A comprehensive 80-slide PPT presentation (with student notes) that covers the anatomy, physiology, and disorders of the respiratory system. Topics include: respiratory system functions, respiratory organs - nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs, alveoli, breathing, inspiration & expiration mechanisms, control and regulation of breathing, respiratory rate, spirometry, respiratory volumes and capacities, partial pressure, gas exchange, transportation, and diseases and disorders of the respiratory system. Also includes 3 pages of student notes (see below).

Designed for high school level biology as well as AP anatomy courses. Perfectly suitable for the Science Olympiad anatomy event at the (B) and (C) levels. Simply pick and choose your level of detail and hide the other slides!

PPT Contents:

Part 1: Structure and Function

• Respiratory system functions (e.g. gas exchange, olfaction, pH regulation)
• Respiratory organs (e.g. nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, lungs, etc.)
• Review of each organ and its functions
• Nasal cavity and olfaction
• Larynx and phonation
• Alveoli structure and function for gas exchange

Part 2: Breathing

• Respiration
• Principles of breathing (changes in pressure, diffusion)
• Breathing pathway
• Mechanism of inspiration and expiration
• Composition of inhaled and exhaled air
• Control of breathing (respiratory control center)
• Regulation of breathing
• Non-breathing air movements (e.g. coughing, sneezing, yawning, etc.)
• Respiratory rate
• Respiratory patterns (e.g. eupnea, dyspnea, hyperventilation, etc.)
• Spirometry
• Respiratory volumes and capacities (e.g. tidal volume, vital capacity, etc.)

Part 3: Gas Exchange and Transportation

• Contents of inhaled vs. exhaled air
• Gas exchange
• Principle of partial pressures (P02, PCO2)
• Gas exchange in the lungs
• O2 transportation in blood (e.g. hemoglobin)
• CO2 transportation in blood (e.g. carbonic acid, bicarbonate ions)
• Carbon dioxide and blood pH
• Circulatory system and transportation
• Gas exchange in body tissues

Part 4: Diseases and Disorders

• Disorders of the respiratory system (e.g. asthma, COPD, emphysema, etc.)
