Air enters the respiratory systems of insects through a series of external openings called spiracles. These external openings, which act as muscular valves in some insects, lead to the internal respiratory system, a densely networked array of tubes called tracheae.
13 lip 2010 · The paired nasal bones form the external nose superiorly and two sets of paired cartilage inferiorly. The upper lateral cartilages provide the shape of the middle third of the nose and support for the underlying nasal valve. The paired lower lateral (alar) cartilages are butterfly-shaped and consist of medial and lateral crura.
The respiratory system allows the body to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. This process oxygenates the blood and removes carbon dioxide produced by respiring cells within the body. This article will cover the anatomical structures that form the respiratory system as well as the neurovascular supply to it. The Nasal Cavity
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...
Learning Objectives. By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the mechanisms that drive breathing. Discuss how pressure, volume, and resistance are related. List the steps involved in pulmonary ventilation. Discuss the physical factors related to breathing. Discuss the meaning of respiratory volume and capacities.
20 lip 2023 · The function of the pulmonary system is to extract oxygen from the environment and provide it for aerobic respiration at the cellular level. Oxygen is ultimately used to produce ATP, and carbon dioxide is breathed out with other metabolic byproducts.
