Study Notes
Respiratory System
- The trachea is located below the larynx in the throat.
- The sinuses produce mucous, regulate air temperature and humidity, and resonate the voice.
- The pharynx (throat) is a passageway for both food and air, playing a crucial role in swallowing and breathing.
- The nasal cavity warms, humidifies, and filters the air we breathe, and contains small hair-like structures called cilia that help remove dust and debris.
Diaphragm Location
- The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located beneath the lungs, separating the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity.
