    Study Notes

    Respiratory System Components

    • The larynx (voice box) is responsible for producing sound for speaking, singing, or other verbal communication.

    Olfactory System Function

    • Olfactory receptors in the upper part of the nasal cavity are responsible for detecting odor molecules, allowing us to perceive different smells.

    Respiratory Defense Mechanisms

    • The mucociliary escalator, which consists of mucus and cilia, guards the respiratory surfaces from viruses and other foreign objects, trapping and removing them from the airways.

    ACEs (Angiotensin-Converting Enzymes) in Respiratory System

    • ACEs play a significant role in the respiratory system, as they help regulate blood pressure and fluid balance, which is essential for proper gas exchange in the lungs.

    Oxygen Supply

    • The lungs, which are the primary organs of the respiratory system, supply the body with oxygen necessary for cells to survive, exchanging oxygen from the air we breathe for carbon dioxide through the process of respiration.
