 * Place your team Names at the top. **
 * In logical order complete all of the research points required for your body system.[[file:Body System research3 wiki.doc]] **

First place all the information, pictures and videos you might use on your page here.

Second, build your glog in glogster by summarizing the information, deciding which pictures and videos are most helpful, and then designing an aesthetically engaging glog.

Finally delete the information on this page, except for your names, and then embed your glog.


 * __Major Functions:Jennifer Neely__**

Epiglottis- close over the opening to the respiratory tract as you swallow preventing food from entering. Jennifer Neely Nasal cavity- has the concitions the air to be recived by the other areas of the respiratory tract.

Mouth- plays a important role in speech 9s part of the vocal apparatus.

Thyroild cartilage- forms the bulk of the anterior wall serves to protect the vocal cords.

Pharynx (thoat)- a air way passage.

trachea (windpipe)- is the airway through which respiratory air passeage in organism.

Left Lung- Brings in oxygen.

Pleura- is the function of the lungs during resperiration.

Bronchioles (small airways)-

Alveoil (air sacrs)- has a form of hollow cavity.

Right Lung- divided into three lobes.

Bronchial tubes- a passage of airway in the respiratory tract that conducts air. Jennifer Neely 1. the lung is the most important organ in the human body. 2. the breathing rate is in woman and children are faster then men 3. when you yawn your body gets more oxygen. 4. Most people in North America die from lung canser.
 * __4 intersting facts about the respiratory system: Jennifer Neely__**

Trachea- is a transport for organism lungs- is a system for breathing diaphragm- is a mechanical device like a camura epiglottis- is a flap of cartilage that covers the windpipe larynx- a cartiagnous structure at the top of the traches vocal cords- are composed of twin infoldings of mucous membrane across the larynx Everything is working together for us to breathe.
 * __Elizabeth Orfe: explaining major facts__**

The breathing process: - **Your diaphragm helps you to beathe. (The diaphagm is a dome-shaped muscle under your rib cage) Other muscles in your chest and abdominals help you to breathe too. These muscles change pressure in and out as you breathe. When the diaphragm pulls down, the lungs expand. The lungs get bigger with air and pushes the diaphragm down. It also lowers internal air pressure.
 * __KRISTINA SWIDER AND TAYLOR HARRIS__**

Outside of your body, the air pressure is greater and you suck in air when you inhale. The air then expands your lungs like two balloons being blown up. When your diaphragm relaxes, it moves up and down and the cavity gets smaller.. Your muscles will then squeeze your rib cage and your lungs begin to collapse as the air gets pushed up as you exhale.**


 * We do not think this is involed with robins injury because he is consious and could breathe pretty well, even while bearing through excruciating pain. In the phone call homer did say he was consious, but he did stop screaming, we honestly think that this was just from shock, we are pretty sure that no major damage was done to the respiratory system what so ever. We also think that the kidney was damaged because of the blood robin was peeing. **
