Important Organs
Air moves in and out through these large, spongy organs
Lungs
The respiratory system works with this other system to move materials and oxygen through the body
Circulatory system
The exchange of air, oxygen, and carbon dioxide throughout the respiratory system
Breathing
This process allows cells to make ATP, unlike breathe, as the name suggests
Cellular Respiration
The inflammation of the bronchial tubes
Bronchitis
This part of the body produces mucus, as well as allowing you to smell and breathe.
Nose
The amount of body systems the respiratory system does not connect to
None
These two processes are essential to move mucus out of the lungs
Coughing and Sneezing
The equilibrium that requires all body systems to function in order to be reached.
Homeostasis
One variety of this non-contagious, fast spreading disease affects the lungs, causing a variety of symptoms.
Cancer
This long tube carries air to and from the lungs; also known as the windpipe.
Trachea
This body system helps remove waste from the body, similar to the respiratory system
Excretory System
This is where oxygen goes after leaving the lungs
Bloodstream
These are the bones that protect the respiratory system
Ribs
This respiratory disorder occurs when airways swell up and produce extra mucus, causing shortness of breath.
Asthma
The muscle that sucks air into the lungs and pushes air out
Diaphragm
The mouth and throat are shared by the respiratory system and this body system, which helps move solids and fluids through the body
Digestive system
This is the amount of pints of air per minute that a human breathes in
13
Air that enters the body is regulated by these, which control the temperature of the air and take out dust particles.
Sinuses
This in an infection that inflames the air sacs of the lungs, sometimes filling them with fluid.
Pneumonia
One of the many air sacs in the lung that exchange CO2 for O2
Alveolus
Without this body system pumping air in and out of the lungs, the respiratory system could not function
Muscular system
The airway that allows air from the trachea to a lung
Bronchus
These membranes wrap around the lobes and separate them from the chest wall
Pleura
A condition making various bodily fluids thick and sticky, plugging up tubes and passageways
Cystic Fibrosis
