Question

function of respiratory system and its parts in detail for class 10​

Answer 1

The Human respiratory system is mainly involved in supporting the exchange of gases in our body.Respiration is one of the metabolic processes which play an essential role in all living organisms. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The so-called exchange of gases is necessary for respiration and which can be considered as a chemical process.

Every organism, from an individual bacteria cell to a mighty blue whale, undergoes respiration.

But, before we discuss respiration in humans, let us first look at the respiratory organs of other organisms. This would give us a better idea of how the human respiratory system is more advanced than the others.

Breathing is the first step in respiration for almost all organisms. The inhale and exhale of gas and its mechanism depends on the environment in which the organisms survive.

For instance, the lower organisms like the unicellular take up oxygen and release carbon dioxide by the process of diffusion across their membrane. Annelids like earthworms have a moist cuticle which helps them in gaseous exchange. Respiration in fish and other aquatic organisms have special organs called gills, which help them in respiration. Most of the higher organisms possess a pair of lungs for breathing. The humans have a well developed respiratory system. Let us take a look at human respiration.

The human respiratory system consists of the following parts:

External nostrils – For the intake of air.

Nasal chamber – which is lined with hair and mucus to filter the air and remove dust and dirt.

Pharynx – It is a passage behind the nasal chamber and serves as the common passageway for both air and food.

Larynx – Also known as the sound box as it helps in the generation of sound and thus helps us in communicating.

Epiglottis – It is a flap-like structure that covers the glottis and prevents the entry of food into the windpipe.

Trachea – It is a long tube passing through the mid-thoracic cavity.

Bronchi – The trachea divides into left and right bronchi.

Bronchioles – Each bronchus is further divided into finer channels known as bronchioles

Alveoli – The bronchioles end up into the balloon-like structures known as the alveoli

Lungs – We have a pair of lungs, which are sac-like structures and covered by a double-layered membrane known as pleura.

Answer 2

Hey mate here's your answer ⤵⤵⤵⤵⤵
A catabolic process in which food particle are oxidized in living cells to release energy.
Two Steps in respiration::: -----
1.breathing or gaseous exchange
2.gaseous transport through blood and 3.oxidation of food inside the cell
Respiration are of two types :-
⭐aerobic respiration: - it occurs in the presence of oxygen. there is an exchange of Oxygen and CO2 between organism and its environment .it occurs in mitochondria
⭐anaerobic respiration: -it occurs in the absence of oxygen there is no such exchange it occurs in cytoplasm.
In human being respiratory system consists following parts...
Nostrils
pharynx
larynx
trachea and bronchi
lungs
ribs, inter- costal muscles and Diphgram

hope it helps you ✌✌✌✌✌
