About this document
Overview of the Respiratory System by Bea Samonte is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The respiratory system has two main divisions - the conducting portion and respiratory portion. The conducting portion transports air to and from the lungs but does not facilitate gas exchange. It includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles. The respiratory portion is where gas exchange occurs between inhaled air and blood. It includes respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli in the lungs. In the lungs, the bronchi branch into smaller bronchioles and terminal bronchioles
