(1)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The purpose of surfactant.

Concept introduction: The mechanism of oxygen transport from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide removal from the blood occurs through respiratory system. There are two anatomic areas in the respiratory system. They are as follows:

• Upper respiratory tract
• Lower respiratory tract

The upper respiratory tract consists of air passageways that include nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, and trachea. The lower respiratory tract includes the trachea, bronchial tree, and the lungs.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The purpose of the respiratory membrane.

Concept introduction: The mechanism of oxygen transport from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide removal from the blood occurs through respiratory system. There are two anatomic areas in the total respiratory system. They are as follows:

• Upper respiratory tract
• Lower respiratory tract

The upper respiratory tract consists of air passageways that include nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, and trachea. The lower respiratory tract includes the trachea, bronchial tree, and the lungs.
