    Oxygen is a clear, odorless gas that makes up 21% of air and is necessary for cellular function and survival. Respiration is the process of gas exchange between an organism and its environment, involving breathing, alveolar-capillary exchange, and oxygen transport. The respiratory system includes the upper respiratory tract from the mouth to larynx, and the lower tract from the trachea to alveoli in the lungs, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged via pulmonary capillaries.

    OXYGENATION

    OXYGEN
    - Clear odorless gas
    - 21% of air we breathe
    - Necessary for proper functioning of all living cells
    - Absence can lead to cellular, tissue, and organism death
    RESPIRATION
    - Process of gas exchange between individual & environment. Involve 4 components:
    ❖ Ventilation(breathing): movement of air (inhale or exhale)
    ❖ Alveolar-capillary gas exchange: diffusion of O2 & CO2 between tissues & lungs
    ❖ Transport of O2 & CO2 between tissues & lungs
    ❖ O2 & CO2 movement between systemic capillaries & tissues
    STRUCTURE OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
    UPPER
    ● Mouth
    ● Nose
    ● Pharynx
    ● Larynx
    LOWER
    ● Trachea
    ● Lungs
    ● Bronchioles
    ● Alveoli
    ● Pulmonary Capillary Network
    ● Pleural Membranes

    PHARYNX
    - Shared pathway for air & food
    - Includes nasopharynx & oropharynx, richly supplied with lymphoid tissue that traps and
    destroys pathogens entering with air
    LARYNX
    - Important for maintaining airway patency and protecting lower airways from swallowed
    food and fluids
    EPIGLOTTIS
    - During swallowing, closes routing food to esophagus. Open during breathing, allowing
    air to move into lower airways
