HOW THE RESPIRATORY SYTEM WORKS?
The goal of the respiratory system is to deliver oxygen to the muscles from the blood of the body and to take away the used oxygen
commonly referred to as Carbon Dioxide. Another example is when you breathe through your mouth or nose which Travels down to the back of the wind pipe/
trachea, which then follows through To your bronchi which then divides into air passages called bronchial tubes. As The bronchial tubes lead into the lungs which then divide into even smaller tubes Called bronchial tubes called bronchioles. The bronchioles end in tiny air sacs Called alveoli. These air filled sacs are
surrounded by capillaries that Transport the oxygenated blood to the body. At the same time when you exhale the Carbon deoxygenated blood takes the same path out of the body only in Reverse.
PARTS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM!
The nostrils: Nostrils
are involved in air intake, i.e. they bring air into the nose, where air is
warmed and humidified. The tiny hairs called cilia filters out dust and other
particles present in the air and protects the nasal passage and other regions of
the respiratory tract.
Trachea: The trachea is
also known as windpipe. The trachea filters the air we inhale and branches into
the bronchi.
Bronchi: The bronchi are
the two air tubes that branch off of from the trachea and carry atmospheric air
directly into the lungs.
Lungs: The main organ of
the respiratory system is lungs. Lungs are the site in body where oxygen is
taken into and carbon dioxide is expelled out. The red blood cells present in
the blood picks up the oxygen in the lungs and carry and distribute the oxygen
to all body cells that need it. The red blood cells donate the oxygen to the
cells and picks up the carbon dioxide produced by the cells.
Alveolus: Alveolus is the
tiny sac like structure present in the lungs which the gaseous exchange takes
place.
Diaphragm: Breathing
begins with a dome-shaped muscle located at the bottom of the lungs which is
known as diaphragm. When we breathe in the diaphragm contracts and flatten out
and pull downward. Due to this movement the space in the lungs increases and
pulls air into the lungs. When we breathe out, the diaphragm expands and reduces
the amount of space for the lungs and forces air out.
