Several muscles work with your respiratory system when you breathe. The main one is your diaphragm, which separates your lungs from your belly space. Muscles between your ribs, calledintercostal muscles, and muscles in your belly area help out when you're breathing hard; for instance, when you...
Respiratory System Objective: To relate organs in the respiratory system to their functions. Functions of the Respiratory System Provides the body with oxygen Removes carbon dioxide from the blood (Helps the body exchange gases!) Check For Understanding Which of the following is a function of the ...

In the vertebrates—— animals with backbones —— that get their oxygen from the air, both tasks are performed by special gas-exchange organs called lungs. The lungs provide a place where oxygen can reach the blood and carbon dioxide can be removed from it. They are equipped with tubes ...
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...

Identify the organs of the respiratory system and describe their functions. What is the function of the upper respiratory tract? What is(are) the function(s) of the respiratory system? What is the process of gas exchange in the respiratory system?
The key function of breathing is to ensurepulmonary gas exchangein accordance with metabolic needs of the organism. The respiratory system also serves multiple other vital functions, includingphonationandthermoregulation. Consequently, both the central network and peripheral organs of the respiratory system...
