The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste
product of cellular respiration and is toxic to cells
Then, the circulatory system transports the oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body

Nasal cavity – lined with cilia to trap inhaled particles and moisten and warm the air mucus – traps inhaled
particles cilia – sweeps mucus
up to throat to be swallowed
Pharynx – where oral and nasal cavities meet. Passageway for air
and food Larynx – voice box

Epiglottis – flap of cartilage that covers the trachea when swallowing to prevent food and liquids from entering your lungs
![Page 6: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Trachea – wind pipe with cartilaginous rings
Bronchi – two branches of the trachea that lead to each lung
![Page 7: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Bronchiole – smaller branches of the two bronchi that end in tiny air sacs called alveoli
![Page 8: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Alveoli – You have 300,000,000 air sacs in your lungs where gas exchange occurs
Increase the surface area of your lungs to 42x the surface area of your body
Their membranes are one cell thick and are surrounded with capillaries.

Diaphragm – thin sheet of smooth muscle spanning the rib cage that moves up and down to bring air into and out of the lungs
![Page 11: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Breathing occurs because of air pressure differences between the lungs and the atmosphere
Lungs have no muscles, so the work is done by the diaphragm and intercostal muscles
Intercostals – muscles between the ribs
![Page 12: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Gain O2 by inhaling Intercostals and
diaphragm contract Diaphragm flattens
and pulls downward Rib cage is pushed up
and out causing a decrease in the air pressure in the lungs (air pressure in lungs is now lower than atmospheric pressure)
Air is sucked into lungs
![Page 13: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rid body of CO2 by exhaling
Passive - also due to change in lung air pressure
Intercostals and diaphragm relax, decreasing the volume in the chest cavity
Increases the air pressure in the lungs (higher than atmospheric pressure)
Air is forced out

![Page 15: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The exchange of CO2 and O2 in both the body tissues and the lungs. Occurs as a result of diffusion
O2 from alveoli diffuses into the blood in the capillaries, in turn CO2 in the blood diffuses into the alveoli
Body tissues – CO2 levels high, O2 levels low
RBC in lungs – O2 levels high, CO2 levels low
![Page 16: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Receptors in the brain and the cardiovascular system continually monitor the levels of O2 and CO2 in the blood
As CO2 levels increase, the pH decreases (blood becomes more acidic) causing a person’s breathing rate to increase. Thus, they will expel more CO2 and take in more O2
![Page 17: Accelerated Biology. The job of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649cb85503460f9497f2fb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CO2 combines with H2O to form carbonic acid (H2CO3)
Carbonic acid breaks up to form bicarbonate ions (HCO3) and Hydrogen ions (H+)
Most CO2 travels to the lungs as bicarbonate ions (HCO3)
The H+ ions is what makes the blood acidic, causing an increase in breathing.
The Equation:
H2O + CO2 H2CO3 HCO3- + H+

Carbon Monoxide binds more readily to hemoglobin than oxygen and carbon dioxide
If present, it will prevent oxygen from being delivered and lead to hypoxia, an inadequate oxygen supply

Asthma – Chronic condition where the bronchioles of the lungs become inflamed due to sensitivity of stimuli in the air
Bronchial walls tighten and extra mucus is produced causing airways to narrow
Strenuous exercise and stressful situations can trigger an asthma attack

Emphysema – Elastic fibers in the lungs are destroyed
Begins with the destruction of the alveoli
Results in fatigue and breathlessness
Smoking causes 90% of emphysema cases

Lung Cancer – abnormal cell growth One of the leading of causes of death in the
world Accounts for 28% of all cancer deaths Smoking is the major cause of lung cancer
