    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.
