The Respiratory System
• Gas exchange happens in the lungs.
• You have 2 lungs, situated in your upper
thorax / chest
• Here, oxygen and carbon dioxide are
exchanged – oxygen is needed for life and
carbon dioxide is got rid of when we breathe
out.

The Alveoli
The outside of the alveoli is covered with tiny blood
vessels.
Oxygen makes its way into thousands of special air
sacs collectively called the ALVEOLI.

The Alveolus
One of these alveoli is called the ALVEOLUS.
This is where the oxygen is transferred into the blood and carbon dioxide
moves out of the blood.
If all these alveoli
flattened and
spread out onto
the floor, they
would cover an
area the size of a
tennis court!
