The Respiratory System By: Katherine Pease Take a big Breath…. Did your chest move? Why? Your Respiratory system is at work. My what system? Respiratory System The integrated system of organs involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment. In other words…. Let’s Take a trip through your Respiratory System…. First Stop in respiratory system… Air enters the body through the nose, is warmed, filtered, and passed through the nasal cavity. Air can also enter through your oral cavity, your mouth.

Third Stop in respiratory system… After passing the larynx, the air moves into the bronchi that carry air in and out of the lungs. Your Bronchi are… Tubes that carry air from the trachea to the lungs (sing.: bronchus These tubes take the air into your lungs Once inside the Bronchi… Air moves into smaller tubes known as bronchioles. From there they terminate in grape-like sac clusters known as alveoli. Alveoli are… Tiny, thin-walled, inflatable sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. They are surrounded by a network of thin-walled capillaries. Remember: Capillaries are blood vessels that O2 and CO2 diffuse through What helps to move this air in and out of your lungs?
