5 functions of the resp sys
-gas exchange
-location for the receptors –for the sense of smell
-filtering air
-production of sound

2 structural divisions of the resp sys and their parts
- Upper respiratory system:
Nose, pharynx and associated structures - Lower respiratory system:
Larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs
memory trick: Lower starts at Larynx
2 functional divisions of the resp sys
-Conducting zone
-Respiratory zone
conducts air to lungs
Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and terminal bronchioles
conducting zone (1 of 2 functional divisions)
main site of gas exchange
Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli
Respiratory zone (1 of 2 functional divisions)
