Question
Chapter 34, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To trace:
The route taken by air in the mammalian respiratory system, listing the structures through which air flows and the structure in which gas exchange occurs.
Introduction:
The respiratory system in humans and other mammals is divided into two portions: conduction portion and gas exchange portion. The conduction portion consists of series of passageways that are involved in the transport of gases while gas exchange portions are involved in the exchange of gases.
