Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Excretion System
1. Respiratory System
2. Digestive System
3. Urinary System
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Respiratory System
• All cells need oxygen
• Carbon dioxide is the
waste product from
cellular activity
• Urinary system and
respiratory system
work to remove waste
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Respiratory System Consists
•
•
•
•
•
•
Nose
Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchial tubes
Alveoli
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Nose
• Nares – two openings
• Nasal septum – separate the nares
• Cilia – hairlike structures that propel mucus, pus, and dust
particles
• Nose warms, moistens, and filters air
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Pharynx
• Nasopharynx – upper
section
– Tonsils
– Eustachian tube
• Oropharynx – middle
section
– Receive air and food
• Laryngopharynx – lower
section
– Opening to esophagus
– Opening to trachea
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Larynx
•
•
•
•
Voice box
Thyroid cartilage – adam’s apple

foreign substance from entering
the trachea when swallowing

Revised: August 2007
Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, and Alveoli
• Trachea – c-shaped
cartilage
• Bronchi – divide to left
and right
(right side is not as angled)
• Bronchioles – smaller
branches
• Alveoli – sacs surrounded
by blood vessels that
exchange gases

Revised: August 2007
Diaphragm
• Has characteristics of
both voluntary and
involuntary muscles
• Dome-shaped muscle
• Divides thorax from
abdomen
• Contracts during
inhalation
• Relaxes during
exhalation
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Breathing Process
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Inhalation
• Diaphragm and
intercostal muscles
contract, increasing the
size of the thoracic cavity.
• Pressure in the lungs
decreases.
• Air travels to the lungs.
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Exhalation
• Diaphragm and intercostal
muscles relax.
• As the muscles relax, all
dimensions of the thorax
decrease.
• Pressure in the lungs
increases.
• Air flows out of the lungs.
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Exchange of Oxygen and
Carbon Dioxide
• Oxygen-rich air is delivered to alveoli with inspiration.
• Oxygen diffuses into the blood.
• The body does not use all the inhaled oxygen.
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Control of Breathing
• Involuntary:
– Medulla oblongata
controls breathing increases breathing rate if
the carbon dioxide level in
blood becomes too high
– Hypoxic drive is a “backup
system - activates when
oxygen levels fall to
stimulate breathing
• Voluntary Control
Broward County Public Schools
Revised: August 2007
Normal Breathing Rates
