Respiratory
Systema respiratorium
The respiratory system facilitates gas exchange between the body and the external environment. Air passes through the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi to reach the alveoli in the lungs, where oxygen is absorbed into the blood and carbon dioxide is expelled. The system also plays roles in pH regulation and vocalization.

Frequently Asked Questions
The respiratory system facilitates gas exchange between the body and the external environment. Air passes through the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi to reach the alveoli in the lungs, where oxygen is absorbed into the blood and carbon dioxide is expelled. The system also plays roles in pH regulation and vocalization.
The Respiratory contains 246 structures cataloged on AnatomyFYI, including organs, bones, muscles, nerves, and vessels that work together to perform the system's functions.
The Respiratory can be affected by a range of conditions including infections, inflammatory diseases, congenital abnormalities, autoimmune disorders, and degenerative conditions. Consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment.

The system also plays roles in pH regulation and vocalization. The structures within the Respiratory coordinate through chemical signaling, nerve impulses, and mechanical interactions to maintain homeostasis and carry out essential bodily functions.
