What are the main

organs of the respiratory
system?
The Respiratory System
The respiratory system is

responsible for breathing, which is
the process of bringing oxygen
into the body and removing
carbon dioxide.
Breathing is essential for the

survival of all living organisms as
it provides oxygen for cellular
respiration, the process by which
cells produce energy.

Parts of the Respiratory
System
The respiratory system consists of several organs,
including the nose, mouth, trachea, bronchi, and
lungs.
The nose and mouth are the primary entry points for
air into the respiratory system.
The trachea, or windpipe, transports air from the nose

and mouth to the bronchi.
The bronchi are the passages that branch off from the
trachea and lead into the lungs.
The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system

where gas exchange occurs.
The Process of Breathing
reathing involves two main processes: inhalation and exhalation
During inhalation, the

diaphragm contracts and moves
downward while the muscles
between the ribs contract,
causing the ribcage to expand.
This creates negative pressure
in the chest cavity, allowing air
to be drawn into the lungs.
During exhalation, the

diaphragm and muscles relax,
causing the ribcage to return to
its resting position and air to be
expelled from the lungs.
Gas Exchange in the
Lungs

Gas exchange occurs in the
alveoli. These are tiny air
sacs in the lungs.
Oxygen from the air passes

through the walls of the alveoli
into the bloodstream, while
carbon dioxide from the
bloodstream passes into the
alveoli to be exhaled.
This process is essential for
providing oxygen to the body's
cells and removing waste
carbon dioxide.

Common Respiratory
Disorders
Common respiratory disorders include asthma,
bronchitis, and pneumonia.
Asthma is a chronic condition

characterized by inflammation
and narrowing of the airways,
leading to difficulty breathing.
Bronchitis is an inflammation
of the bronchial tubes, often
caused by viral or bacterial
infections.
Pneumonia is an infection of
the lungs that can cause
symptoms such as fever, cough,
and difficulty breathing.
Importance of Healthy
Habits for Respiratory
Health
Healthy habits such as not
smoking, avoiding exposure
to air pollutants, and
exercising regularly can help
maintain respiratory health.
Quitting smoking is especially

important as it is the leading
cause of preventable
respiratory diseases such as Regular exercise can

CW-
• In your note book draw the
structure of an Air Sac in
the lungs.
• Activity 1.2.1 from

learner’s book.
CW-
Fill in the Blank: Fill in the blank

with the correct words.
1. The main organ responsible for gas exchange in
humans is the--------.
2. Oxygen enters the bloodstream through tiny air
sacs called---------__.
3. The process of breathing in air is called, while
breathing out is called ----------_____.
4. The __ is the tube that connects the mouth and
nose to the lungs_-----------.
5. Carbon dioxide is a __ product of cellular
respiration that needs to be removed from the
body------------.

CW-
6.Explain how the structure of alveoli

helps in efficient gas exchange.
7.Describe two ways in which the

human body increases the rate of gas
exchange during exercise.
CW- check your answers.
1. lungs
2. alveoli
3. inhalation, exhalation
4. trachea
5. waste
6.Alveoli have a very thin, moist wall that is only one cell thick. They
are surrounded by a network of capillaries, which allows for quick
diffusion of gases. Their large surface area and short diffusion
distance make gas exchange highly efficient.
7. During exercise, the body increases the rate of gas exchange by:
1) Increasing breathing rate, which brings more oxygen into the lungs
more frequently. 2) Increasing heart rate, which pumps blood through
the lungs faster, allowing for more rapid gas exchange.
