3

Name the organs of the respiratory system and describe their location and function.

Identify various pathological conditions that affect the system.

Learn medical terms that pertain to respiration.

4

Describe important clinical procedures related to the respiratory system, and recognize relevant abbreviations.

Apply your new knowledge to understanding medical terms in their proper contexts, such as medical reports and records.

5

External respiration: Exchange of air in lung capillaries oxygen inhaled into the air sacs of the

lungs immediately passes into capillaries carbon dioxide passes from capillaries into

air sacs, to be exhaled

6

Internal respiration: Exchange of gases in the cells occurs simultaneously between cells and

capillaries oxygen passes out of the bloodstream

into the tissues carbon dioxide passes out of tissues back

into the bloodstream to travel to the lungs

7

Mediastinum: Middle of chest where trachea divides into two branches

Bronchi: Each leads to a separate lung Lungs: Lobes are not mirror images Hilum: Blood vessels, nerves,

lymphatic tissue, and bronchial tubes enter and exit
