Respiratory

System
Quarter 1 Module 1
The respiratory system is the
organ system responsible in
supplying oxygen in
the human body.
 In humans, the main organs
responsible for respiration are
present in thoracic cavity. In the
thorax region, the rib cage and
the dome shape fibrous tissue,

known as the diaphragm are

observed
Present within the rib cage
are the pleural
membranes which enclose
the lungs
 The right lung is
subdivided into three
lobes:
the right
superior, the right
middle, and the right
inferior lobes.
The left lung is smaller
and has only
two lobes: the left
superior and the left
inferior lobes
 Both the lungs are associated
externally
with small two tubular bronchi
which unite and extend into the
trachea. The trachea has
incomplete C-shape rings of
cartilage which prevent the tracheal
wall from collapsing. The
trachea leads into the pharynx
which is connected to the nostril.

 In the given framework of the human body below, illustrate the blood flow and gas
exchange in the respiratory and circulatory systems using diagrams and arrows. Color your
work to show the distinction of oxygen and carbon dioxide carried in the blood.
