The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.
Parts of system
This picture shows main parts of the Respiratory System.
There are 3 main parts, the airway, the lungs, and
the muscles of respiration.
Pharynx
Larynx
For the digestive system, its muscular walls function in the process of swallowing, and it serves as a pathway for the movement of food from the mouth to the esophagus.
Mouth
Allowing air to pass through it while keeping food and drink from blocking the airway. The larynx is also the body's “voice box” as it contains the vocal folds that produce the sounds of speech and singing.
Name, title
The mouth works with the respatory system by how you take in the oxeygen. Air comes into the body through the nose or mouth, and enters the airways. Airways are the tubes that carry air into our lungs.
The trachea is a wide, hollow tube that connects the larynx (or voice box) to the bronchi of the lungs. It is an integral part of the body's airway and has the vital function of providing air flow to and from the lungs for respiration
The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary organs of the respiratory system are lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe
Functions of this system:
Respiration, oxygen from incoming air enters the blood, and carbon dioxide, a waste gas from the metabolism, leaves the blood. A reduced lung function means that the ability of lungs to exchange gases is reduced.
Illustration of parts:
The gas exchange process is performed by the lungs and respiratory system. Air, a mix of oxygen and other gases, is inhaled. In the throat, the trachea, or windpipe, filters the air.
Diseases of the system:
Asthma:
Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance.
Lung cancer:
Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance.
A person usually breathes an average of 13 pints of air every minute.
2. Lungs aren’t the same size. To accommodate the heart, the right lung is larger than the left lung — for humans, that is.
3. Lungs float on water. It’s not something most people are aware of but, actually, the lungs are the only organs in the human body that are capable of floating on water.
