A summary of airway structural components with diagrams of the lung and conducting airways (trachea, bronchial divisions). The cellular structure of the conducting airways is presented in a table. The action of pharmacologic agents (drugs) on the physiology of airway function is discussed....
What do the lungs do? What is the main function of the trachea? What is the function of ciliated epithelium in the lining of the trachea and bronchi? What is the function of the chest? What is the function of the keel on the sternum?
throat, andlarynx(the upper respiratory tract) to the two large airways that branch off into each lung (bronchi). An important function of the trachea is warming and moisturizing the air, as well as catching debris and microbes before they can enter the lungs.1 ...

The respiratory system is made up of organs and tissues that help you breathe. The main parts of this system are the lungs, the trachea, the diaphragm, alveoli and nasal cavity. The respiratory system starts with the mouth and the nose, where air is brought in, then passes through the la...
The main function of the pulmonary system is to put oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide out of the blood. What organs are in the pulmonary system? The organs of the pulmonary system include the lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. They all function to put oxygen in...
The main organ of the respiratory system is the lungs. Red blood cells collect the oxygen from the lungs and carry it to the parts of the body where it is needed. The human respiratory system allows us to breath by air traveling down the oesophagus to the trachea which branches into ...
These are ready-to-use Lungs worksheets that are perfect for teaching students about the lungs which are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi....
What is the function of the keel on the sternum? What is the function of stratified epithelial tissue? What is the function of epithelial tissue in the lungs? What is the function of epithelial tissue in the heart? What are the characteristics of cartilaginous joints?
The Heart: The main function of the heart is to pump blood throughout the body. There are four chambers of the heart (right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle), and two of these chambers pump blood away from the heart. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, whi...
