3. Oxygen Cell Hi I am O2 ,you can call
me oxygen, and I will be your guide today.
I advise you keep all feet
and hands inside the ride at all times.

4. Respiratory Intro
You may be asking, what is the Respiratory system? Well, the Respiratory system is the system that helps you breath in and out, so oxygen (02) can be pumped through your body and carbon dioxide (CO2) can be removed from the blood stream. You must remember that the Respiratory system is made up of many different organs. JH

Alveoli (air-sacs)
Thin-walled blood vessels called capillaries
Very thin cells line the alveoli so that O2 and CO2 can pass in and out of the blood.
Bronchioles pass air to and from your alveoli.
The Trachea is held open by partial rings of cartilage.

8. Welcome The Respiratory System Now we will begin our tour. Welcome to…MB

9. The Nose and Mouth This is where it all begins.
This is where the oxygen first
enters your body and also where
Carbon Dioxide leaves. MB

10. The Nose and Mouth When the air comes into your nose it gets
filtered by tiny hairs and it is moistened by the
mucus that is in your nose.
Your sinuses also help out with your
Respiratory System. They help to moisten
and heat the air that you breath.
Air can also get into your body through your
mouth/oral cavity but air is not filtered as
much when it enters in through your mouth. MB

13. The Pharynx and Trachea
Next we will head down to your pharynx
(throat) and your trachea (windpipe).
This is where the air passes from your
nose to your bronchi tubes and lungs. MB

14. The Pharynx and Trachea
(Throat)
Mouth
Trachea
Your pharynx (throat) gathers air after it passes
through your nose and then the air is passed down to
your trachea (windpipe).
Your trachea is held open by “incomplete rings
of cartilage.” Without these rings your trachea
might close off and air would not be able to get
to and from your lungs. MB

16. The Bronchi Tubes and Bronchiole Intro
Your trachea (windpipe) splits up into
two bronchi tubes. These two tubes keep
splitting up and form your bronchiole. MB

17. The Bronchi Tubes and Bronchiole
These bronchi tubes split up, like
tree branches, and get smaller and smaller
inside your lungs.
The air flows past your bronchi tubes
and into your bronchiole. These tubes
keep getting smaller and smaller until they
finally end with small air sacs (called alveoli).
But we will go there later… MB

20. The Alveoli and Capillary Network
Now we will head over to the
alveoli and what happens when the
air finally makes it down there. MB

21. The Alveoli and Capillary Network
Your alveoli are tiny air sacs
that fill up with air/oxygen when you
breath in.
Your alveoli are surrounded by
many tiny blood vessels called
capillaries.
The walls of your alveoli (and capillaries) are
so thin that the oxygen or carbon dioxide can
pass through them, traveling right into, or
out of your blood stream. MB

22. Alveoli Picture Here is a close Capillary up picture of your Alveoli
and a Capillary

Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen diffuses through the membrane into the blood stream. Carbon Dioxide diffuses through the membrane and enters the alveolus.

29. Intro to Diaphragm
Now we will look at the Diaphragm. You might be wondering, what does the Diaphragm do? The Diaphragm is an important factor in breathing. JH

30. Diagram of Diaphragm JH

31. Here is an experiment that you can try.
Diaphragm Experiment JH

32. Experiment Instructions
1st you need a bottle that you can sacrifice to
cut up.
2nd you cut the bottom of the bottle and put a big balloon on the bottom.
Experiment Instructions
3rd get a rubber cork ( make sure it blocks the hole)and put a hole through it ( top to bottom). Insert a thin tube into the cork and place a balloon on the bottom of the tube.
4th make sure the thing is airtight. JH

33. Key Words
Respiratory System- The group of organs in your body that are responsible for taking in Oxygen and breathing out the Carbon Dioxide which is the waste product of cellular respiration.
Oxygen-The gas that your body needs to work and function.
Carbon Dioxide- The waste product (gas) that is produced through respiration of people and animals.
Nose/Nasal Cavity- Where Oxygen first enters your body. Tiny hairs help filter the air and air is moistened and heated by your nose. Your Nose leads into your Nasal Cavity.
Mouth/Oral Cavity- Oxygen/air can also enter through your Mouth but it is not filtered. Your Mouth opens up into your Oral Cavity.
Sinus- A cavity in the bones of your skull that helps moisten and heat the air that you breath.
Pharynx/Throat- Gathers air from your Nasal and Oral Cavities and passes it to your Trachea.
Trachea/Windpipe- A tube like pathway that connects your throat to your Bronchi Tubes and lungs. Air passes through it when it travels from the Pharynx to the Bronchi Tubes.
