 Vocabulary

 Respiration - Provide the body with supply of oxygen
and rid of carbon dioxide.
 Gills - Type of respiration found in fish.
 Spiracles - Type of respiration find in insects
 Carbon dioxide(Co2)- Waste produced by the body

 Esophagus -Tube that goes to the stomach
 Trachea - Tube that leads to the lungs
 Epiglottis - Flap that covers up the path to the lungs
when eating or drinking.
 Larynx - The upper part of the respiration system,

 Bronchi - Passage through which air enters the lungs.
 Part of the respiratory system

 Alveoli - Exchanges of gases inside the lungs
actually happens in the tiny sacks

 Diaphragm - A dome shape muscle that separates

 INHALING
When you inhale,
your diaphragm
contracts and moves
down. Your ribs
move out and up,
increasing the size of
your chest cavity.
Air moves through
your nose and mouth
and into your lungs
EXHALING
When you exhale,
your diaphragm
relaxes and moves up
into your chest cavity.
Your ribs move in
and down, reducing
the size of the chest
cavity and forcing air
out of your lungs.
