CLOZE EVALUATION PROCEDURE
BREATH OF LIFE: OUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
NAME
DIRECTIONS: Select the answer from the four choices given by circling the correct letter.
system brings
1. We need food, water, and of course air in order to live. The.
oxygen to all parts of our bodies. This body system never stops this vital job
because we would not survive without air.
2. The respiratory system consists of specific parts, each with a special job. Air enters through
the mouth and nose and is warmed. It moves to the ____, the chamber behind the mouth. This
tube leads into two other tubes.
3. After air moves through the pharynx it continues downward. The.
directs the air into two separate branches or tubes. These tubes direct air into
the lungs.
., or windpipe,
4. There are two branches of the trachea that direct air to the lungs. These tubes are called the
____. They connect each of the two lungs to the windpipe. The exchange of oxygen and
carbon dioxide takes place in the lungs.
5. The lungs are filled with tiny air sacs for this exchange of gases. These very tiny sacs are
called ____ and are surrounded by blood vessels. It is here that the actual exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide takes place.
1. (A) circulatory
(B) respiratory
(C) digestive
(D) muscular
2. (A) larynx
(B) epiglottis
(C) pharynx
(D) bronchi
3. (A) bronchi
(B) larynx
(C) alveoli
(D) trachea
4. (A) bronchi
(B) alveoli
(C) trachea
(D) pharynx
5. (A) alveoli
(B)larynx
(C) bronchi
(D) pharynx
6. (A) arteries
6. The tiny blood vessels surrounding the alveoli are essential for transferring these two
gases. These blood vessels, called ____, are the smallest of all blood vessels. Red blood
cells travel through these tubes and exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen.
7. The breathing process must get the outside air down into the lungs for this exchange
process to take place. A very strong muscle called the ____ is located under the rib cage. It
works with the lungs and ribs to get air in, and waste gases out, of the lungs.
8. The brain helps regulate the breathing rate. There is a.
center in the brain
which sends signals to the diaphragm and chest muscles to control the
pattern of breathing. This center will make sure that the body has the proper amount of oxygen in
the body at all times.
9. The respiratory system can be damaged by various diseases. One such disease called
_____ damages the tiny alveoli or air sacs of the lungs. Smoking has been linked with this
disease.
10. Other types of disease can damage the lungs very badly. One such disease, called
____, is also linked with smoking. Smoking should be avoided in order to keep our lungs
strong and healthy.
