Respiratory System
- The alveoli, tiny air sacs located at the end of bronchioles, are responsible for gas exchange between the lungs and the circulatory system.
- The visceral pleura, a thin layer of tissue, directly lines the thoracic visceral cavity and adheres to lung tissue.
- The mediastinum, a region in the thoracic cavity, contains the heart and great vessels, esophagus, and trachea.

- The upper respiratory tract consists of the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx.
