Question

Distinguish between the conducting portion and respiratory portion of the respiratory tract. The conducting portion of the respiratory tract includes the respiratory bronchioles and alveoli. The respiratory portion includes the nasal cavity and extends through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and larger bronchioles. The conducting portion includes the trachea, bronchi, larger bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles and alveoli. The respiratory portion includes the nasal cavity and extends through the pharynx and larynx. The conducting portion includes the nasal cavity and pharynx. The respiratory portion includes the larynx, trachea, bronchi, larger bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, and alveoli. The conducting portion includes the nasal cavity and extends through the pharynx and larynx. The respiratory portion includes the trachea, bronchi, larger bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles and alveoli. The conducting portion includes the nasal cavity and extends through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and larger bronchioles. The respiratory portion includes the respiratory bronchioles and alveoli.

Answer 1

Answer:

The conducting portion includes the nasal cavity and extends through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and larger bronchioles. The respiratory portion includes the respiratory bronchioles and alveoli.

Explanation:

The respiratory system is divided into a conducting portion and a respiratory portion. The conducting portion consists of the air-transmitting passages of the nose, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and larger bronchioles. The function of this portion is to warm, filter as well as humidify air going into the lungs. The conducting portion of the respiratory tract begins at the nasal cavity and extends through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and larger bronchioles.

The respiratory portion is that part of the respiratory system where the exchange of gases occurs. The respiratory portion includes the smallest bronchioles and the alveoli.
