Slide 5

How we breathe 1.

1. The lungs are protected by the ribcage.

2. Air enters our lungs via the trachea or wind pipe.

3. When the air enters our lungs,the muscle called the diaphragm goes downwards.

11. When we breathe in ,air passes to the tubes leading to the air sacs.

12. These are next to blood vessels called capillaries.

13. Red blood cells pick up oxygen from the sacs when we breathe in.

14. They release carbon dioxide back to the sacs when we breathe out.

Slide 8

How we breathe 4.

1. Your windpipe and other air passages are lined with a sticky substance.

2. This is called MUCUS.

3. This traps dirt and germs.

4. Tiny hairs sweep the dirty mucus up your throat where it is swallowed.

Slide 9

1. If we blow breathed air into lime water,the lime water turns milky.

2. This is because breathed air contains carbon dioxide.

3. Unbreathed air will not affect the lime water.

4. Breathed air contains more carbon dioxide than unbreathed air.
