The Respiratory System
• Why do astronauts
wear space suits and
carry oxygen when they
go out in space?
Why do deep sea divers
take oxygen with them
on a dive?
The Respiratory System Functions
• The respiratory system moves oxygen from
the outside environment into the body.
• It also removes carbon dioxide and water from
the body.
Respiration: What is it?
Respiration is the process by which oxygen and glucose (sugar) go through a
chemical reaction inside cells. The chemical reaction releases energy that the
cell uses.
oxygen + sugar
Energy and
carbon dioxide
