What is this organ system?

Circulatory System Respiratory System

Respiratory System
 Also called the HUMAN BREATHING
SYSTEM
 This organ system is responsible for
taking in oxygen and expelling
carbon dioxide
 The respiratory system is made up of
the organs in the body that help us
to breathe.
 RESPIRATION is linked to breathing
Parts of the Respiratory
System
NOSE and MOUTH

Are the two openings

that allow oxygen to
enter the respiratory
system.
Parts of the Respiratory
System
NASAL CAVITY
Or
NASAL PASSAGEWAYS

This part traps dust, pollen,

and other particles and
warms the air.
Parts of the Respiratory
System
PHARYNX

Is our throat

LARYNX

Is our voicebox
Parts of the Respiratory
System
TRACHEA

It is also known as the

windpipe, is a long, tube-
like structure that carries
air from the larynx to the
lungs.
Parts of the Respiratory
System
LUNGS

It is the MAIN organ of the

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
They are responsible for
exchanging oxygen and carbon
dioxide with the blood. This
process, called gas exchange, is
essential for life
Parts of the Respiratory
System
BRONCHI

The TWO branching tubes

that connect the trachea to
the lungs. They are
responsible for distributing air
to the lungs and for helping to
protect the lungs from harmful
particles and bacteria.
Parts of the Respiratory
System
BRONCHIOLES

These are the hairlike

tubes that connect to the
bronchioles alveoli. The bronchioles
are the smallest airways in
the lungs.
Parts of the Respiratory
System
ALVEOLI

These are the air sacs that

allow gas exchange in the
bronchioles lungs.
What happens when we breathe
in and breathe out?
What happens when we breathe in and
breathe out?
When you breathe in or inhale, the diaphragm muscle contracts. Inhaling
moves the diaphragm down and expands the chest cavity. There is now
more space and less air pressure inside the lungs. The air pushes in from
the outside where there is higher pressure. It pushes into the lungs where
there is lower air pressure.

When you breathe out or exhale, the diaphragm muscle relaxes. The
diaphragm and ribs return to their original place. The chest cavity returns
to its original size. There is now less space and greater air pressure inside
the lungs. It pushes the air outside where there is lower air pressure.
Circulatory System
 Also called the
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
 This organ system is the life
support structure that
nourishes your cells.
 It functions with other body
systems to deliver different
materials in the body.
Parts of the Circulatory
System
HEART

It pumps blood
throughout the body.
It is located at the
center of the chest,
between the lungs
 Parts of the Circulatory
System

BLOOD VESSELS

VEINS ARTERIES
- Carry blood - Carry blood
toward the heart away the heart

CAPILLARIES – smallest blood vessel in the body

Parts of the Circulatory
System
BLOOD

It carries the materials

throughout the body. It is
composed of plasma, red blood
cells, white blood cells, and
platelet
Blood is about 1/12 of our body
weight
 HEART

The HEART is a hollow muscle, which is as big as your fist.

It has four chambers with specific
tasks to do. The two atria are the
receiving chambers of the heart,
accepting blood from the body and
from the lungs. The two ventricles are
the pumping chambers, moving blood
to the lungs and into the body. There is
a valve between each atrium and
ventricle to prevent the blood from
flowing backward. The valves are like
one-way doors that keep the blood
from moving in only one direction.
 PARTS OF A HEART

Neptune is the farthest Despite being red,
planet from the Sun Mars is a cold place

Purkinje fibers Septum

Saturn is composed of Jupiter is a gas giant
hydrogen and helium and the biggest planet
KEY CONCEPTS:
CIRCULATORY &
RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS
WORKING TOGETHER
Air first enters your lungs and then into
the left part of the heart. It is driven by
your heart into the bloodstream, all the
way throughout the body. The heart pumps
blood, which transports essential nutrients,
oxygen, and other chemicals to every cell
in your body. Once it reaches cells,
oxygen processes the nutrients to release
energy. Carbon dioxide is given off during
the process. The blood delivers carbon
dioxide into the right portion of the heart,
from which it is pumped to the lungs.
Carbon dioxide leaves your body through
the lungs when you exhale,

NEXT SLIDES TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT THE TYPES OF
CIRCULATION
Pulmonary Circulation

 is the movement of
blood from the
heart, to the lungs
and, back to the
heart.
Coronary Circulation
 is the movement of
blood through the
tissues of the heart.
Systemic Circulation
 is the movement of
blood from the
heart, to the rest of
the body, excluding
the lungs.
Cigarette Smoking

Cigarette smoking is the act of inhaling the smoke produced

by burning tobacco. Cigarettes are the most common form
of tobacco smoking, but cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco
are also smoked
Cigarette Smoking
Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ in the body,
causing many illnesses and affecting health in general.
The negative effects of smoking on circulatory system
include increased heart rate and blood pressure,
coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, and vascular
diseases. The respiratory diseases caused by smoking
are chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, cough,
colds, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory
infections.
HOW TO PREVENT:
The best way to prevent diseases in the respiratory and circulatory systems is
to have a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, regular exercise,
adequate rest, proper hygiene, and avoiding vices such as cigarette smoking
and alcohol drinking Respiratory and circulatory disease can easily be detected
with regular health check-up and physical screening. Perhaps, air pollution can
be discussed as well, which one's respiratory system.
