Internal respiration is a similar mechanism that exchanges
gases (O2 and C O2) between the blood and cells of the Defense

cause disease. As such, the respiratory system has a line of
defense against these molecules that can cause infection.

THE CONDUCTING PORTION
The conducting portion of the respiratory system functions
to transfer or ‘conduct’ inhaled air from the outside world
to the lung tissue. This portion also conducts air from the
lungs to the outside world.
This is where humidification and trapping of debris occurs.
No oxygen is absorbed into the blood in this region as the
walls of the organs are too thick.
The structures of the conducting portion include:
• Nose and nasal cavity
• Paranasal sinuses
• Pharynx
Pseudostratified: This epithelium appears stratified (multi- • Larynx
