2. Function of the Respiratory System The function of the
respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for breathing
in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The most important organ of
the respiratory system are the lungs. The reason why is because
they carry out the exchange of gases as we breathe. In addition as
this process is working our body is provided with blood which lets
the whole cycle function.
3. Components of the Respiratory System Ribcage Intercostal

4. Adaptions 1. Ventilation the rib cage adapts when you inhale
or exhale, as it follows your breathing. 2. Alveoli - The number of
alveoli in the lungs increase to get more gas exchange to occur. 3.
Diaphragm The strength and endurance of the diaphragm improves as
you train them to adapt to what you want them to do. 4. Capillaries
more capillaries are formed in the lungs over time, so that more
blood can flow in and out the lungs. 5. Gas exchange the exchange
of oxygen and carbon dioxide improves as they become larger, this
makes it more efficient for the respiratory system to work
efficiently. 6. Lungs We have two hopefully healthy lungs which
make it more efficient for us to live. 7. Exchange the walls of the
alveoli are thin so the exchange happens quick. 8. Trachea The
trachea adapts to how we are feeling, for example if its infected
it will be swollen or if its healthy it will be clean.
5. Journey of a Oxygen Molecule
6. How does the Volume and Pressure change the lead to the
Ventilation of the Lungs? What ventilation means is the process of
breathing I and out. The pressure change when you inhale changes
because your ribs are going outwards as the diaphragm moves further
down, which lets the ribcage to have more space for its breathing
process. Later on when we exhale the opposite happens the rib cage
becomes smaller as they are more relaxed and there is less air in
them.
7. Circulatory System BY: DANIEL ILLY
8. Function The function of the circulatory system is to
transport materials throughout the entire body. For example it
transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to all the different types
of body cells. After it carries away the wastes such as carbon
dioxide that the body cells produce. This process connects to all
your body cells which is a amazing process.
10. Adaptions 1. Heart rate Your heart adapts to the amount of
sport you do so if you exercise a lot it can pump faster, without
suffering. 2. Blood Cells They travel faster if you exercise
because your muscles are built up and the process because normal.
3. Septum the wall separates the right and left ventricle, it
adapted because it didnt let oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to
mix. 4. Valves They open and close which allows one-way flow to
happen 5. Arteries have a bigger amount of muscle than veins which
makes them thicker, that means that they can stand the pressure
from the blood flow. 6. Right Ventricle It is thin which lets it
easily only pass by the lungs and not around the whole body.
11. The Importance of one-way Flow Our heart pumps oxygenated
and deoxygenated blood throughout the body. The blood flows through
the capillary beds and then get to all the cells in the body.
Later, the deoxygenated bloods takes part. As, the oxygen is
removed from the blood and it starts to flow to the lungs where it
can become healthy again and then it is sent back through the
veins, and then to the heart. This is like a cycle, and it always
has to happen the same so that nothing clogs, as your heart needs
blood and without the one-way flow we would be dead.
