RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

By Mariah jones

ORGANS IN THE SYSTEM

Organs in the respiratory

system are the lungs,

mouth, nose, trachea, and

diaphragm. The respiratory

system is involved in the

intake and exchange of

oxygen and carbon dioxide

between an organism and

the environment.

FUNCTION IN THE SYSTEM

In fish and many invertebrates, respiration takes place

through the gills. Other animals, such as insects, have

respiratory systems with very simple features. Plants

also have respiratory systems but the gas exchange can

be opposite to that in animals. The respiratory system in

plants also includes features such as holes on the

undersides of leaves known as stomata.

The respiratory system or as in ventilatory system is another

name for it

It works with the circulatory system

If the respiratory system did not work properly, a person could

become very ill and may even die

The ALVEOLI are grouped together like a lot of interlinked caves,

rather than existing as separate individual sacs.

OTHER SYSTEMS THAT WORK WITH THIS SYSTEM

PROCESS OF HOW IT WORKS

The respiratory system makes sure that all of the organs receive

nutrients and fresh blood cells. If the respiratory system did not

work properly, a person could become very ill and may even die.

The system works by making the body healthy and keeping all the

organs healthy. The lungs make sure the body has fresh oxygen

that is sent to the heart and all of the other organs in the human

body.

Oxygen enters the

respiratory system through the

mouth and the nose. The

oxygen then passes through

the larynx (where speech

sounds are produced) and the

trachea which is a tube that

enters the chest cavity.

Respiration is achieved through the

mouth, nose, trachea. The primary

function of the respiratory system is to

supply the blood with oxygen in order

for the blood to deliver oxygen to all

parts of the body. The respiratory

system does this through breathing.

When we breathe, we inhale oxygen

and exhale carbon dioxide., lungs, and

diaphragm.

ABOUT OTHER ORGANS

LUNGS

The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory

system. in the oxygen is taken into the body and

carbon dioxide is breathed out . The red blood cells

are responsible for picking up the oxygen to all the

body cells, then pick up the carbon dioxide back to

the lungs and we breathe it out when we exhale

TRACHEA

The trachea is sometimes called windpipe . The

trachea filters the air we breathe and branches into

the bronchi

BRONCHI

The bronchi are two air tubes that branch off of the

trachea and carry air directly into the lungs

DIAPHRAGM

Breathing starts with a dome shaped muscle at the bottom of the lungs called

the diaphragm .when you breathe in, the diaphragm contracts it flattens out and

pulls downward . This movement enlarges the space that the lungs are in . This

larger space pulls air into the lungs . When you breathe out the diaphragm

expands reducing the amount of space for the lungs and forcing air out the

diaphragm is the main muscle used in breathing
