is crucial for gas exchange in the body, primarily facilitating the intake of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide.
respiratory system
The respiratory system is crucial for WHAT in the body, primarily facilitating the intake of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide.
gas exchange
is a network of an organs and structure and responsibility is process of breathing which involves yung sa pagkuha ng oxygen and paglabas ng carbon dioxide when it comes to supplying oxygen to the bodyband releasing gases.
respiratory system
filters, warms, and humidifies the air.
Nasal Cavity
The respiratory system is crucial for gas exchange in the body, primarily facilitating the intake of WHAT and the removal of carbon dioxide.
oxygen
The respiratory system is crucial for gas exchange in the body, primarily facilitating the intake of oxygen and the removal of WHAT.
carbon dioxide
A passageway for air and food; connects the nasal cavity to the larynx.
Pharynx
Houses the vocal cords and plays a role in sound production; also protects the trachea against food aspiration
Larynx
Bronchi: Two main branches from the trachea that lead to each lung; further divide into what are thhose
smaller bronchi and bronchioles
Protection: The respiratory system helps filter out pathogens and irritants through WHAT
mucus and cilia
Two main branches from the trachea that lead to each lung; further divide into smaller bronchi and bronchioles
Bronchi
The windpipe that conducts air to the bronchi; lined with cilia and mucus to trap particles.
Trachea
Main organs of respiration; contain alveoli where gas exchange occurs
Lungs
Tiny air sacs at the end of bronchioles where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with the blood.
Alveoli
By controlling the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, the respiratory system helps maintain acid-base balance.

The respiratory system does two very important things:
It brings oxygen into our bodies, which we need for our cells to live and function properly
It helps us get rid of carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of cellular function.
The RESPIRATORY SYSTEM consists of all the organs involved in breathing. These include the
nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs.
Respiratory distress syndrome
Affects infants
Disorder of prematurity
Incomplete maturation of the surfactant-producing system
Results in alveolar collapse with atelectasis
HYALINE MEMBRANE DISEASE
is a congenital disease.
Also known neonatal respiratory distress syndrome or NRDS
HYALINE MEMBRANE DISEASE
