INTRODUCTIONAnatomy refers to branch of science to study the bodily structure of human beings, plantsand other organism by dissection and separation of parts. Physiology can be described as to dealwith normal functions of living organisms and their body parts (Selvarajan and et. al., 2014).This assignment is based on the topic “exercise has an effect on breathing rates as well as heartrates”. The present report will focus on components of respiratory system and circulatory systemalong with showing relation between them. It will also include process of respiration includingpulmonary circulation and exchange of gases along with evaluating survey to providerecommendations.TASK 1 Main components of respiratory systemThe respiratory system refers to overall those organs which plays an important functionin breathing such as mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and muscles ofrespiration. It consist two essential roles, i.e., supply oxygen to cells in body and excrete outcarbon dioxide in proper manner. However, respiratory system has primary function to provideoxygen to body tissues for cellular respiration, remove waste product carbon dioxide andfacilitate to maintain acid-based balance in body. Moreover, parts of respiratory system areutilised for non- vital functions like straining, sensing odours and speech production duringchildbirth or coughing. The respiratory system has various main components which areexplained further – Nose and Nasal cavity – This refers to main external opening for respiratory systemwhich facilitate movement of air inside and outside of the body. However, the structure of noseis made up of cartilage, skin, bone and muscle which save anterior portion of nasal cavity.Meanwhile, nasal cavity is a hollow space within nose and skull along with hair & mucusmembrane. In addition to this, it has function to warm, moisturise and filter air by trapping dust,pollen, mold and other contaminants of environment (Hearn, 2015).Mouth – The mouth can be explained as oral cavity which is considered as secondaryexternal opening for respiratory tract. However, mouth is used when nasal cavity is not able toconduct certain functions as well as the path way of air from mouth is shorter as compared to1
