Study Notes
Respiratory System Overview
- The organ responsible for overseeing gas exchanges between the blood and external environment is the lungs.
Gas Exchange
- The exchange of gases takes place within the alveoli in the respiratory system.
Passageways to the Lungs
- The function of the passageways to the lungs is to allow air to reach the lungs.
Organs of the Respiratory System
- The liver is NOT an organ of the respiratory system.
Upper Respiratory Tract
- The main function of the upper respiratory tract is to purify, warm, and humidify the incoming air.
Air Purification
- The organ responsible for purifying, warming, and humidifying the incoming air is the nasal cavity.
Alveoli Function
- The function of the alveoli is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Upper Respiratory Tract Structures
- The structure NOT part of the upper respiratory tract is the diaphragm.
Trachea Function
- The function of the trachea is to allow air to pass through it to reach the lungs.
Olfactory Receptors
- The olfactory receptors are located in the nasal mucosa.
