HELLO
THERE!
What are
What is respiratory system.
we going
to look at; Breathing system

respiration
 The respiratory system is the
network of organs and tissues
What is that help you breathe. It
includes your airways, lungs

respiratory
and blood vessels. The
muscles that power your lungs
are also part of the respiratory

system
system. These parts work
together to move oxygen
throughout the body and clean
out waste gases like carbon
dioxide.

Air movement
through
respiratory
system
● When you inhale through your nose or mouth,
air travels down your pharynx (back of your
throat), passes through your larynx (voice box)
and into your trachea (windpipe). Your trachea is
divided into two air passages called bronchial tubes.
One bronchial tube leads to your left lung, the other
to your right lung.

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) is the

measure of carbon dioxide within arterial or venous
blood. It often serves as a marker of sufficient alveolar
ventilation within the lungs

10
PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) reflects the amount
of oxygen gas dissolved in the blood. It primarily
measures the effectiveness of the lungs in pulling
oxygen into the blood stream from the atmosphere.
Elevated pO2 levels are associated with: Increased
oxygen levels in the inhaled air. Polycythemia.

Respiration
● Respiration is the chemical process by which
organic compounds release energy. The compounds
change into different ones by exergonic reactions.
There are two types of respiration: • aerobic, which
requires oxygen and releases lots of energy •
anaerobic, which does not require oxygen but
releases much less energy per mole of starting
material

 What is :
● Aerobic Respiration
●  Aerobic means “with air”. Therefore, aerobic
respiration is the process of cellular respiration
that uses oxygen to produce energy from food.
This type of respiration is common in most plants
and animals, including humans, birds and other
mammals.
● Anareobic respiration
● Anaerobic means “without air”. Therefore, this type
of cellular respiration does not use oxygen to
produce energy.  Sometimes there is not enough
oxygen around for some organisms to respire, but
they still need the energy to survive.
