3  Name the organs of the respiratory system and describe their location and function.  Identify various pathological conditions that affect the system.  Learn medical terms that pertain to respiration.

4  Describe important clinical procedures related to the respiratory system, and recognize relevant abbreviations.  Apply your new knowledge to understanding medical terms in their proper contexts, such as medical reports and records.

5 External respiration: Exchange of air in lung capillaries  oxygen inhaled into the air sacs of the lungs  immediately passes into capillaries  carbon dioxide passes from capillaries into air sacs, to be exhaled

6 Internal respiration: Exchange of gases in the cells  occurs simultaneously between cells and capillaries  oxygen passes out of the bloodstream into the tissues  carbon dioxide passes out of tissues back into the bloodstream to travel to the lungs

7  Mediastinum: Middle of chest where trachea divides into two branches  Bronchi: Each leads to a separate lung  Lungs: Lobes are not mirror images  Hilum: Blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic tissue, and bronchial tubes enter and exit
