Human Respiratory System

• The Respiratory system is a biological system consisting

of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange
in animals and plants. 
• Respiration is the biochemical process in which the
cells of an organism obtain energy by combining oxygen
and glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide,
water, and ATP (the currency of energy in cells). 
• We take in oxygen in the air with our mouth , and
release carbon dioxide to the air.
• Larynx is an organ in the top of the neck
involved in breathing, producing sound and
protecting the trachea against food
aspiration. 
• Trachea is hollow tube that connects the
larynx to the bronchi of the lungs. 
• Bronchi is extensions of the windpipe that
shuttle air to and from the lungs.
• Lung is to bring in air from the atmosphere
and pass oxygen into the bloodstream. 
• Diaphragm is a dome-shaped sheet of muscle
that separates the chest cavity from the
abdomen.
• Air sacs help to increase respiratory efficiency
by providing a large surface area for gas
exchange.
