It supplies the blood with oxygen in
order for the blood to deliver oxygen
to the rest of the body.
The Lungs…
•
•
•
•
•
•
Facts
A pair of organs that are the site of
oxygen absorption.
They are light pink.
Full of air
They are surprisingly light.
Takes up most of the area in your
chest.
It wraps around your heart.
Main Function
Respiration- The process of oxygen
entering your body, and carbon
dioxide leaving your body.
The Trachea…
•
•
•
•
Facts
The trachea is also called the
windpipe.
This tube leads from the top of
the neck, below the voice box,
and down towards the lungs.
It is surprisingly flexible,
stretching to be 4 or 5 inches
long.
Its made up of 16 to 20 cartilage
rings in the shape of a “C”.
Main Function
The trachea allows air to travel
passed the larynx and to the
bronchi.
The Bronchi…
Facts
• The bronchi is the branches
of the windpipe/trachea
that lead into the lungs.
• Each bronchi enters its lung
and begins on a series of
branches, called bronchial
or respiratory tree.
Main Function
The bronchi conducts air
into the lungs.
The Diaphragm…
Facts
• A sheet of muscle underneath
the lungs of mammals that
helps draw air to the lungs.
• A dome shaped muscle that
moves up and down to expand
or contract lungs.
Main Function
Contracts so the lungs can
inhale oxygen. Then releases
for the lungs to exhale carbon
dioxide.
The Alveoli…
What is it???
The alveoli is inside of the lungs and is where the
waste (carbon dioxide) goes so that our lungs can
exhale the harmful waste. So basically it is the
container of which hold carbon dioxide until it is
exhaled.
Diseases…
So many things can go
wrong with this system.
The respiratory system is
very vulnerable to toxins
and diseases.
In some cases the
patient is unable to
breath properly. Like with
pneumonia, it causes
your lungs to fill up with
fluid and then you cant
get enough air into your
lungs.
Relationships…
The respiratory system
provides the body with
oxygen and supplies the
blood with oxygen.
Then the circulatory
system sends the blood
to all the other systems
throughout the body.
Without this system you
would not be able to
function or live.
Nervous System!!
The nervous system is responsible for
sending, receiving, and processing
new impulses throughout the body.
What are they??
Central Nervous System
Brain- Controls all thoughts
and actions, your brain is
the source of everything
you do.
Peripheral Nervous System
Sensory Organs-Composed of
neurons, which convert
environmental stimuli to
electrical signals and glialike cells.
Spinal Cord-The main nerve
extending from the base of
the brain along inside of the
back bone.
Motor Neurons-A neuron that
carries an impulse from the
brain or spinal cord to a
muscle, where it simulates
contractions.
A Neuron…
Diseases…
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a
progressive disorder that is
caused by a generation of
nerve cells in the Part of the
brain called the substantia
nigra, which controls
movement. Then the nerve
cells die therefore you are
then unable to control
movement of certain parts
of your body.
Treatment
The patients are treated with
medication to relieve
symptoms of the disease.
Symptoms
• Tremor
• Involuntary movements of the
hands, arms, legs and jaw.
• Unsteady walk or balance
• Depression
• Muscles rigidity, or stiffness of
the limbs.
Relationships
• Skeletal System: the brain
regulates the position of bones by
controlling muscles.
• Cardiovascular System: the brain
regulates heart rate and blood
pressure.
• Muscular System: the brain
controls contractions of muscles
• Endocrine System: the
hypothalamus controls the
pituitary gland and other
endocrine glands.
• Lymphatic Systems: The brain can
simulate defense mechanisms
against infection.
• Respiratory System: the brain
regulates breathing rate.
• Digestive System: Provide the
building blocks for some
neurotransmitters. The brain
controls drinking and feeding
behaviors.
• Urinary System: The brain
controls urination.
• Integumentary System: Nerves
control muscles connected to hair
follicles.
