In: Anatomy and Physiology
You will provide a summary of the respiratory system from the perspective of inhaled air. Your description should include:
- An organized progression of travel. What organs does the air travel through? What types of tissues and structures are seen within them? What purposes do those structures serve?
- Orientation of those organs within the body using correct directional and regional terminology. For example - it is not adequate to say that air is inhaled via the nose, you should include a description of where the nose is found and where air will progress (i.e. Air is inhaled via the nares in the facial region, and progresses posterior through the nasal cavity towards the naso-pharynx.)
