The Respiratory System

By Nikki Shannon

The Respiratory System

Breath in oxygen and out carbon dioxide

Works by getting good air in and bad air out

All starts at the nose

With no oxygen brain would not function properly and die

Alveolus

Air sacks

Formed at the top of your lungs

Also known as the Alveoli

Lungs

Helps you breathe

Helps you breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen

Puts oxygen all throughout your body

Diaphragm

Separates the Abdominal cavity from the Chest cavity

Allows the lungs to fill with air

Larynx

Another word for voice box

Where the breathing and food separates

It is the Adam’s apple

Bronchus

The tubes inside of your lungs

Held open by cartilage

Trachea

Leads to the Pharynx and the lungs

Carries air to the mouth nose and lungs

Bronchioles

Tiniest part of the Bronchus

Carries air to the alveolus

In charge of how much air can come in and out
