Respiratory System Group 2


The function of the respiratory system is to get oxygen into the body and to get rid of carbon dioxide. Lungs are the most important organs in the respiratory system. They connect your body to the outside air. The circulatory system then carries the oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. You have two lungs. One is in the right side of your chest, and one is in the left side. Our heart lies between them.
What are the parts of respiratory system?
The parts of respiratory system are the nose, mouth, windpipe, hollow tubes and a pair of lungs.
What is their individual function?
Nose and mouth:They let air into your body. Did you know that your nose and mouth are connected? Your nose connects to the back of your mouth through two tubes. The air you breathe in goes from your mouth and nose down to your trachea and into your lungs. Your nose is really neat, because it is able to block some of the dirt and germs in the air. Your nose has hair in it that can block some of the stuff, but the most amazing part is the mucus that your nose makes. The dirt and germs in the air get stuck in the mucus in your nose, and they can't enter your lungs.
Windpipe:It is a tube that connects your mouth and nose to your lungs.
