Respiratory Zone:
A Zone where actual gases exchange occur.
The parts which is includes in Respiratory
zone are start from Respiratory bronchioles
and end with Alveoli.
, Anatomy of Respiratory
system:
Upper respiratory tract:
1) Nasal cavity and mouth:
It is a entry point of air . respiratory process
start from here. In nose there is nasal cavity
