WHAT IS THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM ?
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IS MADE UP OF THE ORGANS IN
YOUR BODY THAT HELP YOU TO BREATHE. THE MAIN ORGAN
OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM WILL BE YOUR LUNGS.
VOCABULARY WORDS:
1. PHARYNX - MEMBRANE CAVITY BEHIND THE NOSE AND MOUTH,
CONNECTING THEM TO THE ESOPHAGUS(CANAL THAT
CONNECTS THE THROAT AND STOMACH).
2. LARYNX - MUSCULAR ORGAN FORMING AN AIR PASSAGE TO THE
LUNGS AND HOLDING THE VOCAL CORDS; VOICE BOX.
3. TRACHEA - A.K.A WINDPIPE, FILTERS AIR WE BREATHE AND BRANCHES
INTO THE BRONCHI; MEMBRANOUS TUBE, EXTENDING
FROM LARYNX TO THE BRONCHIAL TUBES AND
CONVEYING AIR TO AND FROM THE LUNGS.
4. LUNGS - ORGANS SITUATED WITHIN THE RIB CAGE, CONSISTING OF
ELASTIC SACS WITH BRANCHING PASSAGES INTO WHICH
AIR IS DRAWN, OXYGEN CAN PASS INTO THE BLOOD AND
CARBON DIOXIDE BE REMOVED.
5. Bronchus (bronchi) - two air tubes that branch off of the trachea
and carry air directly into the lungs.
6. Bronchioles(Bronchial)Tubes - located in your lungs, these tubes
let air in and out of your lungs, so
you can breathe.
7. Alveoli - tiny air sacs in the lungs where they exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide takes place.
STEPS OF THE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM :
1.
Breathing Starts at your nose and mouth, when
inhaling air (Oxygen) it will travel through your
nose or mouth.
2.
The oxygen will through your nose, were the air
is mouistered, warmth, and filtered. And go to
the nasal cavity and down to the pharynx.
3.
The pharynx (is a canal that connects with the
throat), the oxygen will then travel down to the
larynx (voice box and forms a air passage to
the lungs).
4.
Oxygen will go through the trachea (is a form
like tube, where the air is being
conveyed(transport) to the lungs).
5.
Once the air is being transported to the lungs,
it will travel to the bronchus (two air tubes
branching off the trachea carrying air
directly to the lungs).
6.
Once the oxygen goes through the bronchus it will
then go to the bronchiole tubes (located in your
lungs, these tubes let air in and out of your lungs, so
you can breathe).
7.
At the of the bronchiole, there are alveoli. In the
capillaries, and inside the capillaries there is alveoli
(tiny air sacs in the lungs where they exchange
oxygen and carbon dioxide). Alveoli are surrounded
by a tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
QUESTION 1:
What is the importance of Cilia ?
Cilia is important because they filter out dust or other particles to prevent harm inside
your body. Cilia are also found in your air passages, which help sweep unwanted
particles, and clean the air passages. Cilia prevent harmful substances.
THE FLOW OF OXYGEN &
DEOXYGENATED BLOOD IN
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Oxygen is carried in the blood by
Red blood Cells, and remove waste
which is Carbon Dioxide through the
body. Inside the Red Blood Cells
there is a protein called
Hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin is made up of iron
which transports oxygen through the
lungs and through the whole body.
*In this picture you can see the oxygen from
the inhaled air passes through the alveoli walls
and into the blood. After absorbing oxygen,
the blood leaves the lungs and is carried to
your heart. Your heart then pumps it through
your body to provide oxygen to the cells of
your tissues and organs. As the cells use the
oxygen, carbon dioxide is produced and
absorbed into the blood. Your blood then
carries the carbon dioxide back to your lungs,
where it is removed from the body when you
exhale.*
WHAT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE
WHO HAS ANEMIA ?
Sickle cell anemia produces a deformed
hemoglobin protein, which deforms the red
blood cells. The red blood cell is no longer
thick, soft, and round, it is not hard, sticky
and sharp. It’s in the shape of a sickle, a
type of curved ax. A person that has
anemia would have a lack of oxygen and
protein in their body. Oxygen is not being
transported properly throughout the body.
Red blood cells are being lost quickly , the
body is producing red blood cells slowly, or
the body is destroying the red blood cells.
This is a mutation that the person has in their
DNA, causing them to have anemia.
WHICH SIDE OF THE HEART IS
BIGGER AND WHY ?
The left side of your Heart is bigger. Why ?
Because since a big amount of air
(Oxygen) goes through your Pulmonary
Vein, Veins carry blood back to the heart.
Oxygenated Blood always goes on the
left side of your heart which is the left
atria, and left ventricle. Since the left side
of your heart connects with the Aorta,
which delivers blood through your body.
The left side must me bigger because it
has to deliver blood to your whole body,
which is the aortas job.
