__**Parts of Respiratory **__


 * //**__Nasal cavity__:**// ﻿This includes the nose and the area behind it.


 * ===== //**__Pharynx:__**// The throat.  =====
 * ===== //__**Esophagus:**__// This is the flap that closes to cover the trachea. =====
 * ===== //**__Trachea "windpipe":__**// This takes air to the lungs and is kept open by cartilage rings. =====
 * ===== **//__Larynx "voicebox":__// This contains the vocal cords.** =====
 * __//**Bronchi:**//__ the 2 tubes that dived of the trachea also known as //__**bronchial tubes**__//.
 * **//__Bronchioles:__//** these are tiny microscopic tube in the lung [end with **__//alveoli//__**].
 * **//__Alvieoli:__//** tine microscopic structures that fill up with air and are **raped in cappillaries that __exchange O2 and CO2__**__.__
 * __//Diaphragm://__ this is an //**involuntary muscle**// that moves up and down to //**push and pull air into and out of the lungs.**//
 * **__ Lungs: the part of the body that you pick up oxygen from and drop off carbon dioxide and waste ( to get removed from body.) media type="youtube" key="HiT621PrrO0" height="440" width="814"__**

__** Breathing **__ Inhale(Inspiring)- take in air Exhaling(Exspiring)- letting air out. To breath the Diaphragm contracts to pull air in Diaphragm relaxes to push air out of lungs lungs. Air is only 21% oxygen.

Diseases you can get:

 * Lung cancer- is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Smokers have greatest risk of getting lung cancer

**__Symptoms from lung cancer:__**[[image:imagesCAL5R3J6.jpg width="294" height="197" align="right"]]
