BIOS 255 Week 6 Respiratory System - Anatomy Lab Report (2023/2024). Respiratory Anatomy Lab Report Purpose: Please state in your own words the purpose of the lab. 1. To learn and describe the features of the respiratory tract 2. Learn in detail de cellular components of the respiratory epithelium and membrane. 3. Understand the role of the larynx in the processes of phonation. 4. Learn how Boyle's law is involve in the change of intrapleural and alveolar air pressure to help the air flow go in and out of the lungs. 5. Learn about pulmonary volume and capacity. 6. Understand what factors influence the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin and how oxygen and carbon dioxide is transport in the blood. 2. Procedure: Briefly discuss the procedure for this lab. 1. Identify the borders and components of nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. 2. Identified the surface features of the lungs. 3. Identified the muscle that is responsible for inhalation and exhalation. 4. Identified the function of respiration. 5. Identified the four major pulmonary volumes and capacities. 6. Explain the regulation of respiration. 3. Data and Details: a. List 4 functions of the respiratory system. 1. Ventilation: Delivery of O2 to the lungs and the expulsion of CO2 and H2O out of the lungs. 2. Gas exchange: Diffusion of O2 into the bloodstream and the diffusion of CO2 out of the bloodstream. 3. Blood pH: The regulation of the acid-base levels of blood 4. Protection and defense: The process of protecting respiratory surfaces from dehydration and temperature change and defending the body against inhaled pathogen
