RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Your body is a fascinating creation that can carry out incredible tasks and
activities. It is like a machine that is able to function with proper organization of parts
and systems. However, our bodies also require proper care and maintenance. It is
just fitting to keep going with a healthy lifestyle to ensure that each part is
maintained appropriately while getting the most of it.
Respiratory system is made up of organs in the body that help us to
breathe. Just remember that respiration is linked to breathing.
The air we breathe goes through the nose, nasal passages, and then through
the trachea or windpipe, which separates into two branches, called bronchial tubes or
bronchi, one entering each lung.
The bronchi subdivide many times inside the lungs, analogous to the branching
pattern of grapes, finally becoming hair like tubes called bronchioles. In the last part of
the terminal bronchioles are tiny bubble – like bunch structures called alveoli or air sacs.
Inhaling moves the diaphragm down and expands the chest cavity.
Respiration is the physical movement of air into and out of the body. Respiration is
the act of exchanging gases. External respiration is gas exchange between an
organism’s body and its environment; internal respiration is gas exchange between tissue
cells and the bloodstream. Animal cells generate ATP in aerobic respiration, which
consumes O2 and generated CO2 as a waste product.
