LABORATORY EXERCISE NO. 15
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Name: Santiago, Prancheska Abigayle P. Section: 12 Date Submitted: NOV. 27, 2020

I. INTRODUCTION
The respiratory system enables breathing as well as the exchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide between the air in the lungs and the blood. In addition, the respiratory organs are
also responsible in the transport of gases in the blood and tissues.

II. GIVE AT LEAST 3 MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Respiratory system brings air to body temperature and moisturizes it to the humidity
level your body needs. It delivers oxygen to the cells in your body. And removes waste
gases, including carbon dioxide, from the body when you exhale.

III. ANATOMY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Below is an illustration of the respiratory system. Identify each part with an arrow and
label with the corresponding number for each part.

1. External nose 4. Larynx 7. Lungs

2. Nasal cavity 5. Trachea
3. Pharynx 6. Bronchi

1. EXTERNAL NOSE 2. NASAL CAVITY

3. PHARYNX

6. BRONCHI 4. LAYNX

5.TRACHEA

7. LUNGS

Answer each item guided by the specific instructions for each question set.
A. True/False
Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.

FALSE 1. The nostrils are also called the external nasal septa.

TRUE 2. The thyroid cartilage is the largest piece of cartilage and is also known as the Adam’s
apple.

TRUE 3. The larynx is closed off when we swallow so that foods and liquids are routed
posteriorly into the esophagus and are kept out of the trachea anteriorly.

TRUE 4. The vestibular folds of the larynx are also known as the false vocal cords.

TRUE 5. The fluid within the pleural cavity prevents friction between the pleural membranes
and allows them to slide past each other during respiration.

B. Completion
Complete each sentence or statement.

6. The NASAL SEPTUM is the vertical partition that divides the inside of the nose into right and
left nasal cavities.

7. The surface of the respiratory membrane inside each alveolus is coated with a fluid, consisting
of a mixture of lipoproteins called SURFACTANT.

8. The first process of respiration is breathing or VENTILATION, which is the movement of air
between the atmosphere and the lungs.

9. EXTERNAL respiration is the exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood.

10. The exchange of gases between the blood and the body cells is called INTERNAL respiration.

11. The PARTIAL of a gas is the amount of pressure that gas contributes to the total pressure
and is directly proportional to the concentration of that gas in a mixture.

12. The TRACHEA is also known as the windpipe.

13. The overall exchange of gases between the atmosphere, the blood, and the cells is called
RESPIRATION.

14. The openings into the external nose are called the NOSTRILS.

15. Inspiration involves a DECREASES in gas pressure causing a vacuum that sucks air into the
lungs.
