In reality, life in the Dark and middle Ages, was sometimes all these things, as well as harsh, uncertain, and often dangerous. or safety and for defense, people in the middle Ages lived on an isolated manor, which consisted of the castle, the church, the village, and the surr ounding farm land. Peasant Life !easants worked the land and produced the goods that the lord and his manor needed. "hey were heavily ta#ed and were required to relinquish much of what they harvested.  "he feudal king awarded land grants or $%efs$ to his most important nobles, his barons, and his bishops, in return for their contribution of soldiers for hi s ar mi es. At the lowest echelon of soci ety were the peasants, also called $serfs$ or $villains.$ Religion Monks and &uns Monasteries in the middle Ages were based on the rules set do wn by 't .

Air enters your body through the two nostrils. "he nostrils are the

 Dust, pollen, and other materials are trapped by the mucus. "his

trapping of the air impurities helps in %ltering the air you breathe.  "iny hairs like structures called cilia are found in the nasal cavity.

 "hese hairs move the mucus and trapped materials to the back of the

throat where they can be swallowed or spat out.  "he nasal cavity leads to the tube like passageways for both food and

(elow the laryn# is a tube about 5 cm long. "his is the trachea.

 "he trachea is composed of 0 shaped rings of cartilage to keep it

open.  Mucous membrane and cilia line the trachea. "hey trap bacteria,

dust and pollen.  "he trachea branches out into two short tubes called the bronchial

tube* bronchi +singularF bronchus-.

•  "he bronchi carry air into the lungs.

•  "he bronchus within each lung branches into smaller tubes called

bronchioles.

•  "hinwalled air sacs called alveoli  cluster at the end of each

bronchiole.

•  "he alveoli are arranged in grapelike clusters surrounded by the

capillaries. (etween the alveoli and capillaries the e#change of

o#ygen and carbon dio#ide takes place.

Tracing the Path of %nhaled Air inside the *ody

3hen you inhale, air comes into your body. "hat air moves through

your nose, throat, and trachea. Rour trachea divides into bronchial tubes,

each of which goes into a lung.

Inside your lungs, your bronchial tubes branch out into smaller tubes. "he smallest tubes go to groups of tiny pouches that called air sacs. Inhaled

air, which has lots of o#ygen, enters the air sacs. At this moment, the blood

in the vessels around the air sacs has a lot of carbon dio#ide, which the blood

picks up form body cells. "he blood contains little o#ygen. An e#change of

gases quickly takes place. )#ygen goes from the air sacs into the blood

vessels."he blood now have o#ygen to take to the body cells. At the same

time that the o#ygen goes out of the air sacs, carbon dio#ide goes from the

blood vessels into the air sacs. "he carbon dio#ide leaves your body when

you e#hale.

Diaphragm

(eneath your lungs you %nd the diaphragm.

 "he diaphragm is a muscle that helps to move air in and out of your

lungs.  During breathing your diaphragm contracts and rela#es. It e#erts

pressure or releases pressure on your lungs. 3hen your diaphragm

contracts, the volume of your chest cavity increases. "his allows air to

move into the lungs. "he increase in volume is caused by the upward

movement of your rib cage and the downward movement of yourdiaphragm. "here is reduction of air pressure in your chest cavity as

your lungs are %lled with air.  "he diaphragm rela#es and returns to its original dome shape when

you e#hale. Rour rib cage moves downward. "he rela#ing of your

diaphragm and the moving of your rib cage downward decrease the

si1e of your chest cavity. @ikewise, your lungs are now in their original

position. "here is an increase of pressure in your lungs. "hrough your

air passages, the gases inside your lungs are pushed outside your

body.

 "he actual e#change of o#ygen and carbon dio#ide takes place

between the alveoli and the capillaries. "hrough the process of diEusion,

o#ygen passes through the walls of the alveoli and then through the walls of

the capillaries into the blood. "he hemoglobin in red blood cells picks up the

o#ygen and carries it to all body cells. @ikewise, carbon dio#ide coming from

the body cells passes through the walls of the capillaries and the walls of the

alveoli through the process of diEusion. 3hen you breathe out or e#hale,

carbon dio#ide then leaves your body.

Common Ailments Aecting the Res"iratory !ystem

Many serious diseases aEecting the respiratory system are related to

smoking. (y merely being around others who smoke can also harm your

respiratory system. Aside from smoking, polluted air and dusts have been

causing respiratory problems such as emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, and

cancer.

Em"hysema is a disease in which the alveoli in the lungs lose their ability to

e#pand and contract.

3hen a person has emphysema, smoke is trapped in the alveoli in the

lungs. "he alveoli lose their elasticity and cannot push air out of the

lungs. @ess o#ygen moves in to the bloodstream and blood becomes

low in o#ygen and high in carbon dio#ide. "his condition results in

shortness of breath.

Chronic )ronchitis is a disease in which too much mucus is produces in the

bronchial tubes.

!eople who have chronic bronchitis cough often to try to clear the

passage of air of its e#cess mucus. "he more a person coughs, the

more the bronchial tubes are damages. 3hen this happens, harmful

substances such as tar from tobacco build in the air passages.

Asthma is a form of respiratory allergy.

An acute asthma attack can be very diJcult to handle especially if the

child or parent is not ready for emergency.  Asthma attacks aEect the childs sleep, play, activity, and schooling.

 During an asthma attack, the air passage becomes narrow such that

less air can get in and out of the lungs. "he chest feels tight, and

coughs and whee1ing starts.  "he attack may last until cause is removed or even beyond.

 "he attack can be triggered by house dust, furry animals, cigarette

smoke, pollen from trees and 7owers, strong smells*sprays, e#treme

changes in weather, and presence of the common cold or strenuous

e#ercise. Most asthma suEerers take medicines during asthma attacks.

'ometimes, asthma attacks can be serious and medicines may not

help. In these cases, medical help should be obtained immediately.

Coughing is a re7e# action that moves unwanted matter from therespiratory passages.

 "he cilia help trap and move foreign bodies. 3hen the cilia are

damages, the lungs lose a defense against certain diseases.

Inhaling tar in cigarette smoke is the greatest contributing factor to lung

cancer. "ar is a dark brown or black viscous liquid or semi liquid that is

obtained from the distillation of organic materials like cigarettes or tobacco.

Colds are caused by a virus. It is characteri1ed by the swelling of the mucus

membrane of the respiratory passages. It is accompanied by snee1ing and inserious cases, coughing.

Pneumonia is caused by a virus and bacteria. It is an acute chronic disease.

It is marked by swelling of the lungs.

'ymptoms of this ailment include high fever, chilling, chest pain, and

abdominal pains.

Pulmonary tu)erculosis 3PT*8 is a communicable disease. It is caused by

the bacteria mycobacterium tuberculosis.

It manifests itself in the lesions of lungs.

It is characteri1ed by low grade fever, loss of weight, chest pain,

cough, blood in the saliva, and tiredness.

Taking Care of the Res"iratory /rgans

 Rou can help keep your respiratory organs healthy. Here are some simple

tipsF

5. Avoid smoking and inhaling polluted air. 0igarette smoking and air

pollution are the leading causes of lung damage. An unhealthy lung

cuts down the amount of o#ygen that can be delivered to your body

cells. &ormal, healthy lungs can e#change o#ygen and carbon dio#ide

eEectively.. (reathe through your nose and not through your mouth.6. =#ercise regularly. =#ercise is important for good health. 3hen you

e#ercise, you increase your lung capacity. 0onsequently, your lungs

become capable of holding greater amounts of o#ygen.;. Pse your own towel or handkerchief.C. 'tay away from crowded places.. 'leep with windows open as much as possible.<. 0onsult your physician for proper treatment of respiratory ailments.
