Oxygen enters the alveoli in inhaled air and dissolves in the moist lining, diffusing into blood capillaries where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. The oxygen-rich blood leaves the lungs and is pumped by the heart to tissues throughout the body, where oxygen releases from hemoglobin and diffuses into cells as carbon dioxide from cells diffuses back into the blood to be exhaled. Pollutants can harm the respiratory system by being toxic, carcinogenic, or causing conditions like emphysema and bronchitis.

The oxygen dissolves in the moist lining of alveolus and then diffuses into the blood capillaries. Diffusion of oxygen takes place from an area of higher concentration of gas to an area of lower concentration of gas. The blood inside the capillaries contains red blood cells which are rich in a substance called haemoglobin.
Oxygen combine with the haemoglobin in the red blood cells to form oxyhaemoglobin. The blood rich in oxygen then leaves the lungs and is carried by bigger blood vessels to the heart. When the hearts pumps, the oxygenated blood is distributed to all parts of the body. When the blood reaches cells that do not have enough oxygen, the oxyhaemoglobin is broken down and oxygen is released. The oxygen then diffuses through the walls of the capillaries into the cells. At the same time, carbon dioxide from the cells diffuses into the blood capillaries to be carried back to the lungs. Adaptation of the alveoli for efficient gas exchange ALVEOLI Large Surface Area Moist Inner Surface Surrounded by Numerous Blood Capillaries Very Thin Walls THE IMPORTANCE OF A HEALTHY RESPIRATORY SYSTEM 1. The respiratory system will be affected if exposed to particular and excessive pollutants. 2. Pollutants are divided into two types, that is gaseous pollutant and tiny particles. 3. Gaseous pollutant includes: a. carbon monoxide vehicle exhaust b. nitrogen oxide - acidic gas from factories c. hydrocarbon d. sulphur dioxide acidic gas from factories, burning and fossil fuel. 4. Tiny particles includes: a. dust particles b. impurities floating in the atmosphere 5. Most pollutant are toxic and carcinogenic (cigarette smoke). Toxicity is the substances that can harm living cells, while carcinogenic is the substances that can lead to the production of cancerous cells. 6. Nicotine and tar are found in cigarette smoke (cause blacken the lung). 7. Toxic substances are known as toxins, while carcinogenic substances are known as carcinogens (substances that cause cancer). 8. Diseases of the respiratory system include: a. Emphysema of the lung short of breath b. Bronchitis irritation and inflammation c. Lung cancer d. Asthma narrow the airways- difficult to breath
