|
where |is |the |respiratory |zone?
from |the |respiratory |bronchioles |to |the |alveoli
what |is |the |function |of |the |respiratory |zone?
to |actually |exchange |the |respiratory |gases

what |is |the |function |of |the |nose?
to |act |as |a |passageway |for |air, |an |air |cleanser, |an |air |warmer, |and |an |air |humidifier. |It |also |has
|olfactory |receptors |that |allow |a |sense |of |smell. |It |has |a |part |in |quality |of |speech/speech
