Breathing
The movement of air in and out of the lungs
Trachea (Windpipe)
Carries air from the mouth and throat to the lungs
Bronchi
Two tubes that carry air into the lungs
Bronchioles
Small tubes in the lungs
Alveoli
Small air sacs found at the end of each Bronchiole
Ribs
Bones which surround the lungs to form the lungs
Diaphragm
A sheet of muscle found underneath the lungs
Gas Exchange
The process of exchanging carbon dioxide and oxygen in the alveoli
Tar
A sticky black material that collects in the lungs after smoking
Nicotine
An addictive drug that speeds up the nervous system
Carbon Monoxide
A poisonous gas that stops the blood from carrying as much oxygen as it should
Inhalation
Air is drawn into the lungs through the nose and mouth. Muscles between the ribs contract, pulling the rib cage up and out. The lungs expand. Muscles in the diaphragm contract, pulling the air down.
Exhalation
Air is forced our of the lungs through the mouth and nose. Muscles between the ribs relax, so the rib cage falls and sinks in. The lungs get smaller. Muscles in the diaphragm relax so the air arches up.
Gas exchange
Oxygen and carbon dioxide move between alveoli and the blood. Oxygen is transported to cells for aerobic respiration. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of respiration, is removed from the body.
