How does the respiratory system protect itself from potentially harmful substances in the air? Explain how the rate of breathing is controlled. Why does the respiratory system need the cardiovascular system to help it perform its main function of gas exchange?
30 paź 2023 · The main function of the respiratory system is pulmonary ventilation, which is the movement of air between the atmosphere and the lung by inspiration and expiration driven by the respiratory muscles. The respiratory system works as a whole to extract the oxygen from the inhaled air and eliminate the carbon dioxide from the body by exhalation.
The respiratory system transports oxygen from the air we breathe, through a system of tubes, into our lungs and then diffuses it into the bloodstream, whilst carbon dioxide makes the opposite...
The major organs of the respiratory system function primarily to provide oxygen to body tissues for cellular respiration, remove the waste product carbon dioxide, and help to maintain acid-base balance.
Through breathing, inhalation and exhalation, the respiratory system facilitates the exchange of gases between the air and the blood and between the blood and the body’s cells. The respiratory system also helps us to smell and create sound.
A butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve used to stop, regulate, and start the flow of liquids and gases. It features a disc mounted on a rotating shaft. When fully...
