Lastly, alcohol can make sleep apnea worse making it further difficult to breathe.

how do the muscular and respiratory systems work together?

As the diaphragm drops down and the ribs expand, the lungs also expand, taking in air, and oxygen along with.  When the diaphragm rises, and the intercostals relax, the chest wall recoils, causing the lungs to recoil causing air to move out - and CO2 along with it.

Question 8

what does bronchitis have to do with the respiratory system?

Accepted Answer

Bronchitis: The bronchi are tubes which sprout off from the trachea and carry air into bronchioles and then into the alveolar spaces of the lung.  They are an integral part of the respiratory tract and when inflamed it is called bronchitis.

Question 9

how does the respiratory system depend on the nervous system?

Accepted Answer

Easy.: The brain (mission control of the nervous system) initiates the drive to breath based upon input from a variety of sensors.  It transmits signals via the phrenic nerve to the diaphragm to initiate breathing.  Cough receptors in the lung similarly control the cough reflex.  Additionally the epiglottis is triggered to cover and protect the trachea to prevent aspiration.

1) prostate &amp; seminal vesicles :they provide a medium &amp; reservoir for the sperm .The bulk of the ejaculate is the product of these 2 organs.(the sperm is a minute part of the ejaculate.
