2 Diagram 2 shows a structure from the human respiratory system.

Diagram 2

(a) Name the parts labelled P, Q, and R using the following terms.

alveolus bronchiole capillary

[3 marks]

(b) Draw a line to show the correct match between the structure and their
descriptions.

Structure Description

P Small branches inside the lungs. At the end of

these tubes are the alveoli.

Q Tube that lead into the lungs and divides into

smaller tube.

R The structure is surrounded by tiny blood vessels.

The smallest blood vessel in our body.

(a) Label the figure with the following:

lung trachea bronchus

(b) Where does the exchange of gases occur in the human respiratory system?
