1 respiratory system Made by: Lexus Batton

2 Chronic Bronchitis: Any irritant reaching the bronchi and bronchioles will stimulate an increased secretion of mucus. In chronic bronchitis the air passages become clogged with mucus, and this leads to a persistent cough. Chronic bronchitis is usually caused by cigarette smoking. WHAT IS THE SYMPTOMS: Cough and sputum production are the most common symptoms; they usually last for at least 3 months and occur daily. The intensity of coughing and the amount and frequency of sputum production vary from patient to patient. Sputum may be clear, yellowish, greenish, or occasionally, blood-tinged. Fever, chest pain, headaches, sore throat, cyanosis: is the medical term for a bluish color of the skin and the mucous membranes due to an insufficient level of oxygen in the blood. Fatigue: is a symptom that may be difficult for the patient to describe and words like lethargic, exhausted and tired may be used.

3 Mouth/Nose: air enters first.

4 saliva/ hairs Filters out the airFilters out all the bacteria

5 Trachea: wind pipe that leads to the bronchi.

6 Bronchi Tube that leads to the lungs.

7 Bronchioles Little tubes inside the lungs.

8 Alveoli Air sacks that contract the oxygen/air.

9 Capillaries: small blood vessels that release the oxygen/air into our body.

10 Diaphragm Helps push air in and out of the lungs.
