Respiratory System Work

What is the major function of the respiratory system?

• Supplying oxygen to the body

• Regulating body temperature

• Producing energy for the body

• Filtering the air we breathe

What is the function of the paranasal sinuses?

• Filtering the air we breathe

• Regulating body temperature

• Producing mucus for the nasal cavity

• Storing oxygen for the body

Which structure in the respiratory system serves as the site of voice production?

• Bronchioles

• Vocal folds

• Trachea

• Epiglottis

What is the function of the epiglottis in the larynx?

• Filtering the air we breathe

• Covering the laryngeal inlet during swallowing

• Staying open for air flow

• Gas exchange within the lungs

• Storing oxygen for the body

What is the purpose of the visceral pleura and parietal pleura in the lungs?

• Regulating body temperature

• Producing mucus for the nasal cavity

• Surrounding the lungs and ribs

What is the function of the intrapulmonary pressure in the lungs?

• Keeps the lungs open

• Regulates body temperature

• Produces energy for the body

• Filters the air we breathe

What is the result of the activity of inspiratory muscles in the respiratory system?

• Change in volume and pressure for air to enter

• Producing mucus for the nasal cavity

• Storing oxygen for the body

• Regulating body temperature

What is the function of the pulmonary arteries and veins in the circulatory system?

• Bring oxygen-rich blood to the lungs

• Produce energy for the body

• Filter the air we breathe

• Regulate body temperature
