ObjectivesExplain why breathing is important to us
(brings oxygen into the body and gets rid of carbon dioxide)
Explain the differences in composition of inhaled and exhaled air
Infer that exhaled air has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide than inhaled air, using the limewater test
Infer that exhaled air has a higher concentration of water vapour than inhaled air, using the cobalt chloride paper test

What is breathing?Breathing is the physical process of
taking in air and removing it from our body.
We need to breathe to take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.
© Copyright Star Publishing Pte Ltd
What is respiration? The air that we breathe in contains oxygen which
enters the blood and is transported to body cells.
Oxygen combines with digested food molecules in body cells to release the energy stored in them.
This process is called respiration.
Carbon dioxide is produced during respiration andremoved when we breathe out.

Differences in inhaled and exhaled airThe air we breathe in is called inhaled air.
The air we breathe out is called exhaled air.

How do we test for the presence of carbon dioxide in exhaled air?
We can test the presence of carbon dioxide in exhaled air by bubbling it into limewater.
Limewater turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide.

How do we test for the presence of water vapour in exhaled air?
To test for the presence of water vapour in exhaled air, we can use cobalt chloride paper.
If water vapour is present, dry cobalt chloride paper will turn from blue to pink.

Why does exhaled air contain morewater vapour than inhaled air?
The air sacs in our lungs contain a thin layer of moisture which will evaporate and be exhaled as we breathe out.

Objectives Identify parts of the respiratory
system (windpipe, bronchi, lungs, ribcage, diaphragm) on a diagram and state their functions
Show an awareness of how choking can lead to death

Parts of Our Respiratory SystemThe respiratory system of the
human body consists of
(a) a windpipe(b) a pair of lungs(c) a diaphragm

Functions of the Parts of theRespiratory System
Nose
Air enters the respiratory system through the nose or the mouth.
The nose contains nasal hair that traps dust and dirt from inhaled air. © Copyright Star Publishing

Functions of the Parts of theRespiratory System
Windpipe
The windpipe is a hollow tube that brings the air from the nose to the bronchi.
Mucus in the windpipe prevents dirt and dust in the inhaled air from entering the lungs.
Cells in the windpipe secrete mucus.Mucus helps to trap dust and bacteria.

Functions of the Parts of theRespiratory System
Windpipe
Hair-like structures found in the windpipe help to sweep the mucus-containing dust and harmful substances out of the windpipe.
The mucus, with its trapped dust and harmful substances, is removed by spitting or by swallowing it into the stomach.

Functions of the Parts of theRespiratory System
Bronchi (singular: bronchus)
The windpipe branches into two tubes called the bronchi.
The bronchi will carry air from the windpipe to the air sacs in the lungs.

Functions of the Parts of theRespiratory System
Lungs
The lungs contain many air sacs (alveoli) surrounded by blood vessels.
Oxygen in the inhaled air moves from the lungs into the bloodstream.
Carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled.

Functions of the Parts of theRespiratory System
Ribcage
The ribcage protects the lungs and the heart.
It helps in breathing by assisting the expansion and contraction of the lungs.

Functions of the Parts of theRespiratory System
Diaphragm
The diaphragm is a muscular sheet below the lungs.
It contracts to allow air to enter the lungs.
It relaxes to allow air to leave the lungs

Activity Book LinkActivity 10.3That’s How I Breathe
ChokingThe throat is the common
passage for food and air.
It leads to two openings at the back of the mouth.
One is the gullet and the other is the windpipe.
© Copyright Star Publishing Pte Ltd
ChokingWhen we
breathe in, air enters our windpipe.
When we swallow, food and water enter the gullet.
© Copyright Star Publishing Pte Ltd
ChokingChoking occurs when
food or water enters the windpipe.
This prevents air from entering and leaving the lungs.
If the obstruction is not removed, the victim may choke to death.

our respiratory system?

ObjectivesDiscuss the effects of
smoking/passive smoking on the respiratory system (bronchitis and lung cancer)

What are the main components of cigarette smoke?The main components of
cigarette smoke include:
(a) Nicotine(b) Tar(c) Carbon monoxide(d) Irritants

What is passive smoking?Even if you do not smoke, your
heart and lungs can still be damaged when you breathe in smoke from the cigarettes of smokers around you.
This is called passive smoking.

Smoking DiseasesSmoking can cause heart disease.
(a) The harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke can damage blood vessels.
(b) It also increases the formation of blood clots and fatty deposits called plaque that block the blood vessels.

Smoking causes high blood pressure and heart disease
When blood vessels are blocked, blood stops flowing and oxygen cannot be transported to the heart muscles.
This results in high blood pressure and heart disease.

Fatty deposits block the flow of blood in the artery

Smoking can cause lung cancerTar in cigarette smoke is
poisonous to our cells.
It can cause cells to grow abnormally, resulting in lung cancer.

Smoking can cause bronchitisBronchitis refers to the
inflammation of the airways (e.g. windpipe, bronchi).
Our windpipe and bronchi has tiny hairs (cilia) to sweep dust and harmful substances out of it so that they do not enter our lungs.
© Copyright Star Publishing Pte Ltd
Smoking can cause bronchitisTar in cigarettes causes these
hairs to stick together.
Harmful substances such as bacteria and dust can easily enter the lungs and cause damage to the airways.

Smoking can cause bronchitisWhen this happens, a smoker
develops bronchitis.
This causes the smoker to cough badly and have difficulty breathing.

Passive SmokingPeople who inhale cigarette
smoke from smokers around them may develop lung cancer and other illnesses related to smoking.
This is because they breathe in cigarette smoke containing harmful substances that damage the lungs.
