The primary function of the respiratory system is gas exchange. 2. The trachea connects directly to the lungs without any branching. 3. Alveoli are the structures where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs. 4. The diaphragm is a muscle that aids in breathing. 5. Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways. 6. During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward. 7. During expiration, the intercostal muscles relax, causing the rib cage to move downward and inward. 8. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that affects the respiratory system. 9. The respiratory system does not interact with the circulatory system. 10. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy.
Understand the Problem
The question consists of multiple statements regarding the human respiratory system, where the user needs to determine if each statement is true or false. It focuses on the understanding of respiratory functions, structures, and related conditions.

More Information
The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to ensure oxygen is transported to tissues and carbon dioxide is removed. Gas exchange happens in the alveoli of the lungs, which connects to the bloodstream.
Tips
Avoid assuming direct connections without branching in anatomical systems. Understand the cooperative roles of body systems like respiratory and circulatory.
