2 --Respiratory
System

Primary purpose:

Also has the purpose of removing

___________ _______________ from your blood
and releasing it to the outside

Without the removal of CO2, we would only

live a short time before poisoning ourselves

Breathing
Is the process of ___________________________
________________________________________

On average we breath 20-24 time per

minute

What is in our breaths?

Every breath we take in is made up of:

Every breath we take out is made up of:

Experiment

The cups contain an ______________________

called _________________________

This will show the presence of Carbon

dioxide by changing colour.

Compare your liquid color with the rest

of your group of four

What caused the colour change?

What does this tell us about the air we

exhale?

We are able to breathe because the muscles

of our __________________________________
These muscle ________________when we breathe in
this causes the ribs to move up and the
diaphragm to move down
This expands our chest size and brings air in

When you exhale these muscles

__________________, this decreases the size of your
chest and pushes air out

Pathway of Air
Stop #1Mouth and Nose

Air is drawn into the body through the mouth or nose

Little _____________ hairs are present in the airway that

grab particles that can be harmful

The mucus of the nose _______________________ and the

blood _____________________.

This action causes the chest to expand and opens room

for the lungs to bring air in

Larynx and Pharynx

After the air is breathed in by the nose or mouth it

moves to the ___________________

Common air and food passage way

Air then goes down the __________________which

leads to the _________________

The larynx contains the voice box

When you eat the larynx is closed off by a flap of skin
called the _________________
It reopens when you breathe

Stop #2 -- Trachea

Also known as your ___________________

This is the tube that the air follows after it

is breathed in by the mouth or nose

This tube leads the air to the

_____________________________

Stop #3 Bronchi Tubes

Tough connective tissue that lead air into

the lungs

Main purposes is to
__________________________________________
and prevent the lungs from collapsing on
themselves as they deflate

Stop #4 Bronchioles

The bronchi tubes narrow out and split into

separate tubes known as the
__________________

Bronchioles are tube like sections that lead

to tiny _______________________________ called
Alveoli

Stop #5 -- Alveoli

There are about 600,000,000 alveoli in the

lungs of a human.

These are surrounded by _______________

that transfer
____________________________________

Alveoli are made of ________________________

tissue.
Diffusion becomes very critical in this stage

Diffusion of Oxygen and Carbon

Dioxide

When you inhale, the air in the alveoli has:

_________ concentration oxygen,
_________ concentration of CO2

The blood in the capillaries around the

alveoli have _______ oxygen and ________
CO2
Oxygen diffuses into the blood, CO2 diffuses into
the air
This whole process take ONE SECOND to complete

Where does Oxygen and CO2 Go?

The air you breathe has oxygen that is

______________________________________ and is
then brought all over the body for use.

The Carbon dioxide is transferred into the

alveoli from the blood and ________________

Health Concerns

Asthma

Smoking

Asthma

Mucus build up in the ______________________

limits the ability to get air into the lungs

Puffers clear away the mucus build up to

ease breathing

Smoking

Smoke damages the _______________________

and paralyzes cilia which allows
_____________ _______________ into the lungs
