from your nose into the throat, through the
air tubes, and into the lungs.

PARTS AND
FUNCTION
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
 Respiratory System
Function
• Respiratory systems allow animals to move
oxygen (needed for cellular respiration) into
body tissues and remove carbon dioxide
(waste product of cellular respiration) from
cells.
• Respiratory system is made up of the
organs in your body that help you to
breathe.
 Respiratory System
• Functionsystem is a
The human respiratory
series of organs responsible for taking in
oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.

• The primary organs of the respiratory

system are lungs, which carry out this
exchange of gases as we breathe
 RESPIRATION
Respiration is the movement of
oxygen from the outside environment to
the cells within tissues, and the
transport of carbon dioxide in the
opposite direction
Four Respiration Processes
1. Breathing
2. External Respiration
(ventilation)
air in to and out of gas exchange between
lungs air and blood

3. Internal Respiration 4. Cellular Respiration

blood and tissues ATP, carbon dioxide as
waste
 Parts of the Respiratory
System and their Function
 Upper Parts of
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
 NOSE
The nose itself is made
mostly of cartilage, skin, and
a mucous membrane lining.
It is often called the "air
conditioning chamber"
because it warms and
moistens air before it goes to
the lungs.
 NOSE
• It is the entrance and the
exit of air in the body
• It filters and cleans the air
before it goes to the lungs
by the used of the nasal
hair inside the nose
 NASAL CAVITY
• The nasal cavity is the inside
of the nose and is lined with
mucous membrane to keep
your nose moist.
• The nasal cavity functions to
humidify, warm, filter, and act
as a conduit for inspired air.
 PHARYNX
• Space used by both the
respiratory and digestive
systems.

• It is called throat serves

as the pathway for both
air and food.
 LARYNX
• It connects the pharynx
to the trachea.
• It is the voice box, an
organ in the neck that
plays a crucial role in
speech and breathing.
 Lower Parts of
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
TRACHEA
• It is also known as the
windpipe.

• It is a hollow tube that

serves as the
passageway of air into the
lungs.
BRONCHI
• The bronchial tubes
(or bronchi) carries air into
the lungs from the trachea.
• They branch into smaller
tubes called bronchioles,
and then to the smallest
tubes that contain the alveoli
(air sacs) of the lungs.
LUNGS
• The Lungs are the main
organs for breathing

• The left bronchus leads to

the left lung while the right
bronchus leads to the
right lung.
ALVEOLI
• The alveoli or “air
sac” are moist, thin-
walled pockets which
are the site of gas
exchange.
 ALVEOLUS
• inhaled oxygen moves
from the alveoli to the
blood in the capillaries,
and carbon dioxide
moves from the blood
in the capillaries to the
air in the alveoli.
 DIAPHRAGM
• It is a dome-shaped sheet
of muscle just below the
lungs and heart.
• It is the main muscle of
respiration, playing a very
important role in the
breathing process.
 DIAPHRAGM
• It contracts and flattens
when you inhale. This
creates a vacuum effect
that pulls air into the
lungs. When you exhale,
the diaphragm relaxes
and the air is pushed out
of lungs.

exchange)
Mechanism of Respiration
The process of breathing, or respiration, is divided into
two distinct phases.
• The first phase is called inspiration, or inhaling.
When the lungs inhale, the diaphragm contracts
and pulls downward. At the same time, the muscles
between the ribs contract and pull upward. This
increases the size of the thoracic cavity and
decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes
in and fills the lungs.
• The second phase is called expiration, or
exhaling. When the lungs exhale, the diaphragm
relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic cavity
decreases, while the pressure within it increases. As
a result, the lungs contract and air is forced out.

that can float on water
 SCIENCE
FACT
Each of your lungs contains about 300 million balloon-like
structures called alveoli, which replace the carbon-dioxide waste in
your blood with oxygen. When these structures are filled with air,
the lungs become the only organs in the human body that can float
on water.
In fact, medical examiners use the so-called "lung float test" during
autopsies to determine if a baby was stillborn (died in the womb).
If the lungs float, the baby was born alive; if the lungs don't float,
the baby was stillborn. This method is accurate 98 percent of the
time, according to a 2013 study in the International Journal of
Legal Medicine.
DISEASES
DESCRIPTION, CAUSES
AND PREVENTIONS
 DISEASES OF THE
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
• A type of disease that affects the lungs and
other parts of the respiratory system.

• Respiratory diseases may be caused by

infection, by smoking tobacco, or by
breathing in secondhand tobacco smoke,
radon, asbestos, or other forms of air
pollution.
EMPHYSEMA
Emphysema is a chronic
lung disease that primarily
affects the air sacs
(alveoli) in the lungs.
These air sacs become
damaged and lose their
elasticity, making it
difficult to exhale air
properly.
EMPHYSEMA
CAUSES PREVENTION

cigarette smoke, air smoke and environmental
pollutants.

PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia is an infection
that inflames the air sacs in
one or both lungs. It can be
caused by various
pathogens such as bacteria,
viruses, or fungi, leading to
symptoms like cough, fever,
and difficulty breathing.
