Your

respiratory system is made of body

parts that help you breathe in oxygen
and breathe out carbon dioxide. It
includes these organs : nasal cavity,
pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchitis,
and lungs.
Air enters your body through the two
nostrils. The nostrils are the opening in

your nose. There are hair inside your

nostrils which traps dust from the air.
Your nostrils lead to cavity called the
nasal cavity. In the nasal cavity, air
gets moistened and warned.
The pharynx is found between your
nasal cavity and your esophagus.

The Respiratory System

Beneath your lungs you find the
diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscle
that helps to move air in and out your
body. Your diaphragm during your
breathing contracts and relaxes. It
exerts pressure or releases pressure
on your lungs. As you inhale, your
diaphragm contracts and moves down
the volume of your chest cavity, then
increases. The increase in volume is
caused by the upward movement of

your rib cage and the downward

movement of your diaphragm.
Air which is under pressure outside the
body pushes into your passageways
and lungs. Your lungs expand as air
fills them.

Bronchi or Bronchiole inside your lungs

that look upside-down trees split into
smaller branches and then into many
twigs which end in tiny air sacs called
alveoli. Alveoli allow the exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide to take
place in its thin wall.
