• The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood
throughout the body. It contracts in two phases.

Beat It
When the top part relaxes, it fills with blood. When
it contracts, the top part squeezes blood to the
lower part.
• When the lower part contracts, it squeezes blood
from the heart into vessels and all parts of the
body.

• Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
• Veins bring blood back to the heart from the
lungs and the body.
• Oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide pass
through capillaries, or tiny vessels with very thin
walls, to parts of the body and into the blood.
• The heart, vessels, and blood are all part of the
circulatory system.

Breathe In, Breathe Out
• Organs in the respiratory system bring in oxygen
and release carbon dioxide.
• Air enters the body through the nose or mouth
and flows through a tube in the throat called the
trachea.

are spongy organs that expand to fill with air.

• The trachea branches into two smaller tubes
called bronchi.
• Bronchi branch into many bronchioles in the
lungs.

Tiny sacs called alveoli are attached to bronchioles.
They inflate and deflate as you inhale and exhale.

Asthma Attack
Constricted Airways
• Asthma is an illness that makes it hard for a
person to breathe.
• During an asthma attack, bronchi become swollen,
making airways smaller. This makes it much
harder to get air in and out of the lungs.

asthma attack?

Asthma Attack
Triggers
• The exact causes of asthma aren’t known.
• Some people are born with asthma, while for
other people, smoke, air pollution, and allergies
can trigger an asthma attack.

Asthma Attack
Management
• People can try to avoid asthma triggers; however,
people can’t always avoid pollen or air pollution.
• A doctor can prescribe an inhaler, a device that
delivers medication to the lungs. The inhaler
releases a mist that can help open up airways.
