Respiratory System

                           Respiratory System

Function:Your respiratory system 

collects and sends oxygen to your body.It also helps you breathe in oxygen rich air breathing out carbon dioxide - a waste gas.

Organs:Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs, and Diaphragm.

What other system: Circulatory system. It works by supplying  oxygen in the lungs to be carried throughout tissues. 

  • Fun Facts:

    •  The lungs are the main part of the respiratory system.

      • Red blood cells pick up oxygen and carry oxygen to all your other cells in your body.

        • The goal of breathing is to deliver oxygen to your body and take away carbon dioxide.

          • The red blood cells take carbon dioxide to your lungs and you breathe it out when you exhale.

            • The left lung is slightly smaller than the right lung in order to fit your heart.

This is a picture of our Charity Fair Project Summary: What I learned was about our Carbon Footprint. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person or a group.  Backward-Looking: To be honest, I really didn't know much about a Carbon Footprint. It wasn't until my teacher explained to us what a carbon footprint was until I really started to understand. If my teacher didn't explain what a carbon footprint was, and someone came up to me and asked, "I know what a carbon footprint is. Do you?" Then I'd probably be all like, "What on earth is a carbon footprint?" Inward-Looking: I thought that the carbon footprint was a bit too complicated for me, but I managed it with the help of my other teammates. I don't really understand why I would dislike some parts because it seemed fine to me.   Outward-Looking:  The grade I would give myself is an ...
