    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.
