    Respiratory System

    Uploaded by

    Irica Mae Ciervo
    The respiratory system allows the body to obtain oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. It consists of the lungs, trachea, and other airways. Oxygen is taken in through the nose/mouth and travels through the trachea to the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen passes into tiny air sacs called alveoli and enters the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and expelled from the body through exhalation. The diaphragm and other muscles enable breathing to occur through their contraction and relaxation.

    The Respiratory System

    How we get our oxygen and get


    rid of carbon dioxide
    Human Lungs
    NOT Hollow Balloons but, A Spongy Organ
    Why Does Our Body Need
    Oxygen?

    The energy releasing reactions that take place


    in every single cell, and you have trillions,
    requires oxygen and glucose.

    Carbon dioxide is a waste product of this


    energy releasing reaction.

    The Difference Between
    Respiration and Breathing
    Breathing – Movement of air in and out of the
    lungs.

    Respiration – Also known as cellular respiration,


    is the energy releasing reaction that takes
    place inside of cells. Oxygen combines with
    sugar to release energy.

    The Path of Air
    1. Nose or Mouth – moistens and heats the air
    before going into the trachea. Cilia and
    mucus trap dirt in the air.

    2. Larynx – part of the trachea where our vocal


    cords are located.

    3. Trachea – the tube that leads from the nose


    and mouth to the lungs. The walls have
    rings of cartilage to protect the trachea and
    prevent it from collapsing.
    The Path of Air (Cont.)
    4. Bronchi – the trachea splits into right and left
    bronchi, each one leading into your right and
    left lung. Each bronchus (singular) leads air
    into the lungs and divides into smaller and
    smaller tubes, like a tree trunk divides into
    smaller and smaller branches.

    5. Alveoli – grape-like structures at the end of


    the bronchi. This is where our blood picks
    up the oxygen we need.
    The Path Air Takes In The Body
    The Diaphragm

    Diaphragm – a large dome-shaped muscle, just


    under the lungs, that moves to inflate the lungs
    with air.

    Lungs
    Large Surface Area
    The alveoli greatly increase the surface
    area of our lungs. If they were cut open
    and spread out evenly, the alveoli would
    cover an area the size of a tennis court!

    Capillaries, very tiny blood vessels,


    surround each alveoli cluster so the blood
    can pick up large amounts of oxygen.
