The Human Respiratory

System
VIII/1
TITLE PAGE
Respiratory Intro
The Respiratory system is the system
that helps you breath in and out, so
oxygen (02) can be pumped through
your body and carbon dioxide (CO2)
can be removed from the blood
stream. You must remember that the
Respiratory system is made up of
many different organs.

Here is a overview picture of

the Respiratory System.

 The Nose
Filters the inhaled air
When the air comes into your nose it gets
filtered by tiny hairs.

Adapts the inhaled temperature

As the inhaled air passes through the nasal passages,
the mucus and nose hair provide heat and moisture.

called capillaries air to and from

CO2 can pass in and out

THE PHARYNX AND
TRACHEA

Next we will head down to your pharynx

(throat) and your trachea (windpipe).
This is where the air passes from your
nose to your bronchi tubes and lungs.

Trachea

Your pharynx (throat) gathers air after it passes

through your nose and then the air is passed down to
your trachea (windpipe).

Your trachea is held open by “incomplete rings

of cartilage.” Without these rings your trachea
might close off and air would not be able to get
to and from your lungs.

THE BRONCHI TUBES AND
BRONCHIOLE INTRO

Your trachea (windpipe) splits up into

two bronchi tubes. These two tubes keep
splitting up and form your bronchiole.

MB
The Bronchi Tubes and Bronchiole

These bronchi tubes split up, like

tree branches, and get smaller and smaller
inside your lungs.

The air flows past your bronchi tubes

and into your bronchiole. These tubes
keep getting smaller and smaller until they
finally end with small air sacs (called alveoli).
But we will go there later…

THE ALVEOLI AND CAPILLARY
NETWORK

Now we will head over to the

alveoli and what happens when the
air finally makes it down there.

MB
The Alveoli and Capillary Network

Your alveoli are tiny air sacs

that fill up with air/oxygen when you
breath in.

Your alveoli are surrounded by

many tiny blood vessels called
capillaries.

The walls of your alveoli (and capillaries) are

so thin that the oxygen or carbon dioxide can
pass through them, traveling right into, or
out of your blood stream.

The Way Human Breathing
 Breathing actually has two main
process, they are inspiration and
expiration.
 Inspiration is an effort to intake air from
the outside.
 Whether, expiration means the process
of exhaling air from the lungs.

 Air Passing over the mucus Inside the lungs the
CO2 membrane of the nasal Bronchi branch into
cavity is moistened, small tubes called
bronchioles
warmed, and filtered

The Pharynx, or throat, is

located where passages
from the nose and mouth
came together.
RESPIRATORY OVERVIEW REVIEW

At the end of the

bronchioles are
bunches of alveoli,
air sacs, arranged like
grapes on a stem
Air enters the
trachea, or wind pipe
which leads to and
If one lobe is injured or
from the lungs
diseased, the other lobes
may be able to function
normally The trachea divides into
two tubes called bronchi

Questions
1. What is the function of nose?
a. Filters the inhaled air
b. Manages the air fom the lung
c. Gathers air from your Nasal and Oral Cavities and passes it to
your Trachea.
d. Connects your throat to your Bronchi Tubes and lungs

2. The smallest branch of bronchi is called. . .

a.Epiglottis
b.Trachea
c.Bronchiolus
d.Alveoli
3. What is respiration process?
a.The process of inhaling and exhaling the air.
b.The process of using oxygen to produce energy in the
cells.
c.The process of transported the blood to the lungs.
d.The process of exchange the oxygen and carbondioxide
Arrange this into the correct Respiration
Process
 Air from the nose or mouth is then funneled
through the throat and into the trachea
 Each bronchus enters one of the lungs and then
branches into smaller tubes called bronchioles
 Capillaries in the walls of the alveoli exchange
oxygen and carbon dioxide by the process of
diffusion
 Air enters the respiratory system through the nose
or mouth
 The trachea branches into two tubes called bronchi
 The bronchioles have small sacs at their ends
called alveoli
