 LESSON
The Human Respiratory System
1

Jumpstart

Why do we believe that life is possible only in planets where oxygen is present?
Oxygen is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the cells in the body would not be
able to release the energy in the food for power, and they would die within minutes.
The human respiratory system consists of organs in the body that helps us to breath.
When you inhale air, your respiratory system gets oxygen. When you exhale, carbon
dioxide is released.
Breathe in and out. Notice your chest and belly moving and feel the soft air
passing from the nose. Listen to the quite sounds of breathing in and out. Imagine
the air moving from the nose into the throat, through the air tubes, and into the air
sacs.

Discover
The Human Respiratory System

The parts of the respiratory system that are in charge of supplying oxygen are
the nose, nasal passageways/nasal cavity, pharynx (throat), larynx (“voice box”), the
trachea (windpipe), lungs, and diaphragm. In the nose and nasal passages, the
entering air is made warm, damp, and clean of unknown particles. Next, the air
moves down through the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Trachea is the
empty tube that serves as passageway of air into the lung. Bronchi are the two
branching tubes that connect the trachea to the lungs. These tubes carry air into
each lung. Inside the lungs, the bronchi divide into tiny tubes called bronchioles. At
the end of the bronchioles are hundreds of tiny air balloons called air sacs or alveoli
where exchange of gasses taking place. A large dome-shaped muscle called
diaphragm is also found under the lungs.

Breathing Mechanism in Humans
Breathing is always associated with the process of respiration. When you
breathe in or inhale, the diaphragm muscle contracts. Inhaling moves the diaphragm
down and expands the chest cavity. Simultaneously, the ribs move up and increase
the size of the chest cavity. There is now more space and less air pressure inside the
lungs. Air pushes in from the outside where there is higher air pressure. It pushes
into the lungs where there is lower air pressure. When you breathe out or exhale, the
diaphragm muscle relaxes. The diaphragm and ribs return to their original place and
the chest cavity returns to its original size. As a result, there is now less space and
greater air pressure inside the lungs. It pushes the air outside where there is lower
air pressure.

The circulatory system or cardiovascular system is the transport system of

our body. It comprises of blood, blood vessels, and heart. The circulatory system
functions with other body systems like respiratory system in which blood absorbs
oxygen and circulates this vital gas and discharge carbon dioxide in the lungs, with
this scenario our circulatory works in tandem with the respiratory system.

Our heart is the vital organ of the circulatory system; it pumps the blood
throughout the body. It is divided into four chambers; two atrium and two ventricles.
The right and left sides of the heart work together. The pattern described below is
repeated over and over, causing blood to flow continuously to the heart, lungs, and
throughout the body.

Right side
• 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.
• 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.

Left side
• The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left
atrium.
• As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your 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, blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into
the aorta and to the body.

Once blood travels through the pulmonic valve, it enters your lungs. This is called
the pulmonary circulation. From your pulmonic valve, blood travels to the pulmonary
artery to tiny capillary vessels in the lungs.
Here, oxygen travels from the tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the
capillaries, into the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste product
of metabolism, passes from the blood into the air sacs. Carbon dioxide leaves the
body when you exhale. Once the blood is purified and oxygenated, it travels back to
the left atrium through the pulmonary veins.

Activity 2: Heart: Pumping Organ

Objective: Identify and describe the parts of the human heart.
Materials: Activity Sheet, pencil
Procedure: Use the word bank to label the parts of the heart. Answer also the guide

3. How many chambers does a heart have? What are they? _______________________
4. Identify and differentiate each chamber of the human heart.

Blood Vessels
Blood vessel carries the blood throughout the body. It has three types: the
arteries, veins and the capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the
heart to the cells, tissues, and organs of the body. Veins carry deoxygenated blood
to the heart, while capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that connect the smallest
arteries to the smallest veins.

Blood
Blood is the fluid that flows in the circulatory system and carries substances
to the body’s cells, and transport metabolic waste products away from those same
cells. The following are four main components of the blood:
• Plasma (Liquid part of blood, mostly water)
• RBC or Red Blood Cells (Has hemoglobin that is important in carrying oxygen)
• WBC or White Blood Cells (Fight bacteria and other foreign substances)
• Platelets (Cell fragments that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding)

is pumped to the lungs. When you (9. Breathe out, Breath in) the carbon dioxide

leaves your body through the (10. Lungs, Heart).
