(“…every breath you take…every move you make…” by..?)

First some review exercises

1. Use this interactive link to review the parts of the human gas exchange system. While you work your way through it define the following terms; ventilation, external respiration, internal respiration and transport.

basic anatomy and function

a) Ventilation:

b) External respiration:

c) Internal Respiration:

d) Transport:

2. The following links take you to some drag and drop labeling activities. Complete the activities to check your understanding. Make text boxes to appropriately label the diagrams.

Drag and drop respiratory system

Drag and drop. Label the red lines below based on the drag and drop activity. (The diagram below looks slightly different than the diagram on the website)

Drag and drop on 4. The Human Respiration System and 5. Respiration Systems

#4. The Human Respiration System (The diagram below is a little different from the diagram on the website. Esophagus will not be labeled below)

#5. Respiratory Systems

|  |another name for trachea |

5. You are to create a chart using the headings shown below to highlight several well known and fairly common respiratory system disorders. Fill in the chart below:

|Name of Disorder |Image/Picture |Causes |Symptoms |Treatment |Prevention |

|bronchitis |  |  |  |  |  |

|common cold |  |  |  |  |  |

|cystic fibrosis |  |  |  |  |  |

|sinus infection |  |  |  |  |  |

|lack of surfactant |  |  |  |  |  |

|meconum aspiration |  |  |  |  |  |

I would suggest that you go start your searching in Google images. You are not required to provide lengthy explanations. This is an opportunity for you to learn about these illnesses.
