Functions of the Respiratory System

The video tutorial covers the respiratory system, explaining its role in breathing, gas exchange, and sound production. It details the pathway of air from the nose and mouth through the respiratory tract, including the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, and bronchioles, ending in the alveoli where gas exchange occurs. The tutorial also highlights the protective role of the ribs and the mechanics of breathing involving the diaphragm and intercostal muscles.
