Parts of the System
 Nasal

 Trachea
 Bronchi
 Bronchioles
 Pharynx
 Lungs
 Alveolus
 Diaphragm
 Larynx
Definitions of The Systems Parts
 Nasal
Cavity- The cavity on either side of the nasal
septum going from the nares to the pharynx.
 Trachea-
bronchi.
 Bronchi-
The windpipe going from larynx and the
A small branch of bronchous.

esophagus.
Definitions of The System Parts
 Lungs-
Either of the two saclike respiratory organs in
the middle of humans and the higher vertebrates.
 Alveolus-
An air cell of the lungs, formed by tiny air
passageways.
 Diaphragm-
A muscular, membranous wall
separating cavitys, or limiting them.
 Larynx
- Membrane at the upper part of the
trachea in humans, in which the vocal cords are
located.
Diseases

Bronchitis- A condition in which the small airways in
the lungs become inflamed with a virus.

Asthma- When you have asthma, your lungs are
smaller than usual.

Lung Cancer- One of the commonest forms of
cancer.

Pneumonia- Inflammation of the of the lungs with
congestion.
Cure to The Diseases

Bronchitis- Sometimes, no treatment is necessary. Antibiotics
don’t work against viral infections. Most medications don’t
help treat bronchitis

Asthma- Control airway swelling, and stay away from things
that trigger your asthma.

Lung Cancer- Since Lung Cancer spreads fast, treatment
must include cancer-killing drugs (chemotherapy) taken by
mouth or injected into the body.

Pneumonia- Your doctor has to first decide whether you need

breaths lessens.
Other Systems It works With
 Digestive
System
 Circulatory
 Excretory
System
Sytem
Problems and What They
Affect
 Smoking-
Respiratory system, and
Circulatory system
 Diesel exhaust particles- Respiratory
system and the Circulatory system.
 Air Pollution- Respiratory system, and the
Circulatory system.
 Battery manufactuers- Respiratory System,
and the Circulatory system.
How it Works With Other Systems

Digestive- the respiratory system and the digestive
system work together to provide energy to body
cells.

Circulatory- the respiratory system and the
circulatory system work together when it supplies
the body with oxygen and it removes metabolic
waste products.

Excretory- The Excretory System and the
Respiratory System work together when they both
release waste.
