Study Notes
Respiratory System Components
- Consists of the lungs, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchial tubes.
- Air passageways facilitate the movement of air to and from the lungs.
Respiratory System Functions
- Transfers oxygen from inhaled air into the bloodstream, essential for cellular respiration.
- Removes carbon dioxide from the blood and expels it through exhalation, maintaining gas exchange balance.
- Plays a crucial role in regulating the acid-base balance of body fluids, impacting overall homeostasis.
- Produces sounds when air flows out of the lungs through the vocal cords, enabling communication.
