Breathing
• As you can see from the Equation Oxygen
and food are the two important things our
cells need to give us energy.
• We’ve learned how the food gets to our
cells by digestion.
• The oxygen gets to our cells by breathing!
Pharynx
• This is the scientific name for your throat
area.
Trachea
• This is the tube that leads into your lungs.
• It is very strong and is kept open by Rings
of Cartilage.
Bronchus
As we have two lungs our Trachea divides
to branch into each one.
• These two branches are called Bronchi.
Bronchioles
• To spread out through all our lungs the
bronchi break up to even smaller little
branches called BRONCHIOLES.
