    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.
