1. The Respiratory System
By Andrea White, Cameron Constance, Caroline Stroud, and Karina Bravo

2. The Main Function
The Respiratory System supplies blood with oxygen so the blood can then transport the oxygen to the rest of the body.
The six major structures within the Respiratory System are the Alveoli, Bronchial Tubes, Lungs, Nasal Cavity, Larynx, and Trachea.

3. Alveoli
Alveoli are tiny air sacs that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide while breathing.

4. Bronchial Tubes
Bronchial Tubes pass through the lungs and divide air ways.
They connect the wide pipe to the lungs.

5. Lungs Lungs bring in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.
Oxygen is needed in the body to produce energy.

6. Nasal Cavity
The nasal cavity is lined with mucus which helps keep it moist.
Air is taken in through the nasal cavity and is transported down to the lungs.

7. Larynx The larynx consists of the vocal cords.
It produces your voice, controls air flow, and controls the function of swallowing.

8. Trachea The Trachea allows airflow to the lungs.
It transports the oxygen and air into the lungs and carbon dioxide.

9. Sickle Cell Anemia
Oxygen is harder to transport trough the body from the respiratory system.
