RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
I. FUNCTION
To supply the body with oxygen and dispose carbon dioxide
It involves at least 3 distinct process:
1. Pulmonary Ventilation
Inflow and outflow of air between the atmosphere and alveoli of the
lungs
2. External Respiration
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and
pulmonary capillaries
3. Internal Respiration
Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide via the blood to and from
the tissue
II. FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
A. Conducting Zone
Also called as “dead space” because there is no gas exchange in
these zones
Respiratory passages extending from nose to the terminal bronchioles
B. Respiratory Zone
Actual site of gas exchange
Composed of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
i. Conducting Zone Structures
I. Upper resp tract
A. Filtering of air
B. Warming and moisruring
C. Humidification
A. Nose
made up of framework of cartilage
nostril septum
Kessel-bach plexus: anastomosis

capillaries
B. Pharynx
muscular passageway for both air and food
1. Orophyarynx
2. Nasopharynx
3. Laryngophyarynx
C. Larynx
voicebox
1. For phonation
2. Coughing reflex
3. Opening of larynx: glottis
it opens to allow passage of air
closes to allow food passage
II. Lower resp tract
For gas exchange
A. Trachea (windpipe)
consists of cartilaginous rings
permanent artificial airway
