RESPIRATION AND EXCRETION
Respiratory System
Vocal Cords
Produces voice by vibrating. Cords
are stretched across the opening of
the larynx.
Lungs
Main organ of the respiratory system
Mucus
Sticky material that moistens air
Diaphragm
Large, dome-shaped muscle that aids
in breathing
Bronchi
Part of respiratory system that
branches and directs air into the
lungs
Small flap of tissue that seals the
trachea when swallowing
Epiglottis
Respiration
Process of breaking down oxygen
and sugar to produce carbon dioxide,
water, and energy
Alveoli
Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas
exchange takes place
The role of the respiratory system is Oxygen
to bring what substance into the body
Where gas exchange occurs in the
respiratory system
The throat, where air enters after
going through the nasal cavities
Alveoli
Pharynx
Excretory System
Excretion
Body’s process of removing waste
from the blood
Urine
Liquid waste made of water and urea
Liver
Excretory organ where urea is
produced
Urinary bladder
Sac-like muscular organ where urine
is stored
Main function of the excretory
system
To collect and remove wastes from
the body
You must be able to identify these
organs from a drawing.
Urinary bladder
Kidneys
Bronchi
pharynx
Trachea
alveoli
urethra
ureter
lungs
diaphragm
Nephrons
Tiny filtering structures in the
kidneys where urine is produced
A chemical found in urine that
comes from the breakdown of
proteins
Where water and chemicals are
eliminated through sweat, or
perspiration
Urea
Substances produced during
respiration
Chemical in tobacco smoke that
binds to hemoglobin
Addictive drug in tobacco smoke
Carbon dioxide and water
Skin
Carbon monoxide
Nicotine
