Lesson1: THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Introduction
Respiration is the process of gas exchange—the release of carbon dioxide from the body and the
uptake of oxygen from the environment. These gases play important roles in the human body. It is
important that these gases are delivered to their destination without any obstruction. The respiratory
system must be free from any infections because it may affect the health of a person.

Activity 1: The Parts of the Respiratory System

A. Using the picture below, trace the pathway of oxygen from the environment to the lungs.

When you inhale through your nose or mouth, air travels down your pharynx (back of
your throat), passes through your larynx (voice box) and into your trachea (windpipe).

Your trachea is divided into two air passages called bronchial tubes. One bronchial tube
leads to your left lung, the other to your right lung. For your lungs to perform their best,
your airways need to be open when you inhale and when you exhale. They also need to
be free from inflammation (swelling) and abnormal amounts of mucus.

Your bronchial tubes lead to smaller air passages called bronchi, and then into
bronchioles. The bronchioles end in tiny air sacs called alveoli, where oxygen is
transferred from the inhaled air to your blood. Alveoli look like clusters of small round
fruits.

After absorbing oxygen, the blood leaves your lungs and is carried to your heart. From
there, it’s pumped through your body to provide oxygen to the cells of your tissues and
organs.
When cells use oxygen, they produce carbon dioxide and transfer it to your blood. Your
bloodstream carries the carbon dioxide back to your lungs. When you exhale, you
remove the carbon dioxide.
