What respiratory structure controls breathing?

The lung is located in the thorax, where its delicate tissues are protected by the bony and muscular thoracic cage. The lung provides the organism with a continuous flow of oxygen and clears the blood of carbon dioxide. Atmospheric air is pumped in and out regularly through a system of pipes, called conducting airways, which join the gas-exchange region with the outside of the body. The airways can be divided into upper and lower airway systems. The transition between the two systems is located where the pathways of the respiratory and digestive systems cross, just at the top of the larynx.

Good luck!

Remember what you learned about diffusion in PBS or another science class. Use the principles of diffusion to explain why oxygen

Musya8 [376]

Difussion occurs from a high concentrated region to a low concentrated region. The velocity of diffussion is proportional to the differential of concentrations. In the lung arrives blood with low levels of oxygen while the long is rich with fresh oxygen so the oxygen flows from the lung tissues to the blood.

The other tissues consume oxygen continually them they get poor in oxygen and so the oxygen that is in the blood diffuses to the tissue that is poor in oxygen.

During digestion, which of the following organ(s) is/are responsible for extracting certain minerals and maintaining proper flui

irina1246 [14]

The answer should be the "small intestine." 90% of digestion takes place in the small intestine and that's because that's during the process of digestion the small intestine sucks all of the nutrients out of the food then passes off the waste. Digestion starts as soon as you put food in your mouth because your saliva contains chemicals that breaks the food down.

Hope this helps!
