Unit 3, Lesson 4: The Respiratory System

Learn about the purpose of the respiratory system, its components, and how it helps in providing oxygen, removing carbon dioxide, temperature control, waste elimination, and voice production. Explore the nostrils, nasal cavity, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, diaphragm, and lungs.

  1. Unit 3, Lesson 4: The Respiratory System Ione Community School Animal Science

  2. Purpose of the Respiratory System • Provide oxygen to the tissues • Remove carbon dioxide from the body • Temperature control, elimination of waste and voice production • Clean air before it enters the inner body

  3. Components of the Respiratory System • Nostrils: external openings • Nasal Cavity: connected to mouth by a hard and soft palate • Pharynx: Common passageway for food and air, but not at the same time. • Epiglottis: a valve-like structure that shuts when swallowing food. • Larynx: voice box for animal, controls breathing, keeps objects out of lungs

  4. Components of the Respiratory System, Con’t. • Trachea: wind pipe, consists of cartilage rings, similar to vacuum cleaner hose • Bronchi: Two tubes from trachea, each side enters a lung • Bronchioles: Small tubes from the bronchi • Alveoli: Smallest bronchioles, exhausts carbon dioxide • Diaphragm: sheet of muscle located beneath the lungs that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity.

  5. Components of the Respiratory System, Con’t. • Lungs: • Two, elastic, spongy material that expand when filled with air • Cone shaped and divided into lobes • Lungs will always float in water • Primary purpose of the lungs is gas exchange
