Ms. Kelly 7th Grade Health Journal #1: Breathe in. Breathe out. Most of the time we breathe without realizing it, as it is an involuntary movement; we often take breathing for granted. Take a minute to close your eyes and just breathe without talking for a minute. When you open them, record in your journals how it feels when you take time to focus on nothing but your breathe. Then, discuss what you know about the respiratory system. Primary Function To supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. (This is done through breathing.) Breathing In and Out Inspiration: “Breathing in” or inhaling Expiration: “Breathing out” or exhaling Oxygen: what we breathe in during inspiration All of the cells in our body need this to live It is the fuel that makes all body processes run Carbon dioxide: what we breathe out during expiration The waste product in our bodies Parts of the Body Involved Nose Throat Voice box Windpipe Lungs Nose Organ used during inhalation and exhalation Cilia helps trap and filter out dust and other particles that enter during inspiration Mouth With nose, warms and humidifies air entering the lungs through inspiration. Pharynx AKA “The Throat” Carries both food and air Esophagus Passageway for food Epiglottis A small flap of tissue that covers the air passage when we swallow Keeps food and liquid from going into lungs Larynx AKA “The Voice Box” Uppermost part of the air-only passage Contains vocal cords, which vibrate to produce sound Amount of air pushed through vocal cords regulates volume of sound Journal: Pick one from each category and form a story!

Discuss about your trip as you go from being in the air to your respiratory system and finally into the rest of your body tissues. Next, put it in reverse. As a carbon dioxide molecule, consider your trip from the body’s tissues to the outside air. What about when you enter even more dangerous territory: the lungs of a long-term smoker?! Describe your experience in this traumatic adventure! Journal: Respond: Did the video we watched last class have an impact on you? Why or why not? Which specific scenes or information (if any) were most influential? Why? Journal: You have learned about the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke and discussed other products these chemicals are found in. These chemicals have harmful effects on the respiratory system, as well as other body systems. Despite having this knowledge, approximately 4000 teens will start smoking their first cigarette today. People say knowledge = power, but this does not always appear to be the case. Why do you think this is? What factors influence adolescents to make poor decisions regarding tobacco use?
