    Gas Exchange in Mammals The mammalian respiratory system consists of the nasal cavity‚ pharynx‚ glottis‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles and air sacs (alveoli). The respiratory passages are lined by the presence of cilia and mucus-secreting cells‚ which keep them moist and trap dust‚ dirt and bacteria. The lungs are encased a rib cage. The rib cage is composed of the breastbone or sternum and ribs. At the bottom of the rib cage is a muscular diaphragm. Breathing in mammals. During inhalation

    An explanation of the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. (P4) In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body‚ the Respiration system and the Digestive system. I will start off by giving a definition of energy metabolism in the body. Metabolism in the body is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body’s cells. Metabolism converts the nutrients in the

    ear are connected by ducts in the throat. B. What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. a. Cough reflex is a long-drawn and deep inhalation followed by a complete closure of the glottis‚ which results in a strong exhalation that suddenly pushes the glottis open and sends a blast of air through the upper respiratory passages. This process is clearing her lungs by forcing foreign bodies out of the larynx‚ trachea and epiglottis

    Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing? A cough reflex has both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) components. Pulmonary irritant receptors (cough receptors) in the epithelium of the respiratory tract are sensitive to both mechanical and chemical stimuli. Stimulation of the cough receptors by dust or other foreign particles produces a cough‚ which is necessary to remove the foreign material from the respiratory tract before it reaches the lungs
