The Respiratory System
The respiratory system for gaseous interchange, which consists of the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract. The upper and lower tracts consist of the mouth, nose, pharynx, and larynx and then in the lower trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.

Respiration is carried on by the expansion and contraction of the lungs; the process and the rate at which it proceeds are controlled by a nervous center in the brain.

We cover the respiratory system with these articles.

  • The Lungs
    by Dr. Gary Farr 8/4/2003
    The lungs are the main organs of our respiratory system. The right lung is composed of 3 lobes and weighs a little over a pound. The left lung weighs a little under a pound and consists of 2 lobes. The trachea enters the lungs and branches out into bronchi, and then bronchioles (about .01 inches in diameter), and eventually into 250 million air sacs called alveoli. We cover our breathing apparatus in detail.
