The workshop is divided into 9 questions according to the area's competences.Comprehensive use of
scientific knowledge questions1 to 3. Inquiry 4 to 6. Phenomena explanation 7 to 9

1. Choose the correct answer

Inhalation
- We breath in/out air
- Our lungs get smaller/bigger
- We inhale oxygen/carbon dioxide
- the air passes to our lungs/blood and the our lungs/blood
Exhalation
- We breath in/out air
- Our lungs get smaller/bigger
- We exhale oxygen/ carbon dioxide because our body doesn't need it

2. Select true or false according to the differents sentence, if false, justifies

a. The respiratory system is made up of oxygen, nose, nostrils and lungs (True/false)
b. The respiratory system take oxygen and release carbon dioxide (True/false)
c. The oxygen passes into the blood (True/false)
d. Air enters in our body through our lungs (True/false)
e. the air goes down through the lungs to the bronchi (True/false)

According with the texts answer the questions 3 to 5

Air is inhaled through the mouth and nose. Air cavities called sinuses are in the head. The air goes through the
pharynx, and the trachea, which divides and goes into each lung. The trachea is made up of cartilaginous rings.
The lungs add oxygen to the blood and get rid of carbon dioxide. This exchange of gasses takes place in the tiny
numerous air sacs called alveoli by way of very small capillaries. Once the trachea has divided, the two parts are
the bronchial tubes. Your right lung has three lobes, your left lung has two lobes. The phrenic nerve controls
breathing which is an involuntary process. The diaphragm and rib cage move down and inward when air is
inhaled and exhaled. Membranes surrounding the lungs and diaphragm are the pleura which provide a thin
watery cushion.

3. Whats happens if we don't have alveoli

a. we would not be able to carry out gas exchange
b. the blood would not have oxygen
c. we would not be able to eliminate the carbon dioxide
4. During the inhalation process, we breathe in oxygen, however, the exhaling process we breathe out carbon
dioxide, the respiratory system has an organ move down and inward. Which is the organ
a. Trachea b. lungs c. alveoli d. diaphragm
5. When you can take the air through the mouth and nose
a. inhaled b. Exhaled c. inhaled and exhaled
6. What is the difference between inhalation and exhalation?

Inhalation Exhalation

The model represents the steps of the respiratory

process
7. According to the model, if the lungs do not provide
oxygen to the blood, what can happen to the organs?
a. Difficulties in performing their function
b. The carbon dioxide cannot be exhaled.
c. We could continue to live
8. What's happen if we don't have blood to do gas
exchange?
9. Why does the body need to waste carbon dioxide?
