respiratory system?????

---

At school, my teacher paired us all up for a science project. We all have to reaserch a different body system. My groups system is the respiratory system. Now my question is, How does the respitory system work with other systems in the body???? And it has to be 3 examples.
you need to research on the net, the respiratory system is a large organ with many functions.  (+ info)

Respiratory System?

---

Is your heart included in the respiratory system?
Your heart certainly plays a key role, but it is not part of the respiratory system. the heart is part of the circulatory system.  (+ info)

Respiratory system?

Explain how the air comes into and out of the lungs and where it goes once entering the body! please help, thank you!!!
In order to inhale, your medulla sends a message to your diaphragms to contract which makes them pull downward. This causes a subatmospheric pressure in your lungs causing air to enter. Once in your lungs, the oxygen goes all the way into microscopic air sacs called alveoli and cross a barrier called the alveoli capillary membrane entering your bloodstream. At the same time, carbon dioxide leaves your blood stream and enters your lungs. In order to exhale, your lungs collapse much like a rubber baloon causing the air to leave. Your lungs normally have a residual amount of air that always remains so that your lungs dont collapse completly.  (+ info)

How does the respiratory system connect to other bodily systems?

---

I'm doing a science project, and talking about how Pulmonologoy and the respiratory system relates to other bodily system. I've already found info on the Digestive and and Cardiology system, but I'm at a loss for how it relates to the Endocrine, Excretory and Nervous systems. If you know any or all, please answer! Thanks so much!
nervous system: there are nerves that enervate the diaphragm (and thoracic muscles), which are critical to muscular manipulation of the lung volume.

Endocrine: see renin-angiotensin system.

Excretory: perhaps the surfactant excretions that decrease surface energies, so that the lung doesn't collapse onto itself.  (+ info)

What everyday system is similar to how your respiratory system works?

---

I need help thinking of ways the respiratory works. So if someone can think of a system that works like your respiratory system does, that would be great :)
If you dont understand my question, think of this; muscles work the same way a rubber band does.

How do the circulatory system, respiratory system and digestive system function together and how do they meet?

how do the circulatory system, respiratory system and digestive system function together and how do they meet in the body?

I would really like to know the answer to this question. I have checked myself and have yet to discover a detailed answer.

thank you very much.
Whoa....rather a complex question that requires an extensive answer to be complete and detailed. Even with my pretty good knowledge of anatomy I can't do it typing from memory.

Let me refer you to my anatomy bible. It is the classic 1918 Anatomy of the Human Body by Bartleby. Even haven been written in 1918....it is still accurate. The human body hasn't changed.

If the information you need isn't here...it doesn't exist.  (+ info)

What happens in your respiratory system when you inhale dust?

---

Say a big cloud of dust flies in your face while cleaning out a closet… you will probably cough and sneeze.
In addition to these violent exhalations, what are the parts of the respiratory system that are working to keep dust out of your lungs? And what are they doing?
That's what the upper respiratory system is all about.If you breathe the dust in through your nose, dust particles get trapped in the mucous membrane right away but what gets by is caught up in the nasal passages with the turbinates. In the nasal cavity air swirls around a bit and that increases the amount of dust that gets trapped when it hits the walls. Now you're down to the pharynx where you've got the epiglottis and a number of other structures there that are lined with moist membranes.All of these trap the dust also. What gets by the larynx and into the trachea has a real problem because the mucous membranes there are much more responsive to inhaled foreign bodies. Mucous is produced by the glands that line the airways. This traps whatever remains of the dust. Now there are structures in your airways that look like little hairs but they are anything but. They are called cillia and their responsibility is a wave like motion to move the excess mucous escalator fashion back up towards the trachea. Once enough mucous gets into the trachea it stimulates a cough, if you haven't already and expels the dust out.  (+ info)

Explain the function of the respiratory system and its function?

Group Project

The human body is composed of a number of organ systems that work together to perform all the necessary functions of the body. Each organ system is comprised of a number of component organs that work together to accomplish certain tasks.

Here are three important human organ systems: Circulatory, Respiratory, & Endocrine.

Your group will choose one of these three organ systems.

Imagine that you have been asked to provide an explanation about the structure and function of this system to a specific segment of the general public, perhaps a group of senior citizens, pregnant women, or student athletes, who want to learn more about normal functions of the human body as well as health concerns.

You will be providing the seniors with an informative handout. In this handout you will cover the following topics:

Describe the general function of the system and explain how the organ system contributes to physiological homeostasis of the human organism?
Explain how the organ system interacts with other organ systems in the human body.
List the organs in this system and state the function of each organ listed.
Select one representative organ in this system. Describe its structure and explain how the structure relates to the specific function of the organ. When describing the structure, include details about the types of cells in the organ as well as the types of tissues.
Select one specific disease associated with this organ system and explain how it affects the system and human health

How are microorganisms prevented from causing infections in lower respiratory system?

---

Describe how microorganisms are prevented from entering the upper respiratory system.
How are they prevented from causing infections in the lower respiratory system?
Hair like cilia cells beat in rhythem within your respiratory tract thus expelling them. Also there are globlet cells that secret mucus that traps micro organisms and the hair cell sweep them upwards. Eventually you will end up spitting it out or it can be swallowed and eliminated via your digestive tract  (+ info)
