Respiratory of the Human Body

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 dioxide away. This system is made up of organs that allow you the ability to breath. These organs are the Lungs, Trachea, Bronchi, and the Diaphragm. The lungs are considered the main organ of the system. It takes in the oxygen and releases the carbon dioxide. How this happens is the red blood cells take oxygen to the body and take the carbon dioxide to the lungs, and this allows us to breath. The trachea cleans the air that we breathe in, it works as a filter. This filter flows into the bronchi, which is the next organ. The bronchi carries the air into the lungs, this is the two tubes that are coming of the trachea. The diaphragm is where everything begins, your breathing starts here. This is the muscle in this system used when breathing. Respiratory Homoeostasis is the movement of blood gas composition. If anything moves out the homeostatic range the change is noticed by the chemoreceptor, which is a sense organ. This then alerts the repertory response that a change in the alveolar ventilation. This happens by a lot of oxygen pressure put in the alveoli either by oxygen-enriched gas mixtures or improving the alveoli ventilation. (Clancy J., McVicar A.) The interaction with the respiratory system and the organ system is vital. Communication allows our body’s to adjust the function of each organ according to the needs of the whole body. Oxygen is most important as it keeps us alive as body cells need it for energy and growth. With each
