1. The Respiratory System By Chelsea Canlas 8-14

2. Summary

3. Lungs Main part of the respiratory system Takes in oxygen, removes carbon dioxide Red blood cells drop off oxygen to our body cells

4. Larynx Voice box What makes us speak Protects the trachea

5. Trachea First thing that oxygen travels through in your body Filters the air we breathe

6. Bronchi Two separate tubes that the oxygen passes through into our lungs Divides the oxygen so it’ll fill both lungs

7. Bronchioles Branches in your lungs that oxygen travels through Also divides the oxygen to fill our lungs

8. Alveoli Primary gas exchange units of the lung Extremely thin, so that the gas exchange is rapid

9. Diaphragm Located at the bottom of your lungs Made up of internal muscle Helps push out carbon dioxide and is main force for breathing
