An introduction to the respiratory system, explaining its primary function of supplying the body with oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide. It also describes the key components of the system, including the mouth, trachea, bronchial tubes, diaphragm, lungs, alveoli, pleura, and capillaries.

BrainpopThe Respiratory System
Pleura Mouth: Where the body takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Trachea: Tube that carries the air (oxygen and carbon dioxide) to and from the lungs. Bronchial tubes: Smaller tubes that carry the air in and out of the lungs. These tubes branch off to each lung. Diaphragm: a strand of muscle tissue that controls the breathing for the body. Lungs: soft tissue organs where the oxygen, carbon dioxide gas exchange takes place. Alveoli: tiny air sac in the lungs where the oxygen/carbon dioxide gas exchange takes place. Pleura: The lining on the outside of the lung. It helps to protect the lung. Capillaries: tiny blood vessels where gas exchange happens. Lung Interactive Activities Lung Nasopharynx: (nasal part of the pharynx) is the uppermost part of the pharynx. Pharynx: the part of the neck and throat situated immediately behind the mouth and nasal cavity. KidshealthRespiratory System Larynx: voice box. pleura

Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide Gas Exchange: Alveoli are air sacs. It is through these thinwalled chambers that oxygen moves into the blood and carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli. Each sac is surrounded by blood vessels/capillaries. The blood vessels carry oxygen to the cells where it is needed and deliver carbon dioxide and water to the lungs to be exhaled. AlveoliGas Exchange
The circulatory system carries oxygen to the cells, along with glucose. These materials are used by the cells to create energy. The blood then returns to the lungs with carbon dioxide. Once in the lungs, the carbon dioxide is transferred to the lungs to be exhaled and the blood "picks up" more oxygen to deliver to the cells. This is called the oxygen carbon dioxide gas exchange. This exchange of gases takes place between the alveoli and the capillaries. Capillaries pick up O 2 from the lungs and take it to the rest of the body. The blood returns from the body with CO 2 to be exhaled. Respiratory Basketball Game Oxygen Transport Video
