Functions of The Respiratory System ▪ To allow gases from the environment to enter the bronchial tree through inspiration by expanding the thoracic volume. ▪ To allow gas exchange to occur at the respiratory membrane, so that oxygen diffuses into the blood while carbon dioxide diffuses into the bronchial tree. ▪ To permit gases in the lungs to be eliminated through expiration by decreasing the thoracic volume. General anatomy of The respiratory System ▪ Consists of a tube...

Exocytosis - Occurs when contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane. Neurons - nerve cell, transmit information throughout the body Neuroglia - supportive cell for neurons Axon - primary transmission lines of the nervous system Dendrites - receive information from other neural call to the cell body of the neuron Pelvic Cavity - space with in the walls of the pelvis Meninges - protect the central nervous system Ret...
