    Uploaded by

    Noor Fazila
    This document contains questions about the human respiratory system from a science textbook. It covers topics like the breathing mechanism, oxygen transport, and the importance of a healthy respiratory system. Some key points addressed are: - The processes of inhalation and exhalation, the role of the diaphragm and thoracic cavity muscles. - How oxygen diffuses into blood capillaries in the lungs and is transported through the body by binding to hemoglobin. - Harmful effects of cigarette smoke, vehicle fumes and industrial gases on lung function and respiratory health. Conditions like lung cancer and bronchitis are discussed.
