result in significant impact.
- Research the human body to fuller extent

Upper and Lower
- The Respiratory System's main function is to take in
oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. It does this by working

system?
Respiratory Disease
- Respiratory disease can affect the Upper and Lower and
can be mild to life threatening
- Virus: Common cold
- COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- The most common Respiratory Disease is Asthma

Upper respiratory
- Superior
- Larynx, pharynx, and nose
- This system mainly consists of airways
Lower respiratory
- Anterior
- Trachea, lungs, bronchi, alveoli
Summary:

The respiratory system is made up of the larynx, pharynx, nose, trachea, lungs, bronchi, and alveoli. The
circulatory system consists of three independent systems that work together. It has the heart, lungs, arteries,
veins, coronary and portal vessels. The system is responsible for the flow of blood, nutrients, oxygen and other
gases, and as well as hormones to and from cells. The organization my partner and I are choosing is the NHLBI.
