Question
List 4 major organs of the respiratory system
Answers
GPT 3.5
1. Lungs: The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system, responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air we breathe and our bloodstream.
2. Trachea: Also known as the windpipe, the trachea is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi, allowing air to flow in and out of the lungs.
3. Bronchi: The bronchi are two large tubes that branch off from the trachea and enter into the left and right lungs. They further divide into smaller bronchioles, which eventually lead to the small air sacs called alveoli.
4. Diaphragm: Although not strictly an organ, the diaphragm is a muscle that plays a crucial role in respiration. When it contracts, it flattens out and expands the chest cavity, causing air to be drawn into the lungs. When it relaxes, the diaphragm helps to push air out of the lungs during exhalation.
