  1. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM BY: Pablo Hernández de Alba

  2. Breathing • All living things depend on breathing. Breathing is the process that the respiratory system is in charged of. Oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide comes out. • Breathing is vital for you and that´s why the respiratory is important for living organisms.

  3. Parts and Functions • In the respiratory system there are many parts that have important functions. This are: • rip cage • diaprahgm • lungs • trachea or wind pipe • bronchialtubes • alveoli • capillaries • cilia

  4. Parts and Functions • The rip cage is the cage of bones that protect the lungs, heart and other vital organs. • The diaphragm is the muscle that sucks the oxygen into the lungs and carbon dioxide out of them. • The lungs are practically the main organ of breathing because the capillaries and bronchi and other organisms are located there.

  5. Parts and Functions • The trachea is the tube that connects the mouth and the nose to the lungs. • The bronchial tubes are very thin “tubes” that take the oxygen into the capillaries and carbon dioxide out. • The alveoli ( capillaries) are the blood vessels at the end of the bronchi. This vessels are one cell thin and take oxygen IN to the blood and carbon out of the blood.

  6. Parts and Functions Parts Cilia Cilia are the little hairs in your trachea and bronchial tubes that take particles from the oxygen, not wanted by your body.

  7. With the body • As I said before breathing is very important to your body because it is the process that take oxygen into your body and carbon out. • Breathing is essential for living things because oxygen is the fuel that keeps us running. • We need oxygen to run, think, scream, and live!
