1 Respiation
➢ Parts of the Respiration System.
Respiratory System – The organs
that help you to inhale oxygen and Nose / Mouth Air gets into the body through
exhale carbon dioxide as an output. Larynx Produce voice,

contain vocal cords to vibrate
The Human Respiration
Trachea It is a tube that carries air from the back of the mouth,
system (wind pipe) down through the neck towards the lungs.
Every cell does respiration to produce energy. It has strong cartilage rings around it.
It is a series of chemical reactions. cartilage rings keep the trachea open and prevent it
Energy is released. collapsing
Aerobic respiration use oxygen. Bronchi The two tubes that branch from the trachea.
Food – Carbohydrate is broken down into Glucose and glucose Made up of cartilage rings (Singular: Bronchus)
is delivered to every cell in the human body by blood. Bronchioles Small tubes leading into the lungs from a bronchus.
Allows the air to reach deeper into the lungs.
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water Air sacs Air filled spaces inside the lungs where the oxygen
Energy is released in this reaction. – energy for functioning cell goes into the blood, and the carbon dioxide comes

Aerobic respiration occurs in “Mitochondria” in a living cell.
Gas Exchange.
➢ How air moves in and out from your lungs.
➢ Structure of an Air Sac
Air move in to lungs Air move out of lungs
Air sac has a wall made of one cell
Nose / Mouth Nose / Mouth layer.
Each air sac is surrounded by a
Larynx (voice box) Larynx (voice box) network of thin blood vessels called
“blood capillaries”.

Bronchi Bronchi single layer of very thin cells.
Bronchioles Bronchioles ➢ Gas exchange in the air sac.
Oxygen breathed in from the air passes through the alveoli and into
Air sacs Air sacs the blood and travels to the issues throughout the body.
Carbon dioxide travels in the blood from the body tissues and
passes though the alveoli to be breathed out
