RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Every breath in gives oxygen

for our whole body

each breath out provides carbon dioxide

two gases exchanging

each breath your mouth or nose in goes oxygen

past the pharynx, past the flap of epiglottis

your voice box larynx, then the trachea divides

air enters the lungs into the primary bronchi

in the bronchial tree, oxygen keeps on traveling, see ?

deep in the bronchioles

to air cluster sacs called

sacs called alveoli, with capillaries on the outside

blood picks up the oxygen, drops off it’s CO2 waste, then

two gases exchange in

lungs, they are two gray organs, spongy

oxygen respiratory

for the purpose of exchanging gases through your

blood, it takes the oxygen carries

from your lungs through your body

then releases waste of CO2 gases breathe out

inside of an alveolus

where the exchange of gases happens

each molecule of oxygen

diffuses into a capillary, enters the blood


from the plasma to the RBC

that’s the red blood cells, oxygen binding

with heme part of the hemoglobin protein

to make oxyhemoglobin complete

then the carbon dioxide

blood drops off a waste gas

goes the other direction

from the blood, alveoli, back up to the bronchi

travel up through the trachea

larynx, pharynx then the final area

exiting nasal or oral cavity

uall of that happens every time you breathe

your diaphragm helps you breathe

right below your lungs, muscle underneath

when you breathe in it contracts

moves down so your lungs can expand

your rib bones protecting

intercostal muscles in between each

also help lungs expand and condense

helpful these muscles surrounding

two gases exchange in

lungs, they are two gray organs, spongy

oxygen respiratory

for the purpose of exchanging gases through your

blood, it takes the oxygen carries


from your lungs through your body

then releases waste of CO2 gases breathe out
