How does Respiratory System Work?
•During inspiration (inhalation), the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract.•During exhalation, these muscles relax. The diaphragm domes upwards.
9
The Alveoli
•The alveoli are moist, thin-walled pockets which are the site of gas exchange.
•A slightly oily surfactant prevents the alveolar walls from collapsing and sticking together.
10
The Gas Circulation
•Recall the interconnection between circulation and the respiratory system.
•Gas exchange at the lungs and in the body cells moves oxygen into cells and carbon dioxide out.
11
What happens when you breath in?
The rib muscles relax.
The diaphragm contracts.
Air leaves the alveoli.
