Respiratory System revision support

I hope the revision is going well!! Eat fresh food and drink plenty of water, Dominoes and KFC do not fall under the fresh food category.

Anyway whilst marking papers I see we have struggled a little with components of the respiratory system and the effects of exercise in the short and long term.

Use your textbook to be sure you are 100% sure on the components of this system i.e. it does not include your heart (cardiac muscle). For a good structural picture see https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/hlw/system.html

I have also found some Aussie's who know what they are talking about at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyhYHlA7bZw

Using both of these resources alongside your textbook, exam questions should help iron out any issues.

Tweet me if you need anymore specific support.

Happy Easter
