Select one difficult concept from each of these topic areas:
Anatomy of the Respiratory System
Mechanics of Breathing
Respiration
Step 2 Write an explanation of each concept.
Write a clear one-paragraph explanation of each of these three concepts. Use images from the Internet or those that you scan into the document, if possible. Limit your response to a one- to two-page (500 minimum word) paper.
