Week 13 Reflection

Our dive into Physiology began with an introduction to the eleven body systems. Groups of three were assigned a body system to research, and my group was given the Respiratory System. The respiratory system is very closely linked to breathing. There is approximately 1500 miles of airway. Also, one's right lung is larger than their left lung because of the heart and its positioning. The respiratory system allows people to breath 10 liters of air in a single minute. Although many people do not know this, people are capable of living with only one lung. Simple exercise can improve lung capacity. Up to 300 million alveoli can be found in a pair of lungs. The respiratory system is one of the multiple body systems that make human life possible.
