 RESPIRATION
• PROCESS EVERY LIVING ORGANISM
PERFORMS TO GAIN ENERGY
• TWO CATEGORIES:
- Chemical
- Physical
Human Respiratory System
 Physical respiration
• The inhalation of air
- the diaphragm contracts and
pulls downward
- the muscles between the ribs
contract and pull upward.
- increase in the size of the
thoracic cavity
- decreases the pressure
inside.
- as a result, air rushes in and
fills the lungs
• The exhalation of air
- the diaphragm relaxes, -
-- the volume of the
thoracic cavity
decreases, - - the
pressure within it
increases.
- the lungs contract
- air is forced out.
 Chemical respiration
• Aerobic respiration – requires oxygen

• Anaerobic respiration – requires no oxygen
