Cardiovascular/Respiratory connections:
1.
2.
Discuss the intricate relationship between
the cardiovascular system and the
respiratory system that occurs at the lungs.
Why is this significant to the function?
Predict the purpose for the large number of
blood vessels in the lungs. What purpose
does this serve?

Thoracic Cavity:
Gently pull and push the knob at the base of this
model and observe what is happening.
1. What relationship exists between volume
and pressure in this “thoracic cavity?” What
role does the diaphragm play in this
relationship?
2. Diagram the position of the diaphragm
during “inhale” vs. “exhale.”
3. Predict other anatomical structures that
may assist in the process of ventilation.

Asthma Model:
1.
2.
Predict the tissue layer of the bronchi that
is affected by a) constriction and b)
inflammation due to asthma.
Discuss two ways this model demonstrates
the relationship between the respiratory
and lymphatic systems.

Pig Lung Demonstration:
Inflate the pig lungs with the pump by gently
pumping the bellows. Please do not over inflate.
Observe the lungs carefully.
1. How are the lungs like and unlike balloons?
2. What are the factors that contribute to lung
capacity and volume?
3. Look carefully at the lungs as air is pumped in.
Discuss your observations in terms of where
the air appears to go within the lungs.
