IMPORTANT POINTS1. THE NOSE FILTERS AND WARMS THE ENTERING

AIR.

2. AIR ENTERS THE NOSE OR MOUTH, GOES DOWN THE TRACHEA AND BRONCHUS, AND ENDS IN THE ALVEOLI.

3. GASES ARE EXCHANGED AT THE ALVEOLI.

4. THE DIAPHRAGM AND RIB MUSCLES WORK TOGETHER TO EXPAND AND CONTRACT THE SIZE OF THE CHEST CAVITY.

5. BREATHING IS THE MECHANICAL PROCESS OF PUMPING AIR INTO AND OUT OF THE LUNGS.

6. THE GAS THAT WE TAKE (INHALE) IS OXYGEN AND THE GAS THAT WE BREATHE OUT (EXHALE) IS CARBON DIOXIDE.

7. THE CHEMICAL PROCESS IN WHICH OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE ARE EXCHANGED BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE AIR AND THE CELLS IS CALLED RESPIRATION.
