    Respiratory System

    The respiratory system picks up oxygen from the air and drops off carbon dioxide, similar to how a mailman picks up and drops off mail. It is made up of the nasal cavity, bronchi, alveolus, and diaphragm. The nasal cavity brings air into the body, the bronchi carry air to the bronchioles, the alveolus is where gas exchange occurs, and the diaphragm contracts during inhalation and relaxes during exhalation. Lung cancer can develop in the lungs and spread to other parts of the body. The respiratory and circulatory systems work together, with the respiratory system providing oxygen and the circulatory system transporting it throughout the body. Ex

    The Respiratory System

    The Respiratory System is


    like a mailman. It comes
    to your mailbox and
    picks up anything to send
    out just how the
    respiratory system comes
    to pick up oxygen. Also
    drops off any mail for the
    mailboxes just how it
    drops off carbon dioxide.

    Function
    The respiratory system is a
    group of organs that are
    responsible for taking in
    oxygen and taking out
    carbon dioxide.

    Structures
    Nasal Cavity

    They bring air into the body. The


    small hairs called cilia filter out
    dust and other particles.

    Bronchi

    Two tubes that carry air from the


    trachea to then be carried off by
    smaller tubes called bronchioles.

    Alveolus

    Small sac like structure where the


    exchange of oxygen and carbon
    dioxide happens.

    Diaphragm

    The muscle found below the lungs


    that contracts to inhale and
    relaxes to exhale.

    Lung Cancer
    Lung cancer can start
    anywhere in the lungs
    and affect any part of
    the respiratory system
    . The cancer cells can
    spread, or grow, to the
    lymph nodes and other
    parts of the body as well.

    Connection
    The respiratory system works
    well with the circulatory
    system. The respiratory system
    brings in oxygen to the body and
    the circulatory system transports
    that oxygen around the body for
    energy.

    Application
    The respiratory system relates to
    culture of microorganisms. Culturing
    from a secretion called sputum is a
    way to investigate respiratory
    diseases.
