Study Notes

The respiratory system, also known as the breathing system, consists of components like the nose, mouth, trachea, lungs, and blood.
Main processes of the respiratory system include breathing, gas exchange, and cellular respiration.
Components of the breathing system include the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and ribs.
The function of the breathing system is to transport oxygen to body cells and remove carbon dioxide.
Breathing involves inhalation (air moving into the lungs) and exhalation (air forced out of the lungs).
Gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and blood in the lungs, where oxygen moves into the blood and carbon dioxide moves out.
At a cellular level, gas exchange happens between blood capillaries and body cells.
Health issues related to the respiratory system include bronchitis (swelling of bronchi lining), asthma (caused by allergies), lung cancer (often due to smoking), pneumonia (viral infection), and tuberculosis (bacterial infection).
