What part of the respiratory tract is considered the respiratory zone?

Biology
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

D. Alveoli

Explanation:

Functionally, the respiratory system is separated into a conducting zone and respiratory zone:

Conducting zone consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. These structures form a continuous passageway for air to move in and out of the lungs.

Respiratory zone is found deep inside the lungs and is made up of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. These thin-walled structures allow inhaled oxygen (O2) to diffuse into the lung capillaries in exchange for carbon dioxide (CO2).

The respiratory zone begins where the terminal bronchioles join a respiratory bronchiole, the smallest type of bronchiole, which then leads to an alveolar duct, opening into a cluster of alveoli.

Which correctly lists the three gases that are part of Earth’s cycles in both the atmosphere and biosphere? radon, carbon monoxi
serg [7]

The three gases that are part of Earth’s cycles in both the atmosphere and biosphere are:

  • oxygen
  • - nitrogen
  • - carbon dioxide

<h3>Explain your answer?</h3>

The oxygen,  nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are the three gasses that are constantly moving through the atmosphere and biosphere in their own respective cycles.

The oxygen is used by the animals for breathing, but it is also released as a byproduct by the producers. The nitrogen is used as a food source for the producers, as well as the carbon dioxide which is crucial for the process of photosynthesis.

Thus, Part of them is released through decomposition, part by releasing them in the atmosphere or in the soil.
