What we have learnt |

By “respiratory system” we usually mean the passages that transport air to the lungs and to the |
microscopic air sacs in them, called alveoli (where gases are exchanged) and vice versa. |
The term ‘respiration’ refers to the whole chain of processes from the inhalation of air to the use of |
oxygen in the cells. |

alveoli and blood and back through the same route. |
Gas exchange in the lungs takes place in the tiny air sacs called alveoli in the lungs. The lungs have |
millions of alveoli and each lies in contact with capillaries. |
Diaphragm is a muscular tissue present at the floor of the chest cavity. |

During inspiration (inhalation) the volume of the chest cavity is increased as the diaphragm contracts |
and dome flattens out, its internal pressure decreases and the air from the outside rushes into the |
lungs. |
During expiration, the chest wall is lowered and moves inward, and the diaphragm relaxes and |
assumes its dome shape. These changes increase the pressure on the lungs; their elastic tissue |
contracts and squeezes the air out through the nose to the external atmosphere. |
Air is filtered in the nasal cavity and the whole length of the trachea. |

The moist surface of the lining of the nasal cavity, and the hairs growing from its sides, remove some |
of the tiny particles of dirt in the air. In addition, as the inhaled air passes through the nasal cavity, its |
temperature is brought close to that of the body, and it takes up water vapour. So that it becomes |

valve controls movement of air and food towards their respective passages. |
Larynx is a stiff box like structure containing our vocal cords. When air passes out of the lungs and |
over the vocal cords, it causes them to vibrate. This produces sounds on the basis of our speech, |
song etc. |

Trachea is the wind pipe channeling air to lungs. |
At its lower end the trachea or the wind pipe divides into two bronchi-one leading to each lung. |
The bronchi divide into smaller and smaller branches called bronchioles. |
These finally terminate in clusters of air sacs called alveolus in the lungs which are very small and |
numerous. Gaseous exchange takes place here as blood capillaries take up oxygen and expel |
carbon dioxide here. |
