2. What does the conducting zone do?
a. Moves air from the larynx to the lungs
3. What zone is the air warmed and humidified in?
a. Conducting
4. What zone is the site of gas exchange?
a. Respiratory
5. What is the benefit of capillaries being physically attached to the alveoli?

6. What part of breathing is an active process?
a. Inhalation
7. During what part of breathing does the diaphragm contract?
a. Inhalation
8. How are volume and pressure related?
