CHAPTER 1: Circulatory and Respiratory Systems Working with Other Organ Systems
LESSON 1.4: The Different Organs of Respiration and How They Work with the
Circulatory System
ACTIVITY 1
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Objectives
 To explain how the lungs work.
 To describe how the movement of the diaphragm helps the air go in and out of
the lungs.
 To value the importance of the respiratory system in one’s life.
Materials
1 two-liter empty plastic bottle 3 balloons (1 big, 2 small)
1 sturdy straw 5 rubber bands
1 pair of scissors
Procedure
1. Using a pair of scissors, cut the bottom out of the 2-liter plastic bottle.
2. Create two holes that are apart from each other in the cap of the plastic bottle.
Make sure that each hole is just big enough for a straw to fit through.
3. Stick the two straws through the two holes of the bottle cap.

4. Place one balloon on the end of

each straw, and secure them with
rubber bands, as shown in the
figure.
The two straws with the balloons are

inserted into the plastic bottle cap.
5. Stick the balloon ends of the

straws through the bottle opening
and screw the lid on tightly.
6. Stretch out the larger balloon and

place it over the open bottom of
the bottle. Secure it with the
rubber band as tightly as possible.
Refer to the diagram of the
finished lung model on the left.
7. Pull the larger balloon down; that is, away from the bottle, to blow up the two
small balloons.
8. Push the larger balloon towards the bottle to let the air out of the two small
balloons.
9. Write down your observations.

They Work with the Circulatory System
Data and Observations

1. Photo of Constructed Model
Sample
2. The parts of the constructed lung model represent the following:

a. plastic bottle - chest cavity
b. straw – bronchi
c. Balloons – lungs
7
d. Larger balloon – diaphragm

“
3. The balloons expand.

4. The two balloons loosen up and return to their original size.
Questions for Analysis
1. The lungs, represented by the balloons, inflate, take in more air, or get bigger. During
inhalation, the diaphragm contracts downward, and the rib muscles pull upward, causing
air to fill the lungs. This increases the volume of the thoracic cavity and decreases
pressure in the lungs.
2. The lungs, represented by the balloons, deflate, push out the air, or get smaller. During
exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and the lungs contract which causes air to be pushed
out from the lungs. This decreases the volume of the thoracic cavity and increases
pressure in the lungs.
3. Some people may have a bigger chest cavity, larger lungs, or stronger diaphragm muscle.
The larger the chest cavity, the more air a person can inhale at one time.
4. If one of the balloons is pricked, it will not inflate anymore because the air will escape.
5. Your lungs could not take in more air without it leaking out; you could not breathe in and
out. The pressure would be the same inside and outside the lungs. Both air and waste
products would not be forced in and out of the lungs. It is important to note that you
could not change the size of the thoracic cavity if there was a leak in it.
Conclusions
SAMPLE ANSWER:
When you breathe in or inhale, the diaphragm muscle contracts. Inhaling moves
the diaphragm down and expands the chest cavity. Simultaneously, the ribs move up and
increase the size of the chest cavity. There is now more space and less air pressure inside
the lungs. The air pushes in from the outside where there is higher air pressure. It pushes
into the lungs where there is lower air pressure.
When you breathe out or exhale, the diaphragm muscle relaxes. The diaphragm
and ribs return to their original place. The chest cavity returns to its original size. There is
now less space and the greater air pressure inside the lungs. It pushes the air outside
where there is lower air pressure.
