Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the conducting zone and respiratory zon O respiratory zone is where gas movement occurs - the conducting zone allows for O2 absorption O conducting zone brings air to the lungs - the respiratory zone structures allow for gas exchange O respiratory zone includes all parts of the respiratory system, whereas the conducting zone includes non-respiratory st conducting zone includes the alveoli - the respiratory zone includes all other respiratory structures
