=MODULE 2.6= =I. Topic Title:=

Respiratory System

=II. Topic Description:=

It provides a basic understanding of how the human respiratory system works, its parts and functions, and the role it plays in maintaining homeostasis/chemical equilibrium in the human body

=III. Terminal Objectives:=


 * 1) to define respiration
 * 2) to enumerate the parts of the human respiratory system and relate them with their corresponding functions
 * 3) to explain the process of breathing and gas exchange in the human lungs

=IV. Content Presentation:=

Respiratory System Sub-topics: Respiration is the process by which a body obtains and uses oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide. To know the process involved in respiration click this: [|Respiration] [|Process]
 * 1) Respiration and its Process

To acquaint yourself with the rest of the parts of the human respiratory system and their functions click this: [|Human Respiratory System]

3. The Process of Breathing Breathing is the mechanical part of respiration. To understand the mechanism that controls breathing click this: [|Breathing]

4. Gas Exchange in the Lungs As occurs in all other animals, gases are exchanged within the human body by diffusion where substances move down a concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. To see how gases are exchanged in the human body click this: [|Gas Exchange]
