  1. Respiratory System By:PattyScholz p.6

  2. What does it do? • The Respiratory system’s job is to supply blood with oxygen with the help of the circulatory system • It takes in oxygen and releases Carbon Dioxide whenever something breathes

  3. Parts of the System • Epiglottis-Protects the Larynx and Lungs • Larynx-Allows air to the lungs • Vocal chords-Produces a person’s voice and Is located at the side of the larynx • Trachea/Windpipe-Carries air to the lungs • Lungs- Two sets of organs that oxygen goes through to get to the blood cell • Diaphragm-It contracts to allow more air into the lungs

  4. Diagram of the system

  5. Diseases and how to prevent them • Ways that the Respiratory system can start failing is if the person inhales foreign bodies or cigarette smoke (Second-hand smoke). Those two things can cause an infection to the lungs, if in severe situations, can make them shut down. • Don’t do stupid things like the cinnamon challenge. The cinnamon can get into your lungs and cause it to collapse. • Don’t smoke and don’t stand near smokers • Test your home for radon which is a rare but dangerous radioactive gas. • Be careful of carcinogens, which are the things that cause cancer.

  6. Different types of diseases • Asthma-Airways inflamed and can cause wheezing • Allergies-Can trigger symptoms of Asthma • Chronic Obstructive disease-Lung problems that can cause difficulty in breathing • Bronchitis-Chronic productive cough • Emphysema-Lung damages keep air trapped; difficulty in exhaling • Cystic fibrosis-Poor clearance of mucus in the throat; can cause repeated lung infections

  7. Finished • All the systems of the human body are important, the Respiratory being one of the major systems in a functioning body. • Please take care of your body as you would a loved one.
