  1. Respiratory System

  2. Challenge ? • People from sea-level usually experience increased respiration when they go to high elevations. Explain why?

  3. Connection (Remember all answers need units) • The average person breathes about 12 times/min. How many breaths does the person take in a day? (Show your work) • The average person breathes 8640 liters of air per day. (Show your work) • How many liters is that every hour? • How many liters every minute?

  4. Vocabulary • Respiration • Breathing • See Objective Notes #1

  5. Resources • Holt Life Science pages 556-559 • Respiratory System Guided Notes • Work It Out – Lab
