Respiration is the process byhich the body takes in and utilizes oxygen(O2)and gets rid of carbon dioxide( co2)

4 An Overview of Key Steps in Respiration
Respiration can be divided into four major functional events Ventilation: movement of air into and out of ungs Gas exchange between air in lungs and blood Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood Internal respiration: Gas exchange between the blood and tissues 5
5 Respiration can be divided into four major functional events • Ventilation: Movement of air into and out of lungs • Gas exchange between air in lungs and blood • Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood • Internal respiration: Gas exchange between the blood and tissues
Respiratory system Function Gas exchange: Oxygen enters blood and carbon dioxide leaves Regulation of blood pH: Altered by changing blood carbon dioxide levels Voice production: Movement of air past vocal folds makes sound and speech Olfaction: Smell occurs when airborne molecules drawn into nasal cavity Protection: Against microorganisms by preventing entry and removing them Metabolism: Synthesize and metabolize different compounds(Nonrespiratory Function of the Lung)6
6 Respiratory System Functions • Gas exchange: Oxygen enters blood and carbon dioxide leaves • Regulation of blood pH: Altered by changing blood carbon dioxide levels • Voice production: Movement of air past vocal folds makes sound and speech • Olfaction: Smell occurs when airborne molecules drawn into nasal cavity • Protection: Against microorganisms by preventing entry and removing them • Metabolism: Synthesize and metabolize different compounds (Nonrespiratory Function of the Lung)
