walk, we musL breaLhe! 8esplraLory sysLem handles Lhls lmporLanL [ob. WhaL
are Lhe funcLlons, sLrucLures, dlseases and lnLeracLlons of Lhe resplraLory sysLem?

1he resplraLory sysLem's maln [ob ls Lo breaLhe.
8reaLhlng ls very lmporLanL for us. We breaLhe
whaLever you wanL Lo breaLhe or noL. Pow does
resplraLory sysLem works? llrsL, alr enLers Lhough
Lhe nose or mouLh and your dlaphragm conLracLs.
Second, Lhe mucus Lraps dlrL or germs LhaL maybe
ln Lhe alr before lL goes lnLo our lungs. 1hen, alr
passes from Lhe slnus Lo Lhe back of Lhe LhroaL and lnLo Lhe larynx. nexL, alr
passes Lhrough Lhe Lrachea and bronchl Lhen geL lnLo Lhe lungs. ln Lhe lungs,
oxygen leaves Lhe lungs and enLers Lhe blood, and Lhen brlngs lL as far as lL can
Lo Lhe cells. 1he blood brlngs Lhe oxygen Lo all Lo Lhe cells ln your body. Carbon
dloxlde goes Lhe opposlLe way. And flnally, carbon dloxlde passes Lhrough Lhe
bronchl, Lrachea, larynx, LhroaL, and slnus and geL ouL from Lhe nose. LeL's Lalk
abouL Lhe sLrucLures of Lhe resplraLory sysLem.
ulfferenL parLs make up resplraLory sysLem, such as lungs, alr sacs,
bronchloles and larynx. l Lhlnk LhaL Lhe mosL lmporLanL organ ln Lhe
resplraLory sysLem ls lungs, because lungs ln where Lhe passes lnLerchange.
lnslde Lhe lungs, Lhere are many dlfferenL small Lubes called bronchloles. Alr
sacs are oLher parLs of Lhe resplraLory sysLem. Alr sacs are also called alveoll. Alr
sacs are where oxygen enLers Lhe carbon dloxlde leaves Lhe blood.
1here are a loL of dlseases ln Lhe
resplraLory sysLem. AsLhma ls one of
Lhe dangerous dlseases. 1here are
more Lhan 20 mllllon people suffer
from asLhma. AsLhma means whlch
bronchloles become narrowed. 1he
alrway geLs narrower, so lL's harder for alr Lo move ln and goL ouL of Lhe Lubes.
eople who suffer from asLhma, Lhey wlll feel a llLLle hard Lo breaLhe. eople
use an lnhaler durlng an asLhma flare-up Lo help Lhem feel beLLer.
WhaL can cause asLhma? 1here are
some reasons LhaL cause asLhma. Such
as, dolng sever exerclse. lor example,
runnlng. 8ecause lf someone who suffer
from asLhma, Lhelr alrway wlll geL
narrowed easlly. AnoLher reasons are
anlmals' halr and scenL of planL. 1hese wlll lmlLaLe our nose, and Lhen our
alrways wlll geL narrowed. Also, we musL eaL healLhy. We musL eaL more
healLhy food, llke vegeLables, frulLs, rlce and noodles. Also, drlnk 8 glasses of
waLer each day. 8emember LhaL lf you have asLhma, don'L do Loo much severe
exerclse and brlng your lnhaler every day.
8esplraLory sysLem musL lnLeracL wlLh oLher sysLem Lo do Lhelr [obs. lor
example, Lhe resplraLory sysLem musL lnLeracL wlLh Lhe clrculaLory sysLem. 1hey
work LogeLher Lo geL oxygen Lo Lhe cells. Also, Lhe resplraLory sysLem works
wlLh Lhe muscular sysLem. 1hey musL works LogeLher Lo consume alr and
expand. AnoLher example, Lhe resplraLory sysLem lnLeracLs wlLh Lhe nervous
sysLem. 1he resplraLory sysLem ls conLrol by Lhe nervous sysLem. WlLhouL lL, we
can'L breaLhe. LasLly, Lhe resplraLory sysLem works wlLh Lhe skeleLal sysLem. 1he
rlb cage proLecLs our lungs.
Pow Lo keep Lhe resplraLory sysLem healLhy?
1o keep Lhls sysLem healLhy, we should noL smoke.
lL ls because nlcoLlne wlll cause consLrlcLlon of Lhe
blood vessels, maklng alr exchange more dlfflculL
ln Lhe lungs. Second way ls Lo exerclse regularly.
30 mlnuLes of physlcal acLlvlLy flve days a week
can promoLe overall healLh.
Cverall, Lhe resplraLory sysLem ls very lmporLanL Lo all of our organs ln our
body. WlLhouL lL, we are noL allve now. Pope you geL more lnformaLlon abouL
