The Respiratory System

48 min • 1 juli 2025

This MCAT podcast covers the respiratory system. First, I cover the anatomy of the respiratory system. Then, I dive into its main functions:

Gas exchange (breathing mechanisms here too)
Thermoregulation
Particle filtration
pH control

Lastly I talk about how the respiratory system is controlled.

Please email me if you have any comments or concerns: MCATpodcast@medschoolcoach.com
