 At this station you will:
 Learn the 2 main functions of the respiratory system.
 Learn the main parts of the respiratory system.
 Learn about the function of the diaphragm in
breathing.

to learn about the Respiratory System. Record the answers to the
following questions on your data sheet:
What is the function of the Respiratory System? (pgs. 113-114)
What are the main parts or organs of the Respiratory System
(pgs. 114-116)?

 What are the parts of the respiratory system?
 Common names?
 Pharynx
 Larynx
 Trachea
Keep Thinking…
 Trace the path of air as it travels from the outside
environment through the human body.
 Name the structures in order through which the air
travels as it enters the body.
The Diaphragm
 This muscle plays and important role in
breathing.
 Brainstorm with your team about what the
major responsibility of the diaphragm
muscle is.
 Record your results.
The Ribs
 The rib bones play an important role in
breathing.
 Brainstorm with your team about what the
major responsibility of the ribs is.
 Record your results.
A Breath of Fresh Air…Lung Model
 At your station is a model of a lung (pg. 121) that will
demonstrate what happens during inhalation and exhalation.
 Draw a diagram of the model (pg. 121) on your data sheet. Add
labels to show which parts of the model represent the chest
cavity, diaphragm, lungs, and trachea.
 Make the model “breathe”: Use one hand to hold the bottle
firmly. With the knuckles of your other hand, push upward on
the large balloon at the bottom of the bottle, causing it to form a
dome. Remove your knuckles from the balloon, letting the
balloon flatten. Repeat this procedure a few times. Observe
what happens to the small balloon. Record your observations.

and circulatory systems (Textbook pg. 114).
Describe how the digestive and circulatory systems
work with the respiratory system.
Breathing could not take place without the diaphragm
and the ribs (Textbook pgs. 118-119).
Describe how the diaphragm and ribs make breathing
possible.
Are there other body systems required for respiration
to take place?
