3. What is the role that your system plays in the human body? The respiratory system enables you to breath by the muscles in your lungs helping you to inhale and exhale. The lungs are surrounded with nerve cells. The chest muscles use the pressure of the air to fill up the lungs and the opposite to let the carbon dioxide out of your body.

4. What are the major organs that make up your system? All these organs play a very important part in the respiratory system. The very first organ that helps you breathe is the diaphragm that expands and contracts to intake air. The oxygen comes in through the nose and/or mouth, passing through the larynx allowing you to make sounds, then down through trachea and into the lungs. At the end of the trachea, there is two smaller tubes called the bronchi, then they divide into even smaller tubes called bronchioles. The end of the bronchioles is tiny air sacs that look like balloons, these tiny air sacs are called alveoli. The alveoli help you breathe because they fill with air every time you breathe in.

5. How do these organs work together? The respiratory organs work together to make you breathe. First, the diaphragm expands and contracts to make you intake air, then the oxygen goes through the nose/mouth down through the larynx, then passes through the trachea. After, the oxygen then travels into the bronchi, then into the bronchioles then into the chest cavity.

6. Explain how your system is connected to another system. The respiratory system is connected to the circulatory system because the oxygen goes into the aveoli which is surrounded by capillaries when the oxygen and capillaries meet, the oxygen goes into the capillary walls. This happens because there is less oxygen in the surrounding blood and more in the lungs then the oxygen moves into the blood stream.

7. Explain how your system is connected to another system. The respiratory system is also connected to the skeletal system because the ribs and the sternum protect the lungs so that if you happen to get hit in the lung area, the ribs and sternum will take the injuries instead of a collapsing lung.

8. What are the levels of organization in humans? • Organ system Respiratory system • Organ Lungs • Tissue Epithelial tissue • Cell Clara cell • organism squirrel

9. Name a common disease or disorder that directly affect your system. One other common disease that can affect your respiratory system is asthma. This disease is a common disease you are usually born with asthma. When you have asthma what happens are your bronchial tubes developing a sticky secretions along the tubes and then the air was become inflamed or restricted when coated in mucus. A way to stop asthma is to use a puffer. Some ways that cause asthma to happen is by an allergic reaction mostly from the fumes in the air like when people are around a dog or a cat and a lot of the time pollen those are some ways that can start up asthma.

10. Name another common disease or disorder that directly affect your system. One of the many diseases that can affect your respiratory system is lung cancer. This disease is a very bad disease. The way this disease starts is mitosis is going out of control. Mitosis is when cells in your body divide until the space is all filled up. But when mitosis goes out of control the cells do not stop dividing and that forms a tumor. When you have lung cancer it will make it hard for you to breath and it will destroy your lungs. So far there is no cure for lung cancer that is why they are trying to raise money. They are some ways to treat lung cancer some of the treatments for lung cancer are chemotherapy, radiation.

11. How can you maintain a healthy system? • Here are a couple of ways to contain a healthy respiratory system: • Exercising daily will keep your lungs because your building muscle. • Drinking plenty of water will help fuel your respiratory system. • Eating naturel food will make your repertory system more immune to diseases. • Washing your body often will get the dirt of and make colds less common. • Not smocking will make your body less common to catch diseases that effect your respiratory system. • These ways will make your respiratory system stronger and healthier.

12. Name and describe a profession that work with this system. Anthesiologist: An anthesiologist is the doctor that puts you to sleep when you have surgeries. They work with the respiratory system because when they put you to sleep they hook you up to a machine that monitors your breathing.

13. Name and describe another profession that works with this system. Respiratory therapist: A respiratory therapist treats people that have disorders in their respiratory system, such as: pneumonia, asthma, etc.. They also diagnose people with lung and breathing problems. They can treat anyone from a newborn to the elderly people. The respiratory therapists work in operating rooms, emergency departments, specialized medical centres, patients homes, etc.. Respiratory therapists are extremely important because they keep people breathing.

14. 5 fun facts on the respiratory system! • The average human breathes 5 256 000 times per year. • Lung cancer is #2 on the cancer list • If you stretched out the inner side of the lungs it would occupy around the area of 80 to 100 meters. • The left lung would be slightly bigger than the left lung • The nose hairs found in our nose warm up the air we breathe as well as cleaning it
