Your lungs deliver oxygen
to your whole body.
our body needs the oxygen in the air
to live. You can live for days without
food or water, but only a few minutes
without air.
Did your rib cage get larger? When you take a
deep breath, the air flows into your lungs. The
air expands your lungs in much the
same way as a balloon expands when
you blow air into it.
air
You have two lungs. They each look
like a squishy, pink sponge.
The respiratory system includes your
mouth and nose. That is the part of
your body that you use to bring air into
your body. Then the air goes down a
tube called a trachea to your lungs.
Inside your lungs are tiny tubes
and sacs called bronchioles
through which air travels when
you inhale and exhale. These
are lined with tiny blood
vessels called capillaries.
Do the math to label the parts of
the respiratory system.
21 - 5 = bronchioles
26 - 8 = trachea
12 + 5 = nostrils
27 - 8 = lungs
As the air travels through your
lungs, oxygen enters the capil-
laries and your blood stream.
Blood with oxygen flows to
your heart where
it is pumped to
other body parts.
