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

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM WEBQUEST 1. Describe the function of the nasal and oral pharynx for breathing. The ph arynx is a muscular funnel that extends from the back of the nose to the larynx‚ or voice box. The nasal pharynx’s function is to allow air passage through it. The oral pharynx has both respiratory and digestive functions since it serves as a passageway for air‚ food‚ and water. 2. Describe the structure and function of the epiglottis. The epiglottis is one of the nine cartilagous structures

The Importance of Healthy Respiratory System Chong Xian Li Pn. Raja Faziatul 3Damar January 14‚ 2014 Introduction to the importance of a healthy respiratory system The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for the process of respiration in an organism. The respiratory system is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment‚ which means the quality of the air

Respiratory System A frog’s respiratory system is much different than humans. First‚ the lungs in a frog have thin walls and are shaped like balloons. When frogs swim‚ they fill their lungs with air‚ which helps them stay buoyant while swimming. Frogs also do not have diaphragms compared to humans. They only breathe through their nose. They use muscles in their throat sacs to help move the air in‚ and then is pushed to the lungs. During this time‚ their mouth is closed. Body contractions allow

This essay will explain the function of the respiratory‚ digestive and cardiovascular systems and how they work together to produce nutrients and oxygen to the cells for cellular respiration (energy for the body) The first system in the body is the digestive system. When food enters the mouth the salivary glands secrete saliva which mixes with the food. This makes it easy to chew and swallow. Once the food has been chewed enough the food travels down the oesophagus to the stomach. Once the food

The respiratory system carries out gas exchange; major organs in the system include: the nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ and lungs. The major function of the respiratory system is to supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide. In order for this to happen‚ at least four events called respiration must occur. The first is the pulmonary ventilation. The air must move in and out of the lungs so that the gases in the alveoli are continuously refreshed. This process is better known

of Group Members: Date: Introduction: In this lab‚ you will be examining many characteristics of a rat’s anatomy. Dissections help researchers get a 3-dimensional picture of how the systems of a body work together. Now you’ll have the opportunity to see how the respiratory‚ digestive and circulatory system are arranged spatially. The Classification of the Rat (Rattus norvegicus): Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Rodentia

Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory system that carries
