PRESENTATION OUTLINE
-The Respiratory system begins with the nose.
-The nose filters dirt and other particles that should not get inside your body.
-The mouth and the wind pipe are next.
-The trachea is your wind pipe.
-The air goes down your trachea.
-Next the lungs do all of their work.
-This is where all the air exchange takes place.
-The air goes into the lungs this is where the gas exchange takes place.
-The lung tissue is full of blood vessels.
-The oxygen gets dropped off by the lungs into the blood vessels while at the same time picking up the carbon dioxide.
-You exhale to get rid of the carbon dioxide and inhale to get the oxygen from the air into the body.
Organs in the Respiratory System are external nares, internal nares, sinuses, pharynx, uvula, epiglottis, glottis,
trachea, larynx, bronchi,
bronchioles, alveoli, and the
lungs.

Smoking and heavy pollution can damage your lungs. Every year your lungs process more than 4 million liters or air. That means we breathe about 23,000 times a day.

-Hairs in the nose help to clean the air we breathe as well as warming it.
-The highest recorded "sneeze speed" is 165 km per hour.
-The surface area of the lungs is roughly the same size as a tennis court.
-A person at rest usually breathes between 12 and 15 times a minute.
