Lesson 1: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM; ITS PARTS AND FUNCTIONS

OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:

 identify the parts of the breathing process and describe the function of each part;
 trace the pathways of oxygen from nose to alveoli;
 explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to transport
nutrients, gases, and other molecules to and from the different parts of the body;
and
 infer a one’s lifestyle can affect the functioning of the respiratory system.

Values Integration:
 Advocate activities that promote a healthy and well-functioning respiratory
system
 Expressively show concern for the maintenance of clean air
 Appreciate the importance of oxygen in respiration

INTRODUCTION

Overview

Our environment is increasingly deteriorating as people continue to contaminate

the air with pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, lead,
and ground level ozone.
Oxygen is only 21% of the atmosphere, and yet and it is an important gas.
Unfortunately, this gas mixes with a lot of pollutants, affecting the proper functioning of
our respiratory and circulatory systems. How can we protect our respiratory and
circulatory systems from pollutants?
In this chapter, you will examine important concepts that deal with the
respiratory and the circulatory systems and how these systems interact to facilitate gas
exchange in the body.

Lesson Proper

Riddle: You cannot see or taste it, yet it is as real as land and water. When it blows,
you can feel it against your face. You can also see its effect in drifting clouds, quivering
leaves and pounding waves. It can turn windmills and blow sailboats across the sea.

Amazing Facts about the Respiratory System

Did you know that...

• Your right lung has three lobes and your left lung only has two?
• The right lung is a little larger than the left lung?
• A person sleeping almost always breathes twelve or fifteen times a minute?
• The exhaling rate is faster in kids than in adults?
• The trachea is made out of cartilage shaped rings?
• The fastest recorded “ sneeze speed” is 165 km per hour?
• It is healthier to breathe through your nose than your mouth, because your nose
hairs and mucus clean the air.

Caring for Your Respiratory System

You should take care of your Respiratory System because if you don’t you won’t
be able to breathe. Using drugs can keep your brain from telling your lungs to breathe.
Smoking can make your lungs turn black and not work well. Breathing clean air is
healthiest for you. Exercise keeps your lungs strong.
