The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange between a living organism and its surroundings. The lungs are an extremely important element of the human respiratory system. Animals, depending on the species and environment (aquatic or terrestrial), use organs for breathing, such as gills, tracheas, lungs, and lungs. The respiratory system does not occur in invertebrates, incl. flatworms, roundworms or annelids (they breathe the entire surface of the body). The most important function of the human respiratory system is to transport oxygen to the cells and remove carbon dioxide from the body.
Characteristics of the human respiratory system
Respiratory system in humans, it is divided into the respiratory tract and the proper respiratory organ, i.e. the lungs. The airways are additionally divided into the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi. Additionally, work respiratory system in humans, it supports the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. In the structure of the nasal cavity, a distinction is made between, inter alia, the anterior and posterior nostrils. The latter connect the nasal cavity with the throat. The main function of the nasal cavity is to clean and warm the inhaled air. The throat in the human respiratory system leads to the larynx. The larynx is a vocal apparatus located between the pharynx and the trachea. The trachea is shaped like a tube that passes into the bronchi and is lined with a mucosa. The main function of the bronchi in respiratory systemm is the transport of air to the lungs. The lungs are made of alveoli and gas exchange takes place in them. They consist of two layers – the pulmonary (visceral) pleura and the parietal pleura. For the main processes respiratory system include: ventilation of the lungs, diffusion of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and their transport.
