Set of organs that allows a person to breath and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide
Respiratory System
is the term for the exchange of
oxygen from the environment and the
carbon dioxide from the body cells.
Respiration
Exchanging air between the body and the
outside environment known as
External Respiration
Bringing oxygen to the cells and removing
carbon dioxide from them is referred to as
Internal Respiration
are two air-filled, spongy organs
that are situated on either side of the
chest.
Lungs
subsequently split into
bronchioles, which are smaller branches
bronchi
are collections of small air sacs
that form the end of the bronchioles.
Alveoli
FOUR PHASES OF THE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
Breathing or Ventilation
External Respiration Internal Respiration
Cellular Respiration
Draws gasses
into the lungs.
Inhalation (Inspiration)
- Forces gasses
out of the lungs.
Exhalation (Expiration)
The gasses involved in the Respiratory
System
CARBON DIOXIDE AND OXYGEN
Air from the outside environment enters
the nose or mouth
External Respiration
pharynx
throat
larynx
voice box
It refers to the exchange of oxygen and
carbon dioxide between the blood and the
body cells
INTERNAL RESPIRATION
It is the process of using oxygen
(oxidation) to break down sugar (glucose)
in food, producing energy (ATP) in cells
and releasing carbon dioxide as a waste
product
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
contains the paranasal sinuses
where air is warmed and cilia which is
responsible for filtering out foreign bodies.
Nose
is the common
space used by both the respiratory and
digestive systems.
pharynx (throat)
conducts air into the
lower respiratory tract
Larynx (voice box)
a is a flexible tube also called a
windpipe. Its main function is to carry air
in and out of your lungs and provides a
reliable pathway for oxygen to enter your
body
trachea
The body’s cells are supplied with oxygen
and nutrients through the heart, blood, and
blood vessels.
Blood transports carbon dioxide to the
lungs (for exhale) and takes up oxygen
through the network of arteries, veins, and
capillaries
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
is the movement of blood
through the vessels of the body that is
induced by the pumping action of the
heart and serves and distributes nutrients
and oxygen to all parts of the body and
removes waste products as well.
Circulation
, located in your chest, is
tilted towards the left side.
Heart
Types of blood vessels
Arteries, Veins, Capilliaries
