    1.1 The human respiratory system

    Why we need oxygen


    You may remember that one of the characteristics shared
    by all living things is respiration. Respiration is a series of
    chemical reactions that happens inside every living cell.
    The kind of respiration that usually happens inside our cells
    is called aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen.
    The cells produce carbon dioxide as a waste product.
    The air around you contains oxygen. When you breathe,
    you take air into your lungs. Some of the oxygen from the
    air goes into your blood. The blood delivers the oxygen
    to every cell in your body, so that the cells can use it for
    respiration. The blood collects the waste carbon dioxide
    from the cells, and takes it back to your lungs.
    The organs that help you to take oxygen out of the air, and
    get rid of carbon dioxide, make up the respiratory system. In this model of the human body, the lungs are
    shown in pink
    Can you name any of the other organs shown in the picture
    on the right?

    The structure of the human


    respiratory system
    This is a diagram of the human entrance to nose
    respiratory system. The white
    spaces in this diagram are the entrance to mouth
    ‘tubes’ (bronchi and bronchioles) voicebox (larynx)
    that air moves through, windpipe (trachea)
    as it goes into and out of
    your lungs. rings of cartilage

    bronchiole
    bronchus (plural: bronchi)
    air sacs
