later on after the discussion.
 C.3 Presentation of the new
lesson
 Our topic today is all about
respiratory system.
 What is respiratory system? Kindly
read the definition.

 Respiratory System – is
responsible for bringing oxygen
inside the body through inhalation
and throwing out carbon dioxide of
the body through exhalation.

 It is simple act of breathing, but it

is important to the whole
functioning of the body.

 We are breathing all the time

because our body cells need
oxygen and throwing out carbon
dioxide because too much carbon
dioxide is toxic to our body.

 Do you understand?
 Yes teacher
 Is there any question?
 None
 There are different parts of
respiratory system.

 Kindly read the number 1.

1. Nose – is the primary organ of
smell.
a. Nostrils – external openings
of the nose, the main
conducting airway.
b. Cilia – specialized tiny hair.

 Respiratory system starts from the

nose. The gas enters and leaves
the body through the nose.

 The nostrils are like an open gate

of the nose.
 Inside of the nose, there are
specialized tiny hair called cilia.
What do you think is the function of
cilia?
 The cilia traps the dirt in the air.
 Very good, those specialized tiny
hair filters the air that we breathe
in.

 Do you understand?
 Yes teacher

 After the air entering the nose, it

goes through the nasal cavity.

 What is nasal cavity?

2. Nasal cavity – two narrow canals.
It is where the air is filtered,
moistened and warmed.
 Nasal cavity are two narrow canals
behind our nose, in the middle of
the face.

 Nasal cavity moistened, warmed

and filtered the air by the help of
cilia because cilia were extended
from the nostrils into the trachea

 Do you understand?
 Yes teacher
 Is there any question?
 None
 After the air gets filtered, warmed
and moistened, it passes through
the pharynx.

 What is pharynx?
3. Pharynx – is the passage for both
food and air, extending from the
back of the nasal cavity and mouth
of the esophagus.
 From the mouth, the food passes
through the pharynx, into the
esophagus and the air from the
nasal cavity into the larynx.

 Do you understand?
 Yes teacher
 After the air passes through the
pharynx, it goes to the larynx.

 What is larynx?
4. Larynx – is the voice box. Inside
the larynx, vocal cords are found
 where voice is produced because
of the vibrations of the ligaments
inside the larynx.

 Kindly hold your neck.

(The students were holding their neck)

 Everybody says “ahmmmm”

 ahmmm
 What did you feel when you were
holding your neck while saying
“ahmmm”?
 There is vibration teacher.
 Very good, those vibrations are
from the larynx or voice box that
produces sounds.

 Do you understand?
 Yes teacher
 Since the pharynx is the passage
of both food and air, why do you
think that the food doesn’t go to
the larynx?
 Because of the epiglottis.
 Very good, what is an epiglottis?
 It is a flap tissue, it prevents the
food from passing through the
larynx.
 Very good, when we swallow, the
epiglottis automatically close the
larynx to prevent the food from
passing through the larynx.

 Do you understand?
 Yes teacher
 Is there any question?
 None
 Let’s proceed to the next part of
respiratory system which is the
trachea.

 What is trachea?
5. Trachea – it is the windpipe of the
respiratory system.
 After air passes through the larynx,
it goes through the windpipe called
trachea, then down through the air
tubes called bronchi.

 What is bronchi?
6. Bronchi (bronchus) – also called
Y-tube, it conducts air into the
lungs.
 Bronchi has two branches which is
the left bronchus and right
 bronchus that were connected into
the left lung and right lung.

 Since bronchi were connected into

the lungs, the bronchi conducts air
into the lungs.

 Do you understand?

 What are lungs?  Yes teacher

 Lungs are the two spongy saclike 7. Lungs – are the main organs of
organ that occupies the chest the respiratory system.
cavity.

 The right lung is divided into 3

lobes while 2 lobes in the left lung.

 Why do you think that the right

lung is bigger than the left lung?

 Very good, since our heart is filled

at the left part of our chest, there is  To give space for the heart
a space for the heart.

 Do you understand?

 Inside the lungs, there are small

tubes that were connected to the  Yes teacher
bronchi and they called
bronchioles.

 What is bronchioles?
8. Bronchioles – small airway that
were connected to alveoli.
 How do they look like?

 At the end of the bronchioles, there

 They look like branches of tree.
are alveoli.

 What are alveoli?

9. Alveoli – are the tiny sacs in the

 How do they look like? lungs. The site of gas exchange.
 Very good! There are about 300  They look like grapes.
million alveoli in our lungs. The
alveoli are covered with capillaries
and this is where the oxygen and
carbon dioxide exchange.

 Oxygen in the air sacs moves and

absorbed by the blood, and carbon
dioxide moves out of the blood and
 absorbed by the air sacs.

 Do you understand?

 Is there any question?

 Yes teacher
 The respiration was like in our
activity earlier, when the first  None
member passed the question to
the next member until it reaches
the last member and he/she run
into the board to write the answer.
The question becomes an answer.

 In respiration, the nose is the one

which receives the oxygen first and
it is passed to the other parts until
it reaches the alveoli that
exchange into carbon dioxide.

 Do you understand?

 Is there any question?

 Yes teacher
 There is a muscle that helps us in
breathing and it is called the  None
diaphragm.

 Kindly read the definition.

10. Diaphragm – it is a large dome

 Diaphragm separates the chest
part and abdominal part and it has
an important role in our breathing.
shaped muscle. It constructs
during inhalation then returns to
the resting position when you
exhale.

 As we breathe, we inhale and

exhale. What do you mean by

 Very good, how about exhale?  When the oxygen gets inside the
body.
