Study Notes
Respiratory System Components
- Mouth and nose are openings that allow air from outside the body to enter the respiratory system
- Sinuses are hollow areas in the head bones that regulate the temperature and humidity of inhaled air
- Pharynx (throat) is a tube that directs air from the mouth and nose to the trachea (windpipe)
- Trachea is a passage connecting the throat and lungs, enabling air flow between them
- Bronchial tubes are tubes at the bottom of the windpipe that branch into each lung
- Lungs are the two organs responsible for extracting oxygen from the air and transferring it to the bloodstream
