The human respiratory system is one of the chief and most important which is very instrumental for survival. Prime function of the respiratory system is breathing. Inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide is all that takes plays by function of the respiratory organs. Breathing is a process by which oxygen in the air is brought in to the lungs and further in to close contact with blood. The blood absorbs the oxygen and carries to all parts of the body. Simultaneously blood gives up waste matter
Premium Oxygen Respiratory system Carbon dioxide
The respiratory system The respiratory system is responsible for providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide‚ heat and water vapours. All living creatures require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. Oxygen is required for every cell in your body to function. Structure of the respiratory system: Normally air is taken in through your nose however sometimes it is taken in through your mouth and passes through a series of airways to reach the lungs. This series of airways is known as the respiratory

Respiration. *The respiratory system consists of tubes that filter incoming air and transport it into the microscopic alveoli where gases are exchanged the entire process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells is called respiration and consists of the following: ventilation‚ gas exchange between blood and lungs‚ gas transport in the bloodstream‚ gas exchange between the blood and body cells‚ and cellular respiration *The organs of the respiratory tract can be divided into two

Respiratory system Asthma A chronic (long term) lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways‚ asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing ( a sound when you breathe)‚ chest tightness‚ shortness of breath‚ and coughing. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning. Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes with increased production of sticky secretions inside the tubes. People with asthma experience symptoms when that airways tighten‚ inflame or fill with mucus

The cough reflex is used to get things like irritants and fluid which causes us to have sputum out of the nasal passage and pharynx. The cilia or little hairs that are in our trachea is trying to move that mucus and crap from her lungs because they don’t want it there so when there is too much mucus it triggers the cough reflex try to get it out to make

The importance of the Respiratory system is quite obvious given that as human beings we need this system to help us with our most fatal tasks of breathing. Although the importance is assumed and acknowledged‚ many do not really get the whole concept of the Respiratory system. For example‚ how it works? Why it works? And what all is involved. These questions and others will be strategically answered in the following work. The Respiratory System delivers oxygen to the body and takes the carbon

Respiratory System Respiration: The primary function of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen gas for cell metabolism and remove carbon dioxide waste. Describe each of the following general processes of respiration. Ventilation- air is moved into and out of the lungs so the gases there are continuously changed and refreshed external respiration- oxygen diffuses from the lungs to the blood‚ and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the lungs gas transport- oxygen is transported
