Lesson 1 The Respiratory System

Take a deep breath. Observe where the air goes as it enters your nose to the lungs. Breathing process involves different organs in the respiratory system as we take in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of these gases in the bloodstream, the body cells, and the atmosphere.

What’s In

Respiratory system consists of organs that take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide from the body. Encircle all the parts of the respiratory system from words inside the box.

stomach	alveoli	nostrils
lungs	small intestine	trachea
epiglottis	large intestine	anus

What’s New

Directions: Guess the concept being described in each item. Unscramble the letters of the highlighted word to come up with the correct answer. Write your answers in your Science journal.

1.I am the gas that is given off during exhalation. ONBCAR EDDIOXI 2.I go through the air sacs and into the blood. XYGONE__________ 3.I am a long tube connecting your mouth to your lung. RATHCAE _____________

4.I serve as a passageway for both food and air. NXAPHRY ________ 5.I am made of body parts that help you breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. PISERAROTYRMETSYS _________

What is It

The respiratory system is a system that enables the respiration process in all living things. Breathing process is essential to both human and animals in order to live. The process of exchanges of gases with the environment is called respiration. Respiration is the intake of oxygen and its delivery to the cells of the different parts of the body and the release of carbon dioxide.

[chart: labeled diagram; Figure 1: Main Parts of the Respiratory System] Labels printed on the diagram:

• Nasal Cavity
• Pharynx
• Larynx
• Trachea
• Bronchi
• Lungs

Figure 1: Main Parts of the Respiratory System

Nasal Cavity

The nostrils are the opening into the nasal passages that are lined with hairs. The nasal cavity is lined by glands that produce sticky mucus. Dust, pollen, and other materials are trapped by mucus. This trapping of air impurities helps in filtering the air you breathe.

Pharynx and Larynx

Pharynx is also called the throat. The common passageway for both food, water, and air. The larynx contains two vocal cords that vibrate when air passes by them.

Trachea

Trachea is known as the windpipe. It also filters the air we inhale and branches into the bronchi.

Bronchi

Bronchi are two tubes that carry air into the lungs.

Bronchioles

Bronchioles are smaller tubes that branch off into alveoli

Alveoli

Alveoli are grapelike structures at the end of each bronchiole surrounded by capillaries. Between the alveoli and capillaries, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.

Lungs

Lungs are the main organ of the respiratory system. This is where exchange of gases occurs, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled out.

Diaphragm

Diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that controls breathing which is located at the bottom of the lungs. When we inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves down allowing air to move into the lungs. When we exhale, the diaphragm expands, thus reducing the amount of space for the lungs and forces air out.

Breathing is very important in life. Each organ of respiratory systems works together to circulate oxygen throughout the body. The circulation of oxygen starts from the nostril going through the pharynx and larynx, down to the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles and lastly the air you breath goes at the tiny-walled sacs called alveoli where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.

8.It is the main component of blood and consists mostly of water (asplma)

9.It transports blood throughout the body. (boold vsseel)

10.It is the pumping organ of the body. ______(earth)

What is It

The circulatory system is a transport system of the body. It is responsible for the distribution of blood and other nutrients throughout the body. It is made up of heart, blood and blood vessels namely veins, arteries and capillaries. These vessels carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the body.

[chart: diagram; Figure 2: The Circulatory System]

Labels printed on the figure:

• Heart
• Blood Vessels
• Capillaries
• Veins
• Arteries

Figure 2: The Circulatory System

BLOOD

The blood is the liquid part that is constantly flowing throughout the body. It is composed of a liquid part called plasma and the solid parts of formed components which are the red blood cells known as the erythrocytes that transport gases to and from the cells. The white blood cells or leucocytes play a vital role in the body’s immune system. They fight bad bacteria, viruses and others that cause infection. The last formed components are the platelets or thrombocytes. They are the smallest of formed components of blood that help in blood clotting.

BLOOD VESSELS

The blood vessels are the vast networks of small tubes that carry blood throughout the body. The arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

The capillaries are the smallest blood vessels which serve as a connection between arteries and veins. When blood passes through them, oxygen, food nutrients and wastes pass in and out through capillary walls.

BLOOD CIRCULATION

The circulatory system has two types of circulation: the pulmonary circulation which is the movement of deoxygenated blood from the heart and into the lungs and systemic circulation which is the movement of oxygenated blood from the heart to the different parts of the body.

HEART

The heart is known as the pumping organ of the body. It keeps the blood moving throughout the body and the average heartbeat of human is 60 to 100 times per minute. It has four chambers: the left and right atrium which are responsible for receiving used blood coming from all parts of the body and the left and right ventricles known as the pumping chambers. When its contracts, oxygen-rich blood is forced away from the heart for the distribution to the different parts of the body. Between atrium and ventricles are valves, the overlapping tissue that allows blood to flow in one direction.

The picture below shows the different chambers of the heart and the direction by which blood flows through circulatory system.

[chart: diagram; the different chambers of the heart and the direction of blood flow]

Labels printed on the diagram:

• Superior Vena Cava
• Pulmonary Artery
• Right Atrium
• Pulmonary Vein
• Left Atrium
• Pulmonary Valve
• Mitral Valve
• Aortic Valve
• Tricuspid valve
• Left Ventricle
• Inferior Vena Cava
• Right Ventricle

Right side of the heart

Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart.

As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve. When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricle contracts. As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated. Note that oxygen-poor or CO2 containing blood goes through the pulmonary artery to the lungs where CO2 is exchanged for O2.

Left side of the heart (operating at the same time as the right side of the heart)

The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts.

As the ventricle contracts, oxygen-rich blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta to the arteries and eventually into the veins to complete the blood circulation in the body.

The circulatory system is a good example of how body systems interact with each other to keep the body alive. Each organ of the system works together to circulate blood throughout the body.

[illustration: midsagittal drawing of the brain with arrows pointing to numbered labels 1, 2 and 3]

Labels: 1., 2., 3.

Choices inside the box:

• cerebellum
• brainstem
• spinal cord
• cerebrum

What is It

The body system that controls other parts of the body is the Nervous System. The nervous system receives signals from stimuli inside and outside of the body. The main function of the nervous system is to integrate and coordinate bodily activities. All information outside and inside the body are processed and interpreted by the nervous system.

The nervous system has two main parts: The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

The Brain

The brain is the primary organ of the central nervous system contained within the skull. It receives and interprets countless signals. The brain makes us conscious, emotional and smart. It is the control system for movement, sleep, hunger, thirst and every other vital activity necessary for survival. The brain controls all human emotions like love, hate, fear, anger, elation, and sadness.

[illustration: midsagittal drawing of the brain with labeled parts]

Labels: Cerebrum; Hypothalamus; Medulla Oblangata; Cerebellum; Brain stem

Figure 4: Parts of the Brain

1. Cerebrum (forebrain) – the largest part of the brain. This part receives sensory messages. It acts as the center of emotions, consciousness, learning and voluntary movement.

2. Cerebellum – located beneath the cerebrum. It is smaller than the cerebrum. It coordinates involuntary and muscle action. It is responsible for man’s ability to learn habits and develop skills. It also helps maintain a person’s sense of balance.

3. Brain stem – the elongated area at the base of the brain. It contains vital centers for autonomic functions.

The Spinal Cord

It is a cordlike material in the backbone. It extends downward from the medulla oblongata through four-fifth of the spinal column.

The Peripheral Nervous System collects information from the sense organ such as the eyes and the nose. This information is transmitted to the

organs of the central nervous system which deliver decisions to the body parts that will act on the message. It is made up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body.

The neuron or nerve cell is the functional unit of the nervous system. The neuron has three parts.

[illustration: drawing of a neuron with labels Cell body, Dendrites and Axon]

Labels: Cell body; Dendrites; Axon

Figure 5: Neuron

The dendrites are the short fibers around the cell body. They carry messages into the nerve cell.

The cell body is the main component of neuron. It maintains the health of the neuron.

The axon is the long fiber of the neuron.

There are three types of neurons: sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.

A sensory neuron is typically having long dendrite and axons. A sensory neuron carries messages from the receptor organs (skins, eyes, nose, ears, and tongue) to the nerve center.

A motor neuron has short dendrites and long axons. A motor neuron receives information from the nerve centers and transmits it to the effector organs (muscles or glands).

Interneurons are found only in central nervous system (brain or spinal cord). They connect sensory neurons to motor neurons.

The Autonomic Nervous System controls or regulates body’s internal environment, including the body temperature, pulse and respiration rate, and

blood pressure. These are the vital signs. Vital signs reflect the condition your internal organs are in.

The Autonomic Nervous System has two divisions: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nerves.

When a sympathetic nerve produces an effect, the parasympathetic nerve opposes it. For example, if the blood pressure is too high, a message to the brain stimulates the parasympathetic nerve to slow down the heart rate, thus reducing blood pressure. Both systems are directly involved in maintaining normal functions of cells.
