    The respiratory system can be divided into an upper and lower system. The upper system includes the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx. The lower system includes the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. During inhalation, the diaphragm and rib cage expand to decrease chest pressure and allow air into the lungs. In the alveoli, gases dissolve in moist mucus and oxygen enters the bloodstream while carbon dioxide leaves in the lungs. Exhalation is the reverse process where the diaphragm and ribs contract to increase chest pressure and push air out. Diseases that can affect the respiratory system include asthma, pneumonia, lung cancer, and COPD. Maintaining lung health involves avoiding pollution

    INHALATION
    • Diaphragm is raised.
    • Rib cage is raised.
    • Chest volume increases.
    • Pressure in Chest
    decreases.
    • Air enters the lungs to
    equalize the pressure

    inhalation
    Gas Exchange
    Air moves in and
    out of alveolus

    Gases dissolve
    moist mucus lining
    Exhalation
    CO2

    • Diaphragm is relaxes.
    • Rib cage is contract.
    • Chest volume decreases.
    • Pressure in Chest
    increases.
    • Air from the lungs to
    words mouth.
