Respiratory System Flashcards
Conducting zone
Upper part of respiratory system that funnels the air in and moistens it so the cells down low don’t get dried out, composed of nose, mouth, larynx, trachea, and lungs
Where real gas exchange occurs. made of alveoli and bronchiolese

Where oxygen exchange happens and then it drops off the oxygen into the circulatory system
