Air enters through the nasal passage or mouth. Passes through the pharynx.

Opening in the back of the mouth

Larynx/ Adams Apple

Vocal folds-Allows vocal communication

Larynx contains
Glottis and epiglottis Protects during swallowing & allows air exchange

Larynx to Trachea Trachea enters the chest Trachea breaks into 2 major branches

Bronchus Leads to opposite sides of chest

Bronchi from smaller airways

Bronchioles

Bronchioles form into smaller opening

Alveoli Gas exchange

Alveoli
Gas Exchange Capillaries

Brings inhaled air to the circulating blood

Blood is delivered into the pulmonary circulation

Low in oxygen/high in carbon dioxide Gas exchanged with the alveoli

Hemoglobin absorbs the maximum amount of oxygen

Blood enters veins high in oxygen/ low in

carbon dioxide

2 step process: 1st step

Muscles between ribs contract and raise,

expanding the chest Diaphragm contracts Increasing the volume of air in the chest Lowering pressure within the lungs

During the process the lungs remain in close contact with the lining of the thorax

2nd step
Intercostal muscle relaxes Diaphragm relaxes and domes forward

towards the chest Elastic tissue drives out air Forces air outward

Around the room you will see various cards with pictures and vocab words on them.

You will.
Get up out of your seats Go get a card Read the word on the card Write something that you learned on the card With a partner a discuss what the card said and why it is important to the respiratory system

GO

Basic respiration rate changes due to what the body does.

Active=muscles producing more Carbon

Dioxide Special receptors detect the increase in CO2 in the blood Signals are sent to the brain Brain sends a message to increase respiration rate

Animal Respiration Rate

Animal
Cat Dog Sheep Cow Horse Human Guinea Pig Hamster

Respiration Rate (breaths per minute)

26 22 19 30 12 12 90 74

Why is this important?

Key points Air passes through the pharynx The Larynx is the opening to the major airways The epiglottis allows free exchange of air Air enters into the trachea which is an entrance to the chest. Bronchi branches from the trachea-entering into the lungs Bronchioles have smooth muscles on walls that open or close to protect the lungs

Key points continued

Alveoli are the smallest opening that allows

for gas exchange Capillaries surround the alveoli which brings air near circulating blood Blood delivered is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide-pulmonary circulation Blood entering is high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide-pulmonary veins Hemoglobin absorbs oxygen 2 steps in breathing-chest expands increasing volume-chest contracts decreasing volume

You will have the opportunity to create a Road Map for the respiratory system. You may work in partners or individually.

You will be creating this travel guide for someone who has never been to the respiratory system.

Must include all parts of respiratory system May look like a brochure, map, or travel guide Can be creative and colorful
