WALT: Lungs
Respiratory system works with the lungs and is taking fresh air in and leaving stale air out.
We have 2 lungs, the left lung is smaller than the right lung.
Our rib cage protects our lungs, but beneath our lungs is the diaphragm a muscle that helps the lungs inhale and exhale, in the shape of a dome.
The outside of the lungs is pink and squish like a sponge.
Bronchioles are smaller than bronchi they are like little branches and there are 30,00 in both lungs.
Alveoli is what is at the end of the bronchiole a special area with teeny tiny air.
There are approximately 600 million Alveoli in our body and if you stretch it out it would cover a whole tennis court.
