• Function
Move air in an out of lungs (ventilation)
Delivers oxygen (O2)
Removes carbon dioxide (CO2)

• Conducting portion -
conducts air to lungs
Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi,
bronchioles and terminal bronchioles
• Respiratory portion -
main site of gas exchange
Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts,
alveolar sacs, and alveoli

“Respiratory Epithelium”
Surfactants:
• Fatty substance
• Compounds that lower the surface tension of
a liquid, the interfacial tension between two
liquids, or that between a liquid and a solid
• May act as detergents, wetting agents,
emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants
• Helps maintains the inflation of the alveoli
between inspirations

Bronchus
The trachea bifurcates into two primary
bronchi, which enter the lung and then branch
several times to give rise to smaller secondary
and tertiary bronchi
