Respiration
Respiration
Why do we breathe?
The cells in
your body need a continuous supply of oxygen to burn up the food in the blood.
They get their oxygen from the air you breathe in. Without oxygen, your body
cells dieand the brain cells die the quickest of all. If you stopped breathing
for very long, you would soon lose consciousness. Your brain would be damaged
and ultimately you would die.
What do you breathe out?
You breathe
out fhe air you breathe in, minus a little less Oxygen. But if also contains a
little waste carbon dioxide brought to the lungs from your body cells in the
blood.
How does oxygen get to each cell of the body?
Made up of
the heart, blood and blood vessels, the circulatory system is your body's
delivery system. With each heartbeat, blood is sent throughout our bodies, Carrying
Oxygen and nutrients to all of our cells.
A Blood vessels
Arteries
rich in oxygen carry bright red blood. Veins which return carbon dioxide to the
lungs are bluer.
How does your body get oxygen?
Every fime
you breathe in air through your nose or mouth, the air rushes down your wind
pipe info your lungs. The lungs are spongy bags inside your chest. They are
filled with millions of minute branching airways. At the end of each airway is
an air Sac or alveolus with walls so thin that oxygen can seep through into the
tiny blood vessels wrapped around it.
Why has the heart got two sides?
Your heart
has two sides because your body has two blood circulations pulmonary
circulation and Systemic crculation In pulmonary circulation, the left side of
the heart pumps blood through the lungs fo pick up Oxygen, and takes it to the
right side of the heart. In systemic circulation, the right side pumps
oxygen-rich blood oround the bodyand takes it bock to the left of the heart
How does your heart pump?
Your heart
has walls of muscle which contract automatically once a second or more. As they
contract, they squeeze blood into the blood vesselsThe entrances of each of the
heart's two pumping chambers or ventricles have little flaps, or valves, to
ensure blood can only enter and leave one way.
Why is blood red?
Blood
contains cells called red blood cells. These cells Cary oxygen. They contain a
remarkable substance Called haemoglobin. This haemoglobin glows bright red when
it is carying Oxygen but fades to dull purple when it loses oxygen

This figure
shows the heart sliced in half to reveal its two halves. Each half has two
chambersan atrium where blood builds up and a ventricle or pumping chamber.
