Study Notes
Overview of the Respiratory System
- The respiratory system, also known as the pulmonary system, is a group of organs that work together to oxygenate the body through breathing.
Functions of the Respiratory System
- Supplies the body with oxygen
- Eliminates carbon dioxide from the body
- Oversees gas exchanges between the blood and external environment
- Provides passageways for air to reach the lungs
- Purifies, humidifies, and warms incoming air
Anatomy of the Respiratory System
- The respiratory tract is divided into two sections: upper and lower respiratory tract, separated at the level of the vocal cords.
Test your knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system with this quiz. Explore the organs involved in respiration, the process of gas exchange in the lungs, and the overall function of the pulmonary system. This quiz will help you understand the fundamental concepts behind breathing and oxygenation.
