- The normal volume of air taken in during a normal quiet breath is approximately 500ml, known as the Tidal Volume.
- Apnea is the term for the cessation of breathing.
Sinuses and Respiration
- The role of sinuses in the respiratory system is to warm, humidify, and filter the air we breathe, as well as produce mucus to trap pathogens and allergens.
