Bell Ringer:
We know that we cannot survive very long without air (oxygen). Why do you think that is the case? What does oxygen do for us?
The Respiratory System
http://137.222.110.150/calnet/irish_cal/exotics/respiratory%20system.jpg
The system of the body that deals with breathing
The body takes in the oxygen that it needs and removes the carbon
dioxide that it doesn’t
The Oxygen Delivery System
• Main function - to supply the blood with oxygen
• Does this through breathing
Breathing and Respiration are NOT the same thing!
Breathing
Moving air in and out of the
lungs
Respiration
Chemical reaction that releases energy
Inhalation
• Breathing in
• Body gets oxygen from the air
• Rib muscles contract to pull ribs up and out
• Diaphragm muscle contracts to pull down the lungs
• Tissue expands to force (pull) in air.
Exhalation
• Breathing out
• Get rid of carbon dioxide
• Rib muscles relax
• Diaphragm muscle relaxes
• Tissue returns to resting position and forces (pushes) air out
Parts of the System
• Mouth
• Nose
• Trachea – splits into bronchi– bronchioles
• Lungs– Bronchioles– Alveoli
• Diaphragm

Lungs
• Bronchial tubes
• Many smaller tubes
• Alveoli (alveolus) – surrounded by capillaries
• Average adult's lungs contain about 600 million of these air-filled sacs

Pathway of Oxygen
Body breathes in the air which is pulled through the nose or mouth and down through the trachea

Pathway of Oxygen
The trachea is a pipe shaped by rings of cartilage.
It divides into two tubes called bronchi.
Bronchi carry air into each lung.
Pathway of Oxygen
Inside the lung, the tubes divide into smaller and smaller tubes called bronchioles.
At the end of each of these tubes are small air sacs called alveoli.
Capillaries, which are small blood vessels with thin walls, are wrapped around these alveoli.

Pathway of Oxygen
Capillary walls are so thin and close to each other that the air easily diffuses through.

Pathway of Oxygen
Oxygen diffuses through the capillaries into the bloodstream.
Carbon dioxide in the bloodstream, diffuses through into the alveoli, and is then removed from the body when we breathe out.

The Diaphragm
The muscle that controls the breathing process.
The Diaphragm
The diaphragm flattens to cause the chest to expand and air is pulled into the lungs.
The Diaphragm
When the diaphragm relaxes, the chest collapses and the air in the lungs is forced out.

• Clip from earlier days…..
What is Cellular Respiration?
Once the energy that was in sunlight is changed into chemical energy by photosynthesis, an organism has to transform the chemical energy into a a form that can be used by the organism.
This process is cellular respiration.
+ Energy
Respiration
Chemical reaction that releases energy
