Which is NOT a function of the Respiratory System?
A
it warms the air
B
it exchanges O2 and CO2
C
It pumps blood to the organs
D
it creates sound through the larynx
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: c. transport of carbon dioxide from lungs to blood vessels. Ventilation, breathing, and the transport of carbon dioxide from tissues to blood vessels are all respiratory system functions. The transport of carbon dioxide from the lungs to blood vessels is not a respiratory system function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your heart is the only circulatory system organ. Blood goes from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen. The lungs are part of the respiratory system. Your heart then pumps oxygenated blood through arteries to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Medulla Oblongata is not a part of the respiratory system. The medulla oblongata is not an independent entity in the central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-4: -The respiratory system’s main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases. Once in the lungs, oxygen is moved into the bloodstream and carried through your body. At each cell in your body, oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.
