Assignment 2 1. In a tabular form, outline the functions of the following parts of the human respiratory
system
a. Nasal passages
b. Nasal hair
C. Mucus membrane
d. Pharynx
e. Epiglottis
f. Glottis
g. trachea
h. Rings of cartilages
i Larynx
j. Alveoli

please help

a. The function of the nasal cavity is to warm, moisturize, and filter air entering the body before it reaches the lungs. Hairs and mucus lining the nasal cavity help to trap dust, before it reached the inner portions of the body.

b. It filtered the air to protect you from illness  irritation of the respiratory tract

c. It traps smaller particles like pollen or smoke.

d. It  regulate the passage of air to the lungs and food to the esophagus. The   throat, is the passageway leading from the mouth and nose to the esophagus and larynx.

e. It seal off the windpipe during eating, so that food is not accidentally inhaled.

f. Glottis opens into the windpipe and is responsible for the production of sound

g. It serves as passage for air and warms it while it passes into the lungs, and protects the respiratory surface from an accumulation of foreign particles.

h. It helps support the trachea while still allowing it to move and flex during breathing.

i. It  produces vocal sounds and prevents the passage of food and other foreign particles into the lower respiratory tracts.

j. It takes up the oxygen you breathe in and keep your body going.

Explanation:

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.
