Respiratory System Project

Hello, everybody.

Today I'll be presenting to you the respiratory system.

We will be covering the major organs how the system

works, interacting with other systems and illnesses and medical treatments.

So first, we're going to go through the major organs.

These are organized by the conducting zone and the respiratory

zone. And here we have a little diagram that showcases

the main organs.

The first the conducting zone.

These are the organs that bring the air into your

lungs. They include the nose, mouth, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx

and trachea.

In this diagram, we can see where those organs are.

Next we have the respiratory zone.

This is where the gas exchange actually occurs, and I'll

talk a little bit about that later.

These include the bronchi bronchial old Neville, I.

So here on the side we can see the bronchi,

which split into the right and left lung.

The broncos, which are like little branches and stems inside

the lung, and the heavily which a tiny wet sacks

of wet membrane on the ends of the bronchi olds

how the system actually works.

So the respiratory system uses a combination of bulk flow

and diffusion to bulk flow is basically when you bring

a lot of oxygen molecules into your lungs very quickly,

so we'll start again at the conducting zone, bringing the

air into your lungs.

Step one when you breathe in your nose filters, dust

and particles in the air.

The tiny little hairs and mucus is in your nose

also helps warms and moist ins There.

Step to the air, moves down your trachea and splits

into your left and right Bronchi.

So here in this diagram, we can see your trachea

and you're right and left bronchi.

Next we have the respiratory zone.

This is where the gas exchange actually occurs.

And I will be talking about that in the next

slide. Step three.

The oxygen has now reached the valley and you can

diffuse into your red blood cells.

Just a reminder.

The heavily are these tiny sacs at the end of

the bronchi ALS.

And in this failure we can see a much larger

versions of the evil eye, and we can now see

that there is covered.

They're covered in tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which contain

red blood cells.

So now is when the actual diffusion happens on the

left we see the oxygen molecules in the village and

on the right, the carbon dioxide molecules in the blood.

The gray line in between represents the thin, wet membrane

of the veal.

I and the oxygen will now diffuse into the bloodstream,

and the carbon dioxide will diffuse into the carbon dioxide

will diffuse into the of Eli.

So essentially they switch places.

Step four.

Now you will exhale, and the carbon dioxide will follow

the same path and exit your body.

So now we'll talk about how the respiratory system interacts

with other systems in your body, including the nervous system

and the circulatory system.

So the nervous system nervous system sends signals to the

muscles around your lungs telling them to contract and expand.

So in this diagram to the right, we can see

the diaphragm.

So when you breathe in your diaphragm contracts and when

you breathe out, the diaphragm expands.

Now we have the circulatory system.

This moves the blood in and out of the lungs

so oxygenated blood will move out of the lung to

serve the rest of your body and blood that has

too much carbon dioxide will go to your lungs in

order to get more oxygen illnesses and medical treatments, so

there are many illnesses that can affect your lungs.

And the major ones I'm going to talk about today

include asthma, which are, which is a disease that affects

your lungs that causes breathlessness and coughing pneumonia, which is

when the heavily socks are filled up with a fluid

that make makes it very hard to breathe.

Pneumonia is caused by viruses such as covid, bacteria and

fungi and cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.

Where the body makes a thick music is that can

affect your lungs.

There are about 3000 Canadians today, with cystic fibrosis diagnosis

and treatment.

A bronchoscopy, a brown bronchus copy can be used, which

is basically a A light, a tube that goes down

your airways to check for inflammation and bleeding.

And asthma.

Inhaler can be used in case an asthma attack and

which relaxes the muscles in your airways into the lungs.

Antibiotics can be used for many other types of respiratory

infections. Last but not least, we have protecting the system,

so to protect, to protect your lungs, try not to

smoke, do not smoke and take preventative measures, such as

washing your hands to protect against respiratory infections.

So an example of a respiratory infection would be covid

19 and last, but not least, uh, keeping up with

good exercise can help keep healthy lungs.

Thank you for listening to my presentation.
