The Respiratory System

The Respiratory System Watch this video to see how respiration works. If the video does not work here, I have also linked the video on eClass in today's module. Use the information provided in the video you just watched and your prior knowledge to fill in the blanks about the function of the respiratory system. The respiratory system aids in the process of cellular respiration by obtaining one of the raw materials, oxygen, (we need it to live, trees produce it) from the environment AND removing the byproduct of carbon dioxide. (We do not need it in our body) Respiratory System Diagram Labeling Use the word bank below to label the diagram. **HINT** Diagrams are always labeled from the "owners" perspective; in other words the right and left sides are flipped from your perspective.BronchusDiaphragmLungTrachea Diaphragm Trachea Bronchus Lung Organ Functions Match the structure of the respiratory system with its function. (To answer: click on an orange dot and drag your mouse the to the matching orange circle in the other column.)
