Question: Respiratory System Anatomy and Physiology

Objectives: 1. Identify the anatomical structures of the respiratory system and their functions

2. Explain the mechanics of breathing

3. Explain internal and external respiration

Assignment Overview

This practice exercise helps students understand the anatomical structures of the respiratory system.

Deliverables: A one- to two-page (250- to 500-word) paper

Step 1: Explain three difficult concepts.

As you review the information presented in this lesson and the textbook, identify the three most difficult concepts (or parts of a concept) in respiratory anatomy and respiration for most anatomy and physiology students. Select one difficult concept from each of these topic areas:

• Anatomy of the Respiratory System

• Mechanics of Breathing

• Respiration

Step 2: Write an explanation of each concept.

Write a clear one-paragraph explanation of each of these three concepts. Use images from the Internet or those that you scan into the document, if possible. At a minimum, submit a one- to two-page (250- to 500-word) paper.

Step 3: Save and submit your assignment.
