Reviewing Concepts
Complete each statement by underlining the correct word or phrase in the parenthesis.
12. The function of the respiratory system is to bring about the exchange of oxygen
and (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide).
13. After they are inhaled, particles are trapped in the mucus layer that coats much of
the respiratory system. Then (cilia, alveoli) sweep the particles away from the
lungs.
14. During inhalation, the diaphragm (relaxes, contracts).

15. The structure labeled A in the diagram above is the (larynx, trachea).
16. Each of the structures labeled B in the diagram leads to (a lung, the heart).
17. The structures labeled C in the diagram finally end in (tiny air sacs, pleural
membranes).
18. A network of (intercostal muscles, capillaries) surrounds each of the structures in
the diagram labeled D.
