The Respiratory System
![Page 2: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Parts of the Respiratory System • Lungs:
• Provide the body with oxygen • Eliminate carbon dioxide from
blood • Respiratory Tract:
• Passageways through which air moves in and out of the lungs
• Muscles: • Move air into and out of lungs
![Page 3: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Internal vs. External
• External Respiration: the exchange of oxygen from the air around us into our lungs and the removal of carbon dioxide from the lungs via the respiratory tracts
![Page 4: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Internal vs. External • Internal Respiration: the exchange of
oxygen from the alveoli in the lungs to the bloodstream and all other cells of the body during inspiration, and the movement of carbon dioxide (CO2)
![Page 5: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Anatomy of the Lungs
• Pleura: outside of the lungs • Moist, double layer of membrane • Help make lung movement easier by
protecting lungs and providing moisture • Outer layer: parietal pleura • Inner layer: Visceral pleura • Space between the two layers: pleural
cavity
![Page 6: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Anatomy of the Lungs
• Lobes of the Lung: • Right Lung:
three lobes • Left Lung: two
lobes
![Page 7: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Respiratory Passageways
The Nose: • Divided into two cavities by a piece of
cartilage (nasal septum) • While passing through the nasal cavity, air
is warmed by blood vessels in the area • Foreign bodies are also filtered out of the
inhaled air by small hairs in the nasal cavity called cilia
![Page 8: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Respiratory Passageways The Throat: also known as the Pharynx • Passageway for both air and food • Divided into three sections:
• Nasopharynx
• Oropharynx
• Laryngopharynx
![Page 9: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Respiratory Passageways
Nasopharynx: lies above the soft palate Oropharynx: back portion of the mouth
• Contains the tonsils (palatine tonsils) which act in immunity
• Part of the mechanism of the mouth that triggers swallowing
Laryngopharynx: bottom of the throat • Respiratory tract divides into esophagus
and trachea
![Page 10: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

The Esophagus: passageway for food • Epiglottis: small flap that prevents
food from going into the larynx • Aspiration: occurs when you
swallow and inhale at the same time, causing some food to be pulled into the larynx. (Coughing usually forces out food, but choking may occur)
![Page 12: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Larynx: Voice box
• Area in trachea where sounds and speech are produced
• Contains Vocal Cords
![Page 13: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Trachea: • Tube that connects larynx to the left and
right bronchi • Bronchi are passageways that air travels
through to get to the left and right lung • After splitting into left and right
bronchus, each one splits off more and more, becoming smaller until they reach their smallest size, known as bronchioles
![Page 14: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Trachea
![Page 15: The Respiratory System - Somerset Academy Canyons · 2015. 2. 7. · Diseases and Disorders • Because this system can be exposed to foreign material coming in from the outside,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6108c46423f6427dcf0fc296/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Alveoli: • Located in clusters at the end of each
bronchiole • Connect to small blood vessels called
capillaries • Oxygen is exchanged from the alveoli into the
capillaries and to the rest of the bloodstream • CO2 is expelled back out of the blood,
through the alveoli and out of the respiratory tract during exhalation

foreign material coming in from the outside, it can often become inflamed or infected
• When part of the respiratory system becomes inflamed, we usually name the disease by naming the area inflamed and adding the suffix -itis
