 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
The respiratory system plays a vital role
in the human body. At the end of the lesson
you should be able to identify the major
parts of the respiratory system and explain
the functions of the respiratory system.
III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy
III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy
 The respiratory system is an equally
important system of the body that we
cannot live without.

1. It is a system which takes charge of the

breathing process.
2. It isIII.made up of several organs which is
Innovation /Intervention Strategy
responsible for gas exchange in the body.
3. The organs help for taking in oxygen and
expelling carbon dioxide from the body.
4. It is made up of several parts without
different functions namely.
1. Nose
 an organ of the respiratory system found
protruding between the eyes. It is the part
where the air that we inhale enters and carries
out the air that we exhale.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

2. Nasal cavity
 It is the part found inside thee nose. It is also
lined with mucous membrane that helps keep
the nose moist. It is also lined with hair like
structures called cilia which helps trapped dirt
entering the nose

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

3. Mouth
 It is a hollow cavity that allows food and air to enter the
body.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

4. Throat (Pharynx)
 It is a muscular tube that runs from the back of
your nose down into your neck It is the
passageway of the air entering the nasal cavity up
to the esophagus and larynx.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

5. Voice Box (Larynx)
 It serves as the passageway of air between the
pharynx above and trachea below. It plays an
essential role in human speech

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

6. Windpipe (Trachea)
 It is a tube that is about 4 inches long. It is found
just under the larynx or voice box and then divides
into 2 smaller tubes called bronchi.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

7. Bronchial tubes or Bronchi
 These are tubes which serves as the main
passageway of the air entering the lungs.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

8. Bronchioles
 These are passages that branched off
from the bronchi. These are tubes that
hold the air sacs or alveoli.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

9. Air sacs or Alveoli
 These are tiny sacs inside the lungs. It is
the part where the exchange of gas takes
place. It is the part where oxygen is taken
in and carbon dioxide is carried out.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

10. Lungs
 These are pair of spongy, air-filled organs
located on either side of the chest or
thorax.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

11. Diaphragm
 It is a thin skeletal muscle that sits at the base of
the chest and separates the abdomen from the
chest. It contracts and flattens when you inhale. It
creates a vacuum effect that pulls air into the
lungs. It relaxes when you exhale.

Respiratory System Diseases
Common diseases of the respiratory system
include:
 Asthma. Your airways narrow and make too much
mucus.
 Bronchiectasis. Inflammation and infection make your
bronchial walls thicker.
 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This
long-term
III. condition
Innovationgets worse over
/Intervention time. It includes
Strategy
bronchitis and emphysema.
 Pneumonia. An infection causes inflammation in your
alveoli. They might fill up with fluid or pus.
 Tuberculosis. A bacterium causes this dangerous
infection. It usually affects your lungs but might also
involve your kidney, spine, or brain.
 Lung cancer. Cells in your lung change and grow into a
tumor. This often happens because of smoking or other
chemicals you’ve breathed in.
 Cystic fibrosis. This disease is caused by a problem in
your genes and gets worse over time. It causes lung
infections that don’t go away.
 Pleural effusion. Too much fluid builds up between the
tissues that line your lungs and chest.
 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Your lung tissue
III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy
becomes scarred and can’t work the way it should.
 Sarcoidosis. Tiny clumps of inflammatory cells called
granulomas form, often in your lungs and lymph nodes
Activities that you observe at home that shows the value
or use of your respiratory system:

 increase your walking speed

 don't smoke
 Add plants to your home
 challenge your lungs to improve your respiratory system
 exercise get fit and stay active
 eat healthy food
 drink lots of water
III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy
 wash your hands

Learning Task 2: Study the picture of the respiratory
system below. Label the parts correctly. Do this on
your answer sheet.

III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy

 The respiratory system is the organs and other parts of
your body involved in breathing, when you exchange oxygen
and carbon dioxide.
Parts of the Respiratory System
Your respiratory system includes your: What I have
 Nose and nasal cavity
 Sinuses
learned
 Mouth
 Throat (pharynx)
III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy
 Voice box (larynx)
 Windpipe (trachea)
 Diaphragm
 Lungs
 Bronchial tubes/bronchi
 Bronchioles
 Air sacs (alveoli)
 Capillaries
How Do We Breathe?
Breathing starts when you inhale air into your
nose or mouth. It travels down the back of your throat
and into your windpipe, which is divided into air
passages called bronchial tubes. What I have
learned
For your lungs to perform their best, these
airways need to be open. They should be free from
III. Innovation /Intervention Strategy
inflammation or swelling and extra mucus.
Learning Task 3: List down activities that you
observe at home that shows the value or use of your
respiratory system. Write this in your notebook.
