    Respiarotry System

    1. The respiratory system functions to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the blood. 2. Air moves through the nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and into tiny air sacs called alveoli where gas exchange occurs. 3. Key structures involved include the diaphragm and rib cage which change air pressure to drive inhalation and exhalation, and the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across membranes into blood to be transported throughout the body.

    Vocabulary Term Definition

    alveolus One of many tiny, thin-walled


    air sacs at the end of a
    bronchiole in the lungs.

    bronchiole The narrowest tube in the lungs;


    carries air from the bronchus to
    the alveoli.
    bronchus One of two large tubes in the
    chest cavity that carries air from
    the trachea to the lungs.

    diaphragm Large flat muscle at the bottom


    of the chest cavity that helps
    with breathing.

    larynx Structure in the throat that


    contains the vocal cords.

    lung Largest respiratory organ


    where gas exchange takes
    place.

    pharynx Tube at the back of the mouth


    that serves as a passageway for
    both air and food; also called the
    throat.

    (cellular) respiration Chemical process that releases


    energy by breaking down
    glucose in the presence of
    oxygen.

    trachea Tube that connects the larynx to


    the bronchi; also called the
    windpipe.
    ventilation The exchange of air between
    lungs and the outside air; also
    called breathing.

    vocal cords Folds of connective tissue that


    stretch across the opening of
    the larynx; produce a person’s
    voice.
