Structures of the Respiratory System

Nasal cavity,Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Alveoli

pulmonary ventilation

movement of air into and out of the lungs/exchange of air between the atmosphere and

Internal gas exchange

occurs in the tissues as oxygen diffuses from the blood to the cells, whereas carbon
