Where is it Located
The respiratory system starts at your nose or
your mouth, then travels down your throat
and ends in your chest at your lungs.
How to Keep Your System Healthy
1.
Drink plenty of fluids.
2.
Do not smoke.
3.
Soup broth helps colds and coughs.
Main Parts
 The
Lungs
Parts of the System
 Nasal
Cavity
 Trachea
 Bronchi
 Bronchioles
 Pharynx
 Lungs
 Alveolus
 Diaphragm
 Larynx
Definitions of The Systems Parts
 Nasal
Cavity- The cavity on either side of the nasal
septum going from the nares to the pharynx.
 Trachea-
bronchi.
 Bronchi-
The windpipe going from larynx and the
A small branch of bronchous.
 Bronchioles Pharynx-
The same as bronchi.
The tube with its surrounding membrane
and muscles. It connects the mouth and the
esophagus.
Definitions of The System Parts
 Lungs-
Either of the two saclike respiratory organs in
the middle of humans and the higher vertebrates.
 Alveolus-
An air cell of the lungs, formed by tiny air
passageways.
 Diaphragm-
A muscular, membranous wall
separating cavitys, or limiting them.
 Larynx
- Membrane at the upper part of the
trachea in humans, in which the vocal cords are
located.
Diseases

Bronchitis- A condition in which the small airways in
the lungs become inflamed with a virus.

Asthma- When you have asthma, your lungs are
smaller than usual.

Lung Cancer- One of the commonest forms of
cancer.

Pneumonia- Inflammation of the of the lungs with
congestion.
Cure to The Diseases

Bronchitis- Sometimes, no treatment is necessary. Antibiotics
don’t work against viral infections. Most medications don’t
help treat bronchitis

Asthma- Control airway swelling, and stay away from things
that trigger your asthma.

Lung Cancer- Since Lung Cancer spreads fast, treatment
must include cancer-killing drugs (chemotherapy) taken by
mouth or injected into the body.

Pneumonia- Your doctor has to first decide whether you need
to be in the hospital. If you are treated in the hospital, you will
receive: Fluids and antibiotics in your veins Oxygen therapy
Breathing treatments (possibly)

5.
It is healthier to breath through you nose
than it is your mouth.
Cells cannot turn food into energy
without a constant supply of oxygen.
The ribs protect the lungs from injury.
The right lung is bigger than the left lung.
As people get older the number of
breaths lessens.
Other Systems It works With
 Digestive
System
 Circulatory
 Excretory
System
Sytem
Problems and What They
Affect
 Smoking-
Respiratory system, and
Circulatory system
 Diesel exhaust particles- Respiratory
system and the Circulatory system.
 Air Pollution- Respiratory system, and the
Circulatory system.
 Battery manufactuers- Respiratory System,
and the Circulatory system.
How it Works With Other Systems

Digestive- the respiratory system and the digestive
system work together to provide energy to body
cells.

Circulatory- the respiratory system and the
circulatory system work together when it supplies
the body with oxygen and it removes metabolic
waste products.

Excretory- The Excretory System and the
Respiratory System work together when they both
release waste.

The singer has a bad voice.
