The Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, and Lungs

White blood cells in the alveoli that phagocytize any pathogens that may enter

These are produced by diaphragm spasms, when the diaphragm rapidly contracts, causing a volume increases and gases to move inwards rapidly

A measure of the lung's ability to inflate and stretch

The amount of gas that dissolves in water is determined by its solubility in water and its partial pressure in air is known as what law

There function is to moisten and warm the air and to provide structures that increase turbulence of incoming air to increase likelihood of catching pathogens

This is the narrowing of the bronchi that will increase resistance, decreasing the flow of air and complaince

The law that states that the flow of air is equal to the change in pressure divided by resistance

Known as resting breathing this type of volume, on average, exchanges 500 mL of gas per respiration

This gas gets transported in artial blood as 90% carbonic acid, 5% as carbaminohemoglob and 5% as dissolved gas

Functions to protect the trachea from food moving down it

At the ends of the bronchial tree and denoted for lacking cartilage these balloon-like structures are known as

The purpose of this action is to ride the lower respiratory tract of potential foreign material and it is initiated by irritant receptors in the respiratory tract

Reduces friction, quarantines pathogens, and inflates the lungs are all functions of

Both of these factors affect the rate of gas exchange in all parts of the body

Appears in very density on the surfaces of alveoli in order to facilitate quick diffusion of gas into and out of the bloodstream

In order to overcome the hydrogen ions collapsing force within the alveoli, these special cells secrete pulmonary surfactant

These are created by changes in volume of the thoracic cavity and is what allows the lungs to inflate

The lungs do not need any muscular contractions in order to passively expire this is due to a property known as

Air at this certain point in the respiratory tract will be humidified, exchanged with gases in the blood, and mixed with residual air

Scalenes, Pectoralis minor, sternocleidomastoid, Erector spinae muscles are all involved in

The four parts that make up the bronchial tree

The brain stem, limbic system, irritant receptors, and chemoreceptor's important job

The sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, external intercostals, pectoralis minor, internal intercostals, and the diaphragm all help with this vital action of the lungs

This law states that in an area of low oxygen pressure and high CO2 pressure the blood will have the ability to bind to more CO2
