Problem Analysis:
The worksheet focuses on the
respiratory system and its functions. It includes two main sections:
1.
Understanding respiration: Questions about the gases involved in breathing and the nature of respiration.
2.
Identifying organs of the respiratory system: Labeling parts of a diagram of the respiratory system.

Solution:
####
Section 1.1: Answer the questions using the words provided in the box.
The words provided are:
oxygen, involuntary, carbon dioxide.
#####
a) What gas does human beings take in when we breathe?
- When we breathe, we inhale
oxygen.
-
Answer: oxygen
#####
b) What gas does human beings eliminate during respiration?
- During respiration, we exhale
carbon dioxide.
-
Answer: carbon dioxide
#####
c) Is respiration a voluntary or involuntary movement?
- Respiration is an
involuntary process, meaning it occurs automatically without conscious effort.
-
Answer: involuntary

####
Section 1.2: Name the organs of the respiratory system.
The diagram shows various parts of the respiratory system, and we need to label them correctly using the provided terms:
- Nose
- Bronchioles
- Larynx
- Trachea or windpipe
- Bronchi
- Pharynx
- Lungs
- Alveolar sacs or alveoli
#####
Step-by-Step Labeling:
1.
Nose: The organ at the top of the diagram where air enters the respiratory system.
-
Label 1: Nose
2.
Pharynx: The area just below the nose and behind the mouth, which connects the nasal cavity to the larynx.
-
Label 2: Pharynx
3.
Larynx: Also known as the voice box, located below the pharynx.
-
Label 3: Larynx
4.
Trachea or windpipe: The tube that carries air from the larynx to the bronchi.
-
Label 4: Trachea or windpipe
5.
Bronchi: The two main branches of the trachea that lead into each lung.
-
Label 5: Bronchi
6.
Lungs: The large organs where gas exchange occurs.
-
Label 6: Lungs
7.
Alveolar sacs or alveoli: Tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
-
Label 7: Alveolar sacs or alveoli
8.
Bronchioles: Smaller tubes branching off from the bronchi, leading to the alveoli.
-
Label a: Bronchioles
