Respiratory system consists of organs that take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide from the body. Encircle
all the parts of the respiratory system from words inside the box.
Stomach, alveoli, nostrils, lungs, epiglottis, small intestine, large intestine, trachea, anus.
Review:
Complete the statements below. Choose your answer from the given list. Write your answer in your Science
journal.
small intestine, large intestine, stomach, anus, esophagus, rectum, mouth, ptyalin, peristalsis, digestion.
The process of breaking down the food that can be absorbed for the use of the body is called1.________.
Digestion starts in the 2._________. The 3._________as an enzyme moistens the food. From the mouth, the food
enters a long muscular tube that starts from the back of your throat. The food then travels to the
4._________where it is broken down into smaller pieces. The food is pushed down the esophagus into the
stomach by rhythmic, wave-like movements known as 5._________. The food goes to the 6.________, a 7-meter
coiled long tube in the lower abdomen where final digestion takes place. Undigested food goes to
the7.__________. The undigested food is eliminated through the 8.___________.
Motivation
Directions: Guess the concept being described in each item. Unscramble the letters of the highlighted word to
come up with the correct answer.
The respiratory system is a system that enables the respiration process in all living things. Breathing process
is essential to both human and animals in order to live. The process of exchanges of gases with the
environment is called respiration. Respiration is the intake of oxygen and its delivery to the cells of the
different parts of the body and the release of carbon dioxide.
Nasal Cavity
The nostrils are the opening into the nasal passages that are lined with hairs. The nasal cavity is lined by
glands that produce sticky mucus. Dust, pollen, and other materials are trapped by mucus. This trapping of air
impurities helps in filtering the air you breathe.
Pharynx and Larynx
Pharynx is also called the throat. The common passageway for both food, water, and air.
The larynx contains two vocal cords that vibrate when air passes by them.
Trachea
Trachea is known as the windpipe. It also filters the air we inhale and branches into the bronchi.
Bronchi
Bronchi are two tubes that carry air into the lungs. Bronchial tubes branch into smaller tubes called
bronchioles.
Bronchioles
Bronchioles are smaller tubes that branch off into alveoli
Alveoli
Alveoli are grapelike structures at the end of each bronchioles surrounded by capillaries. Between
the alveoli and capillaries, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
Lungs
Lungs are the main organ of the respiratory system. This is where exchange of gases occurs, oxygen
is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled out. Diaphragm
Diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that controls breathing which is located at the bottom of the
lungs. When we inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves down allowing air to move into the lungs. When
we exhale, the diaphragm expands, thus reducing the amount of space for the lungs and forces air out.

Generalization
Breathing is very important in life. Each organ of respiratory systems works together to circulate
oxygen throughout the body. The circulation of oxygen starts from the nostril going through the pharynx and
larynx, down to the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles and lastly the air you breath goes at the tiny-walled sacs
called alveoli where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
