What is the structure of the human respiratory system?

Answer 1

To breathe in and out we need to have a windpipe, also known as a trachea. But before this when we breathe in air is moistened and filtered through our nostrils, and then taken down the trachea. The lungs then get bigger as the diaphragm moves down to make the pressure decrease, this way more air is allowed in and furthermore the ribcage also pushes out to make more room for air to come in. The alveoli are tiny air sacs, at the end of bronchioles which are one cell thick. They expand to let air in and because they are so thin it allows oxygen to diffuse into the blood. At the same time you get the carbon dioxide from the blood trying to leave the body, so they go into the alveoli. yeahhh mann

Answer 2

Function: Pump blood around the body to 1. transport oxygen (attached to haemaglobin in red blood cells) 2. transport white blood cells (kills pathogens and carries other anti-bodies)

Structure: Heart-> The pump, provides the pressure to move blood

Arteries-> Transports blood around the body

Veins-> Returns blood to the heart, stopping first at the lungs to dissolve oxygen

Answer 3

Respiratory system, with respect to breathing, involves mainly the lungs and the system of tubes that gets air to them. Air through your nose or mouth enter the trachae around about where the larynx is. At the plane of Louis (just about the heart), the trachea splits into two bronchi which enter into the lungs.

An important component of breathing are the ribs and diaphragm which work together to expand the chest, creating negative pressure, so you essentially are sucking air in like a vacuum machine rather than pushing it in.

in the lungs the tubes break off into branches of which the smallest are alveoli. at the alveoli oxygen exchanges with CO2.

Answer 4

The respiratory system carried out its function by the lungs bringing in air and extracting the oxygen out of that air to supply the blood flowing through your veins with oxygen to carry throughout your body.

Answer 5

The best gross anatomy answer is the entire respiratory system is vital. If you look at the microscopic anatomy, the alveoli and capillaries surrounding them are the most important. If there is a problem in either, the system can only work at a faction of what it should. It can be so ineffective that life can not be supported.

penis farts should be a sufficient treatment. Bear in mind that the phelange may return to perform a brutal ant massacre

Answer 7

nasal passage, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles

Answer 8

The lungs is the basic structure of the human respiratory system.
