erica [24]

Answer:

Respiratory System: The respiratory system's main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases.

Nostril: To warm air on inhalation and remove moisture on exhalation.

trachea: Serves as passage for air, moistens and warms it while it passes into the lungs, and protects the respiratory surface from an accumulation of foreign particles.

bronchiole: To deliver air to a diffuse network of around 300 million alveoli in the lungs.

alveoli: To exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules to and from the bloodstream during breathing.

pharynx: Helps the respiratory system by allowing air to make its way to the respiratory tract.

larynx: Produces vocal sounds and prevents the passage of food and other foreign particles into the lower respiratory tracts.

lungs: To help oxygen from the air we breathe enter the red cells in the blood.

ribs: To aid respiration and help protect the lungs.

diaphragm: Contracts and flattens when you inhale. Creates a vacuum effect that pulls air into the lungs, and relaxes when exhaling.

How did scientific names impact classification
Zanzabum
Actually, the names don't affect the classification at all - it does not matter how something is called, as it does not change its characteristics. 

The classification of organism is based on their evolution and characteristics and it's a scientific consensus based on the data. Names don't impact it at all. 

However, to increase understanding in science, scientist made the names after the place in the classification - so the scientific classification determines the names (but not the other way round). 

Most offten you can tell how an animal is classified from the name, but only because it was named after this classification.
