Together, the two tracts are responsible for . ventilation . (movement of air in and out of the airways). The upper respiratory tract, known as the upper airway, warms and filters inspired air so that the lower respiratory tract (the lungs) can accomplish gas exchange or diffusion. Gas exchange involves delivering oxygen to the tissues through the bloodstream and expelling waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, during expiration. The respiratory system depends on the cardiovascular system for perfusion, or blood flow through the pulmonary system. . BP602. Pharmacology III. Cough. Cough, a protective reflex, helps to expel irritant matter from the respiratory tract. This is necessary for preventing mechanical obstruction to breathing. . Cough may be: .
