Respiratory System Structure and Function
- Role: Provides energy to the body
- Respiratory Pathways:
- Nasal Cavity (Nasal passages)
- Pharynx (throat)
- Larynx (voice box):
- Composed of cartilage (3 pairs)
- Prominent in males (Adam's apple)
- Trachea (windpipe):
- Cartilage support structure
- Bronchi (branches):
- Cartilage support structure
- Nasal Cavity Lining:
- Mucous membrane
- Cilia (tiny hair-like structures) to trap and remove particles
- Glands that produce mucus to trap particles
- Nasopharynx:
- Part of the throat
- Passageway for air and food
