Summary Introduction

To determine:

The multiple functions of the respiratory system.

Introduction:

The organ system that provides oxygen to the blood by the process of inhalation and removes carbon dioxide by the process of exhalation is called the respiratory system. It involves organs like nose, pharynx, larynx trachea, and bronchi.

Explanation of Solution

The functions of the respiratory system are as follows:

  • Respiratory system act as a system that helps in the exchange of gases between blood and air.
  • It also helps in creating sounds such as speech, crying, and laughing.
  • The respiratory system has some cells that provide a sense of smell and also remember the smell.
  • It also maintains the pH of body fluid.
  • Lungs help in the synthesis of angiotensin II, which regulates the blood pressure.
  • It produces platelets in the lungs.
  • It helps in maintaining metabolism.
Conclusion

Thus, the respiratory system performs different functions.

San Andreas Transform Boundary Plate Motion The geologic map below of southern California shows the position of the famous San Andreas Fault, a transform plate boundary between the North American Plate (east side) and the Pacific Plate (west side). The relative motion between the plates is indicated by the half arrows along the transform plate boundary (i.e., the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest relative to the North American Plate). Note the two bodies of Oligocene volcanic rocks (labeled Ov) on the map in the previous page located along either side of the San Andreas Fault. These rocks are about 23.5 million years old and were once one body of rock. They have been separated by displacement along the fault. 21. Based on the offset of these volcanic rocks, what is the average annual rate of relative plate motion in cm/yr?
