THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
 BREATHING
• IS THE PROCESS THAT DELIVERS OXYGEN
WHERE IT IS NEEDED IN THE BODY AND
REMOVES CARBON DIOXIDE
• WE BREATHE IN TO ALLOW OXYGEN TO MOVE IN
OUR BLOODSTREAM AND WE BREATHE OUT TO
REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE FROM OUR BLOOD

 NOSE AND MOUTH (NASAL
CAVITY)
 THE NOSE IS WHAT WE NORMALLY
USE TO INHALE AND EXHALE.
 IT HAS TWO HOLES CALLED
NOSTRILS WHICH AIR PASSES
 IT HAS TINY HAIRS CALLED CILIA

WHICH ACT AS FILTER TO CATCH
DUST AND OTHER SMALL PARTICLES
IN THE AIR WE BREATHE
 THE MOUTH IS WHAT WE USE TO
BREATH WHEN WE NEED MORE AIR
THAN WHAT CAN WE TAKEN IN
THROUGH THE NOSTRILS.

try this!
Try to swallow and
breathe at the same
time. Could you, do it?

No, because your epiglottis is

closed during the swallowing
reflex

PHARYNX AND LARYNX
PHARYNX​ LARYNX​
KNOWN AS THE
IS THE OPENING “VOICE BOX”
JUST BEHIND THE BECAUSE IT
NOSE AND MOUTH HOUSES THE
VOCAL CORDS
BOTH FOOD AND
AIR PASS AT THE TOP OF
THROUGH IT THE IT IS THE
EPIGLOTTIS
IT IS LINED WITH WHICH AIDS IN
TISSUES CALLED CLOSING IT
TONSILS TIGHTLY TO
PREVENT THE
PASSAGE OF FOOD
OR LIQUIDS

TRACHEA AND BRONCHI
BRONCHI​
TRACHEA​
WINDPIPE

A TUBE WHERE
RESPIRATORY
GAS
TRANSPORT THESE
BRONCHIOLES END OF THE TRACHEA
lead to air sacs WHICH HAVE SEVERAL
called ALVEOLI THIN-WALLED
where most of the BRANCHES CALLED
gas exchange BRONCHIOLES
happens
DIAPHRAGM
• LOCATED BELOW
YOUR LUNGS
• DIVIDES THE
CHEST CAVITY
FROM THE
ABDOMEN

11
LUNGS
• MOST ESSENTIAL
ORGAN FOR
RESPIRATION
• MAIN FUNCTION IS
TO TRANSFER
OXYGEN INTO THE
BLOODSTREAM
AND TO EXCRETE
CARBON DIOXIDE
INTO THE AIR

12
 MECHANISM OF BREATHING
INHALATION (INSPIRATION) AND
EXHALATION (EXPIRATION)
o Are the process by which the body takes in
oxygen and expels​carbon dioxide during
breathing
WHAT PART OF THE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM HELPS US TO BREATHE?

The DIAPHRAGM AND THE

INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES
