  1. Respiratory System By Thomas and Sachin

  2. What is the Respiratory System? • The Respiratory System is a system needed by the body to help us breathe.

  3. What is the function of the Respiratory System? • The Respiratory System is useful in processes like Respiration, Vocalization, Cough Production.

  4. Respiration • Cellular Respiration is the process where energy – rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy. • The respiratory system is important for respiration because it breaks the glucose down. Oxygen + Glucose  Energy

  5. Vocalisation • Vocalization is the process that enables humans to speak and to make sound. When the air passes through the pharynx and larynx, it makes the vocal cords in the larynx to vibrate. The vibration helps in production of sound and speech in humans.

  6. The Respiratory System

  7. Cells present in the Respiratory System • Pseudistratified Columnar Epithelial Cells – Found in the Larynx, Trachea and Lungs. • Ciliated Simple Columnar Epithelial Cells: Found in the nose.

  10. Interesting Facts! • Did you know that the Right lung is slightly larger than the left! • Hairs in the nose filter the air we inhale. • The highest recorded sneeze speed is 165 km per hour! • The surface area of the lungs are as large as a tennis court! • We lose half a litre of water a day through breathing! Remember breathing on glass on a cold day and seeing fog on the glass? That is the water vapour! • The breathing rate is faster in children and women than men! • The study of lung diseases is pulmonology. • The average human inhales about 11 000 litres of air a day. • Smoking is bad for your lungs! • Asthma is a common disease that effects the • Lungs.
