3 subdivisions of respiratory
system
musculoelastic ventilation
functions of musculoelastic
ventilation apparatus
conducting portion
exchange of O and CO
between blood and atmosphere
1. musculoelastic ventilation
apparatus
2. conducting portion
3. respiratory portion
structures
-respiratory muscles; intercostals
and diaphragm
-elastic fibers (elastic recoil)
function
-bring air into and out of lung
structures
-nasal cavities
-pharynx
-larynx
-trachea
-bronchi

respiratory portion
respiratory membrane
-mucoas is pseudostratified
ciliated EPI with numerous
goblet cells
-submucosal glands
-serous glands
structures
-respiratory bronchioles
-alveolar ducts
-alveoli
-respiratory membrane
exchange of gases occurs
