Exploring the Components and Functions of the Respiratory System

This video from Mumu Math and Science explains the respiratory system, highlighting its role in exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide. It covers the upper and lower respiratory tracts, including the nose, nasal cavity, sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. The video also discusses the interaction between the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, focusing on pulmonary and systemic circulation.

What is the primary function of the respiratory system?

• To circulate blood

• To filter waste from the body

• To digest food

• To exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide

What exchanges oxygen for carbon dioxide in the lungs?

• Heart

• Liver

• Kidneys

• Alveoli

What traps dust particles in the nasal cavity?

• Cilia

• Sticky mucus

• Alveoli

• Bronchi

What helps move dust particles away in the nasal cavity?

• Sticky mucus

• Alveoli

• Cilia

• Bronchi

What is the main passageway into the lungs?

• Trachea

• Larynx

• Pharynx

• Esophagus

Which bronchus is shorter and wider?

• Left main bronchus

• Right main bronchus

• The term bronchus does not apply here

• Both are the same

What muscle helps the lungs breathe in and out?

• Triceps

• Biceps

• Diaphragm

• Heart

Which system works closely with the respiratory system to exchange gases?

• Digestive system

• Nervous system

• Muscular system

• Cardiovascular system

What type of circulation carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs?

• Pulmonary circulation

• Coronary circulation

• Peripheral circulation

• Systemic circulation

What does systemic circulation do?

• Filters waste from the blood

• Supplies oxygen to the heart muscle

• Carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the body

• Carries blood to the heart
