Respiratory Epithelium
Respiratory epithelium is a type of epithelium found lining the respiratory tract, where it serves to dampen and help protect the airways.
Alvolar Tissue
This is the tissue that makes up and supports the lungs.
Lungs
The lungs are a main organ in the respiratory system, they take in oxygen and help push out carbon dioxide.
Respiratory System
The system that helps an organism breathe and take out carbon dioxide.
Organism
The air keeps the heart beating which keeps the organism alive.
Homeostasis
The respiratory system keeps homeostasis by bringing the right amount of oxygen into the organism and the right amount of carbon dioxide out to keep the organism living. If the carbon dioxide isn't taken out then the organism will perish. Respiratory acidosis will build up in your lungs if there is to much carbon dioxide. You will then suffocate and die.
Interaction
The Respiratory System works with the Cardiovascular System because the respiratory system gives the heart oxygen so it can pump blood throughout your body.
The Respiratory System also works with the circulatory system because the oxygen from the lungs runs through the blood that streams through your veins. The respiratory system also interacts with the digestive system because as the food is being digested some molecules are pushed into the bloodstream as where the oxygen is being put into the bloodstream as well.
