Respiratory System Worksheet p2

The document summarizes the key structures and processes of the respiratory system in 3 sentences: The respiratory worksheet lists the order of structures involved in breathing from the nose to lungs as nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. It also identifies the diaphragm, pharynx, trachea, alveoli, and exhalation in a matching exercise and describes the process of inhalation as the diaphragm contracting, lungs expanding, air pressure decreasing in the chest cavity, and air being drawn into the lungs. Finally, it provides a diagram of a lung alveolus to label with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
