function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe‚ we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. The regulation of breathing is the result of a complex interaction involving a system of sensors‚ a respiratory control center‚ and an effector system to carry out its

There are many type of disease that can affect the Respiratory system. The disease that can affect this system is Lung Cancer‚ Bronchitis‚ Emphysema and Pneumonia. The disease that can affect the system as well is called Asthma. This disease is one of the common diseases I’ve known beside lung cancer. Asthma is a lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. When the airways get inflamed‚ it causes the airways to become swollen and the muscles around it tighten. This makes it difficult for

The human body has to be controlled from advanced systems internally of which connect in order to function effectively. There are ten main systems within the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed

The function of the digestive system is to absorb and assimilate key nutrients which are required to maintain and regulate other systems in the body. Enzymes secreted within the digestive system have a role of breaking down food from proteins into amino acids‚ starch into glucose and fats into a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the

Respiratory System: Study Guide The respiratory system provides for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide of the body. - In terrestrial vertebrae’s‚ the respiratory system includes 3 steps: 1. Breathing: Inspiration (inhaling oxygen) and Expiration (exhaling carbon dioxide) 2. External exchange- Gas exchange between the AIR and BLOOD in lungs. Blood then transfers oxygen to the tissue cells. 3. Internal exchange- Gas exchange between the BLOOD & TISSUE FLUID and between the CELLS & TISSUE FLUID

The structures and functions of organs determine their relationships within body systems of an organism. Homeostasis allows the body to perform its normal functions. Explain how the circulatory system (heart‚ arteries‚ veins‚ capillaries‚ red blood cells) transports nutrients and oxygen to cells and removes cell wastes
