One of my teammates said, "EVERYTHING GIVES YOU CANCER. YOU GET CANCER EVERYWHERE."
But on a more serious note, I do think there are too many cancers to study every single one in depth.

How much anatomy do we have to know about the respiratory system?
The small parts can get super complicated.
Do we only have to know major organs like the trachea, lungs, bronchi, nose etc?

The small parts can get super complicated. You have to know pretty much everything, because the rules do not place any limits on how in-depth the test maker can get into parts of the respiratory system. However, I'd recommend just studying your basics before you get into the details.
Do we only have to know major organs like the trachea, lungs, bronchi, nose etc? No. There is a WHOLE lot more.

Basically, as previously stated by others, there is no such thing as overstudying/overpreparing in anatomy. Whoever makes the test can get really really really in depth, or make basic questions- it's up to them. So you should, (if possible) be studying from the functions of the respiratory system as a whole to how a tiny protein malfunction causes cystic fibrosis.

For resources, check the wiki, and go to your library and read a book.

anybody know what patterns of breathing are? are they things like Eupnea, apeustic breathing, hyperventilation and apnea???

What's the diference between emphysma and lung cancer?????
And also if you want to know the patterns of breathing, go to the soinc.org website and look under event info then division b or c events (whatever division ur in) then click on anatomy then click on Training Powerpoint 2012 and it's in there somewhere

I believe emphysema is when the alveolar walls break down, but lung cancer is when abnormal tissue starts growing in the lungs. Both are caused by smoking.

Yes, that sounds right.

Related: Isn't emphysema a type of COPD? So if, on a multiple-choice test, they have both COPD and emphysema as choices, how do you differentiate the two?

I would suppose you would just go with the most exact. If the description or picture they're giving you is emphysema, choose emphysema. If the picture or description is COPD but not emphysema, go with COPD.

Ooooohkay thank you

In fact, COPD isn't a specific disease, it's just a group of different diseases that are all chronic, obstructive, and pulmonary (related to lungs). COPD diseases are commonly characterized by chronic coughing fits, dyspnea (labored breathing), and increased risk for lung infections.
Emphysema is the condition in which the aleveoli permanently expand and the walls break down, creating more dead air spaces. The dead air spaces hyperinflate the lungs, giving the characteristic symptom of "barrel chest." Emphysema is most often caused by smoking, but can be hereditary too.
If the identification is supposed to be for a specific disease, then COPD would not be the answer. However, if the question asks somthing like Empysema, athsma, and bronchitis are examples of what kind of disease?, then you could say COPD is the answer.
