This essay will explain the function of the respiratory‚ digestive and cardiovascular systems and how they work together to produce nutrients and oxygen to the cells for cellular respiration (energy for the body) The first system in the body is the digestive system. When food enters the mouth the salivary glands secrete saliva which mixes with the food. This makes it easy to chew and swallow. Once the food has been chewed enough the food travels down the oesophagus to the stomach. Once the food

Phoenix Material Roderick Tabigne Respiratory System Lab – Week Six Introduction The respiratory system consists of the upper respiratory tract (the nasal cavity‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ and bronchi) and the lower respiratory tract (the lungs). As you learn about the various diseases that affect the respiratory system‚ it is important for you to understand the structures that can be affected by disease. Complete this lab to become familiar with a healthy system and to identify diseases related to

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Respiratory System Organs and Its Functions Introduction to the respiratory system organs: The respiratory system is the system of the human body by which it produces energy needed for life processes. This energy is produced by the breaking down of glucose molecules in all living cells of the human body. Introduction to the respiratory system organs: In simple terms‚ Oxygen taken in to the body through air breathed in is transported to all parts of the body‚ and it

Respiratory General Questions 1. What is the function of the epiglottis? a. The main function of the epiglottis is to prevent food and other particles from gaining entry into the trachea and other airways. 2. Do you see any anatomical reason why the right lung has more lobes than the left lung - and is subsequently larger and heavier? a. The right lung may be larger and heavier because it has more room to develop as such. The heart is roughly centered in the chest cavity; however‚ it is slightly

adaptations allowing the elephant to remain underwater for long periods of time while breathing through its trunk which emerges as a snorkel.[4] Birds The main section for this topic is on the page Bird anatomy‚ in the section Respiratory system. The respiratory system of birds differs significantly from that found in mammals‚ containing unique anatomical features such as air sacs. The lungs of birds also do not have the capacity to inflate as birds lack a diaphragm and a pleural cavity. Gas exchange
