Respiratory System
Part 1 Respiration
Cardiopulmonary system Respiratory and conducting divisions Three processes 1. Breathing 2. Exchange of gases 3. Use of oxygen
Respiration Pulmonary ventilation (breathing): movement of air into and out of the lungs Respiratory system External respiration: O2 and CO2 exchange between the lungs and the blood
Transport: O2 and CO2 in the blood Circulatory system Internal respiration: O2 and CO2 exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues Functional Anatomy Structures Nose Pharynx Larynx Trachea Lungs Bronchial tree Pleurae
Nasal cavity Oral cavity Nostril Pharynx
