RESPIRATORY SYSTEM By: Hope Burks

FUNCTIONSOxygen is inhaled so the blood can carry it to some parts to your body, and carbon dioxide, a waste product, is breathed out as gas exchange.

MAJOR ORGANS

nose, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs.

INTERACTS WITH

Both the endocrine and respiratory systems are dependent on each because there are certain hormones like adrenalin, which is released by the adrenal glands, which help to stimulate the respiratory activity. Also, some endocrine hormones have an effect on the dilation of the alveoli, or the respiratory passages. This can affect the amount of oxygen that the lungs absorb.

WHAT DOES THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DO?

The reparatory system is a system in the body that takes in oxygen and replaces it with carbon dioxide when you breathe.
