The Respiratory System By:Camilo Romero
PURPOSE The purpose of the respiratory system is to breath in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This is so essential for life that you even do it without noticing.
ORGANS The organs involved in the respiratory system process are nose, mouth, throat, voice box, diaphragm, bronchioles, windpipe and lungs.
Major organs Lungs: most of the process happens in this organ, inside it oxygen moves to the circulatory system(blood). Also it contains the air and releases it with help of the diaphragm. Diaphragm: this organ contracts, or relaxes in order for the lungs to be able to inhale or exhale the air. Trachea or windpipe: passageway for the air to come from the nose to the lungs and back again.
The process The process of the respiratory system starts when you inhale oxygen through your nose or mouth, It travels down the trachea until it gets to your lungs.
Step 2 In the lungs, it moves into smaller and smaller passages called bronchial tubes. Later the air spreads into the alveoli. This are tiny sacs surrounded by small vessels called capillaries.
Step 3 Oxygen moves through the wall of alveoli and capillaries until it gets to the blood, at the same time, carbon leaves the blood and goes to the alveoli.When the body gets oxygen, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward which deflates your lungs and makes you exhale the used air CO2
