What structure is part of both the respiratory and digestive system quizlet?
PHARYNX/ESOPHAGUS /STOMACH.
The correct answer is option (c) pharynx. The pharynx is shared by the respiratory and digestive systems. This organ conducts food into the esophagus and the air into the larynx and trachea.
Which respiratory organ is a common passageway for both the respiratory and digestive system quizlet?
Structure: The nasal passages lead to the pharynx (throat). It is a common passageway for both respiratory & digestive systems. At its rostral (front) end, the soft palate divides the pharynx into the dorsal NASOPHARYNX (respiratory passageway) & the ventral OROPHARYNX (digestive passageway).
How does the digestive system work with the respiratory system quizlet?
How does the Respiratory System interact with the Digestive System? The digestive system breaks down into smaller substances that the body can use like proteins, which helps the respiratory system by providing needed nutrients to the lungs, who ch are the main components of the respiratory system.
How does respiratory system and digestive system work together?
Your respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air. It also gets rid of carbon dioxide. Your digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food you eat.
How are the respiratory and circulatory and digestive systems connected?
(1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen – good for the body – gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.
How does the digestive system work with the digestive system?
As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.
Is the common passageway for the respiratory and digestive systems?
The pharynx, commonly called the throat, is a passageway that extends from the base of the skull to the level of the sixth cervical vertebra. It serves both the respiratory and digestive systems by receiving air from the nasal cavity and air, food, and water from the oral cavity.
What is divided into passageways called Meatuses?
Superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae (turbinates) protrude into the nasal cavity from the lateral walls, and divide the cavity into three passageways called meatuses. Meatuses – passageways through the nasal cavity between the conchae.
Which of the following structures is part of the bronchial tree?
Together, the trachea and the two primary bronchi are referred to as the bronchial tree. At the end of the bronchial tree lie the alveolar ducts, the alveolar sacs, and the alveoli. The tubes that make up the bronchial tree perform the same function as the trachea: they distribute air to the lungs.
What muscular structure is located between the pharynx and the trachea?
The larynx, commonly called the voice box or glottis, is the passageway for air between the pharynx above and the trachea below.
Which best describes the way the digestive and muscular systems are related? The diaphragm, above the intestines, inflates and deflates. Nutrients are transported to the bones to help them function. The heart absorbs oxygen and nutrients from various parts of the body.
What is the combined primary function of the respiratory and circulatory systems quizlet?
Functions to transport blood and oxygen from the lungsand other fluids to the various tissues of the body. The heart pumps the blood throughout the body.
