The Respiratory System

The Respiratory System Watch this video to see how respiration works. 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 (name of the chemical reaction in our how cells make energy)by obtaining one of the raw materials, oxygen, from breathing in air from our environment AND removing the byproduct of carbon dioxide. Build-A-Body: Respiratory System Click on the link above to take a closer look at the organs that make up the respiratory system. Be sure to read all of the neat information on the left-hand side of the screen as you place each organ! Build-A-System: Respiratory System Respiratory System Diagram Labeling Use the word bank below to label the diagram. **HINT** Use your notes to help you.BronchiolesBronchusDiaphragmEpiglottisLungTrachea Bronchioles Diaphragm Trachea Bronchus Lung Epiglottis 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.) Trachea A cartilage-ringed tube that carries air to the lungs; "windpipe" Larynx Produces our voice; a.k.a. "voice box" Alveoli Tiny sacs that is the site of gas exchange Lungs The essential organ of the respiratory system Diaphragm Dome-shaped muscle that helps to expand and contract the lungs Nasal cavity Air enters here first. It is lined with tiny cilia which help to trap dirt and dust, It also moistens the air we breath Bronchi Carry air into the left and right lungs Bronchioles An extensive network of branching tubules found with in the lungs. At the ends are alveoli. The Mechanics of Breathing: Inhalation Inhalation is an active process requiring muscular contractions. There are 3 steps (found in your PowerPoint note on The Mechanics of Breathing) to inhaling and bringing oxygen to our cells and tissues. What are these 3 Steps? AND Summarize what happens at each one. The Mechanics of Breathing: Exhalation Exhalation is a passive process where muscles relax. There are 3 steps (found in your PowerPoint note on The Mechanics of Breathing) to exhaling and getting rid of carbon dioxide. What are these 3 Steps? AND Summarize what happens at each one. Covid-19 and the Lungs Watch the video below to see how the Corona Virus can affect your lungs. Answer the questions after you have watched the entire video. Video Questions 1) When your immune system is weakened, due to the Crona Virus, what 2 structures in your lungs become inflamed? What does this inflammation lead to? Video Questions 2) What are some of the symptoms of pneumonia and the Corona Virus as mentioned in the video? Video Questions: A vaccine? 1) If we are able to develop a vaccine for the Corona Virus what is the important structure, called a "marker" that our immune system would develop to make sure the virus does not get into our cells?
