Lung Capacity in this lab‚ I learned about lung capacity and CO2 production. Lung capacity simply means the maximum amount of air you can take into your lungs. Lung capacity and CO2 production closely relate to the respiratory system. The respiratory system is the system in which oxygen goes into your body and carbon dioxide comes out; In short it’s breathing. The structures involved in the respiratory system are mouth/nose‚ mucus/cilia‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ alveoli‚ pleura‚ and

The lungs are made up of many types of tissue; the cartilages‚ ciliated epithelium‚ smooth muscle‚ squamous epithelium‚ elastic fibres and goblet cells and glandular tissue. The cartilage is a very stiff and flexible tissue‚ which doesn’t contain air vessels. It is found in trachea‚ bronchus‚ bronchiole and alveolus‚ and it has a structural role. It support‚ and gives strength to trachea and bronchi. It holds the airways open for the resistance with little airway. This prevents it from collapse
