What is Respiratory
System ?
The respiratory system is the group of tissues
and organs in your body that allow you to
breathe.
Nostrils
Nasal Cavity
Larynx
Bronchi
Lungs
Pharynx
Trachea
Alveoli
Nostril
Nostrils are involved in air
intake, they bring air into the
nose, where air is warmed
and humidified.
Nasal Cavity
a hollow space within the
nose and skull that is lined
with hairs and mucus
membrane.
Pharynx
The pharynx, which is located behind
the mouth and nose, is also known as
the throat.
When not being used to transfer food,
the pharynx provides a place for air to
warm up and acquire the proper
humidity levels before it enters the
trachea and moves into the lungs.
Larynx
It manipulates pitch and
volume. The larynx houses
the vocal folds (vocal
cords), which are essential
for phonation.
Trachea
is a wide, hollow tube that
connects the larynx (or voice
box) to the bronchi of the lungs.
The main function of the trachea
is to provide a clear airway for
air to enter and exit the lungs.
Lungs
The main organ of the
respiratory system is lungs.
Lungs are the site in body
where oxygen is taken into
and carbon dioxide is
expelled out.
Alveoli
Tiny sacs within our lungs
that allow oxygen and
carbon dioxide to move
between the lungs and
bloodstream.
Summary
The respiratory system is the group of
tissues and organs in your body that
allow you to breathe.
The parts of respiratory system are the
nostrils, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx,
trachea, and the Lungs.
