Function of a Lung
![Page 2: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The respiratory system uses many parts for breathing in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
These include the nose, the trachea, and the lungs.
![Page 3: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

First, air enters through the nose and mouthand passes through the larynx and the trachea. Once it enters the trachea, it branches out into tubes called bronchi.
These bronchi eventually separate into tiny alveoli, which are surrounded by capillaries (tiny blood vessels).

The actual act of breathing involves two main actions: inhaling, which pulls air into the lungs, and exhaling, which pushes air out ofthe lungs.
![Page 6: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Your chest can allow air in and out as a result of a muscle called the diaphragm. The diaphragm makes up the floor of the chest cavity.
When you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts and moves down, creating morespace in your chest for your lungs to fill with air.
![Page 7: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
When you exhale, your diaphragm relaxes,decreasing the space in your chest and forces air out of your lungs.
A body system that works closely with the respiratory system is the circulatory system.

Inhaling & Exhaling

This system aids in providing oxygen to all parts of the body and works with the respiratory system to carry oxygen to your cells and dissolved carbon dioxide back to your lungs.
The circulatory system is the method of transportation for all the blood that is pumped into and out of your heart.

Today, we are going to build our own lung using a pair of scissors, a plastic bottle, and two balloons.
![Page 11: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
First, start at the slit and cut off the bottom of the bottle
Next, put the end of the balloon through the mouth of the bottle
Stretch the mouth of the balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
Then, cut the small end of the balloon off and fold it over the bottom of the bottle you cut off
Hold the bottle and push in and pull out on the balloon on the bottom of the bottle

1. Name the organs, in order, through which air passes.

Trachea, Bronchi, Alveoli, Diaphragm.

2. What do the balloons represent?
![Page 15: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The balloon represents the lung and diaphragm.

3. What does the plastic container represent?
![Page 17: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The bottle represents the chest cavity.

4. What causes the balloon to fill up?
![Page 19: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The balloon fills up with air because when you push down on the balloon on the bottom (diaphragm), it creates more space in your chest for your lungs(balloon) to fill with air.

5. What gas flows into your lungs when you inhale? Exhale?
![Page 21: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When you inhale, oxygen flows into your lungs. When you exhale, carbon dioxide flows out of your lungs.

6. What is the function of the respiratory system?
![Page 23: Function of a Lung](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813c51550346895da5d269/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange gases so that blood in the body receives oxygen.
