    STRUCTURE AND

    FUNCTION OF
    RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

    Done by Ayesha
    RESPIRATION
    Respiration is the process in which the exchange of gases
    takes place in the body. Oxygen is brought into the body
    when we Inhale and carbon dioxide is given when we
    exhale. Oxygen is essential for every cell and tissue in the
    body.
    PARTS OF THE
    RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
    Nose and nasal cavity
    Sinuses
    Mouth
    Throat (pharynx)
    Voicebox (larynx)
    Windpipe (trachea)
    Diaphragm
    Lungs
    Bronchial tubes/bronchi
    Bronchioles
    Air sacs (alveoli)
    Capillaries
    TYPES OF
    RESPIRATION
    external respiration
    internal respiration
    EXTERNAL RESPIRATION

    External Respiration: Inhalation and exhalation are the


    processes of external respiration. In this process, we
    inhale oxygen which goes to different parts of the body,
    and exhale carbon dioxide which diffuses from the blood.
    INTERNAL
    RESPIRATION
    Internal Respiration: This process of respiration takes place in
    tissues and cells, where oxygen gets used during energy
    production.
    MECHANISM OF THE RESPIRATORY
    SYSTEM
    When we breathe in, muscles across the ribs contract, it pulls ribs upward and
    sideward. At the same time, the muscles of the diaphragm contract and flatten.
    Thus, the size of the lungs increases, and there is an increase in volume. Due to
    this process, low pressure develops in the lungs, so air gets inside through the
    nose.
    Breathing out occurs when the muscles of the diaphragm and ribs relax. By this
    process, space is reduced and there is a decrease in volume of lungs, thus high
    pressure develops in the lungs so air is pushed out.
