Trachea / Wind pipe Muscles Lung Bronchiole Rib Air sacs / Alveoli Bronchus Diaphragm
Alveoli / Air Sacs • This is where gas exchange happens... • Oxygen diffuses into the blood • Carbon dioxide diffuses out
Air Sacs This is where gas exchange happens. Oxygen diffuses into the blood. Carbon dioxide diffuses out.
Gas exchange • Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs • Oxygen diffuses into the blood • Carbon dioxide diffuses out blood out CO2 blood in O2
Alveoli Alveoli are good at gas exchange because: • They have a large surface area • They have a good blood supply • Their lining is moist • They are very thin This means a lot of diffusion can happen quickly!
Why do veins look blue? Why is blood red? Haemoglobin, found in red blood cells, carries oxygen around the body. Haemoglobin contains iron which looks bright red combined with oxygen.

What stops things getting into your lungs? Mucus and Cilia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miEEluVlemQ
Respiratory System • Trachea and bronchi are lined with: • Rings of cartilage for support; prevents tubes closing • Mucus to trap dirt and germs • Cilia(tiny hairs) to sweep mucus out of the lungs
Breathing Breathing is not the same as respiration. Respiration is a chemical reaction. Breathing is the process of moving air in and out of the body.
Breathing When you breathe in what happens to... • Your ribs? • Your diaphragm? • The volume of your lungs?
Breathing Inhale: take air into lungs Exhale: remove air from lungs
Lung Measurements Tidal volume: the volume of air you move in and out of your lungs when breathing normally Vital capacity: this is the maximum volume of air you can move out of your lungs Peak flow: this is the maximum rate which you can force air out of your lungs
the maximum volume of air you can move out of your lungs Tidal volume the maximum rate which you can force air out of your lungs Vital capacity volume of air you move in and out of your lungs when breathing normally Peak flow
How long can you hold your breath? The man who can hold his breath for 10 minutes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vcv01Jm-Ow
Tidal Volume (normal breath) Vital Capacity (forced exhale)
3800 200 7cm 19cm
What might a doctor use peak flow to test for? Peak flow can be used to test for asthma.
What factors might affect lung measurements?What might cause someone to have a bigger or smaller vital capacity?
