function of respiratory system - supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide Difference between respiratory zone and conducting zone - respiratory zone: The structures that are directly involved in. gas exchange Conducting zone: Sturctures such as trachea, larynx, mouth ect. that bring oxygen to respiratory zone and CO2 out. Four processes of respiration - 1. pulmonary ventilation 2. external respiration 3. transport of respiratory gases 4. internal respiration
