 RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
- MADE UP OF THE ORGANS
IN THE BODY THAT HELP US
BREATHE.
RESPIRATION
•is a life process common to both plants
and animals. In this process there is an
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
PHASES OF RESPIRATION

External Respiration- is the exchange

of gases between the atmosphere and the blood. This
involve the lungs
INTERNAL RESPIRATION

- is the exchange of gases between the

cells of the body and the blood.
BREATHING

- is the mechanical process that helps

get air in and out of the lungs. It
consist of two stages
TWO STAGES
1. INHALATION (INHALE)- THE INTAKE
OF AIR

2. EXHALATION (EXHALE)-
BREATHING OUT OF THE AIR.

PARTS AND FUNCTIONS OF
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
. UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT
UPPER RESPIRATORY

1. OSNE

1.NOSE- gateway and the first organ of the

respiratory system wherein the air (oxygen)
enters the body. It is responsible for the
sense of smell and helps in respiration and
speech production.
 NOSTRILS

• also called as “nares.” These are external openings in the nose and
serves as the passage of air into the body.
NASAL CAVITY
• inside part of the nose. It warm, moisturize and
filter the air that enters the body. It is lined with a
mucous membrane that helps keep the nose moist
by producing mucus.
CILIA
• tiny hairs that are located on the surface cells of the
mucous membrane that moves back and forth. The
mucus traps any foreign particles which moved by
the cilia toward the front of the nose. This helps
clean the air before it goes to the lungs.
MUCOUS MEMBRANE

• lines the nasal cavity. It produces mucus that is

moist and sticky that captures dust, germs, and
small particles that could irritate the lungs.
UPPER RESPIRATORY

2. HYANRXP

2. Pharynx or throat- passageway of air from the oral

and nasal cavities to the lungs, it is also the passage of food to the
esophagus. Adenoids and tonsils are located in the pharynx which plays
an important role to protect the body from infection.
 UPPER RESPIRATORY

3. RANXLY

3. Larynx or voice box – a hollow tubular structure

that connects the pharynx and the windpipe (trachea). It is where
the vocal folds or vocal cords lie and prevents the passage of food
and other foreign particles in the lower respiratory tracts. The
epiglottis is leaf-shaped flap cartilage behind the tongue which
protects the trachea during eating to prevent from inhalation of
food
II. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT

1. THERACA

TRACHEA or WIND PIPE –

a cartilaginous tube that connects the larynx
to the bronchi of the lungs. It serves as a
passageway of air, moistens, and warms
while it passes into the lungs.
II. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT

2. GULNS

2. Lungs – it is the primary organs of the respiratory

system. The lungs are protected by a bony and muscular
rib cage and, a double-layered membrane (pleura) that
lines the thoracic cavity and covers the lungs.
They help the oxygen we breathe enter the red blood cells
and get rid of carbon dioxide when we breathe out.
II. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT

3. RONCHIB AND LESHOIRONBC

3. Bronchi and Bronchioles – the two

branches that split from the trachea and lead directly
to the lungs, called bronchi (singular, bronchus).
Bronchioles are small bronchial tubes that deliver air
to alveoli.
II. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT

4. VALIOEL

4. Alveoli or Air sacs – tiny air sacs like

grapes located at the end of the bronchial tubes and are
surrounded by blood capillaries. The gas exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide happens between the alveoli
(singular, alveolus) and blood by the process of
diffusion
-Endpoint of the respiratory
system
-Exchange of O2 and CO2 in the
bloodstream
II. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT

5. PHARMGIAD

5. Diaphragm – a dome-shaped structure that

separates the chest and abdomen. It is the main
respiratory muscle responsible for inhalation and
exhalation. During inhalation, the lungs expand and the
diaphragm moves downward. In exhalation, the
diaphragm relaxes and returns to its normal shape.
• The air enters and is filtered in your nose. The air then
passes through the throat and into your windpipe,
which is called the trachea. Your trachea splits into two
branches, called bronchi that go into each of your two
lungs. The main organ of respiration is the lungs. These
branches continue to split into smaller branches called
bronchioles, like twigs on a tree. The smallest branches
end in thin air sacs called alveoli, like clusters of grapes,
where the gas exchange happens. The muscle that is
responsible for breathing is the diaphragm.
