StructureStrukturFunctionFungsi
Nasal cavityRongga hidungFilters, warms, humidifies airMenapis, memanaskan, melembapkan udara
TracheaTrakeaAir passage with C-shaped cartilageLaluan udara dengan cincin rawan C
Bronchi → BronchiolesBronkus → BronkiolBranched air tubesTiub udara bercabang
AlveoliAlveolusGas exchange (millions, thin walls)Pertukaran gas (berjuta-juta, dinding nipis)
DiaphragmDiafragmaMain breathing muscleOtot pernafasan utama
💡 Alveoli Adaptations:💡 Penyesuaian Alveolus: Thin walls (1 cell thick), large surface area, moist surface, rich blood supplyDinding nipis (setebal satu sel), luas permukaan besar, permukaan lembap, bekalan darah yang banyak

Inhalation vs Exhalation Mechanism Inhalation (Breathe In) Lungs EXPAND Diaphragm CONTRACTS (flattens) ↑ Ribcage moves UP & OUT Air pressure in lungs ↓ Exhalation (Breathe Out) Lungs COMPRESS Diaphragm RELAXES (domes) ↓ Ribcage moves DOWN & IN Air pressure in lungs ↑
Gas Exchange at Alveolus Alveolus (high O2, low CO2) Capillary (low O2, high CO2) O2 CO2 Adaptations Thin walls Moist surface Large surface area Rich blood supply Short diffusion path SPM: Describe adaptations of alveolus for gas exchange
Effects of Smoking on Lungs Healthy Lung Large alveolar surface area Efficient gas exchange Smoker's Lung Tar blocks alveoli Reduced gas exchange

🇲🇾 Malaysian ContextKonteks Malaysia

Haze from forest fires remains a health issue in Malaysia. Understanding respiration helps us understand why pollution affects our lungs!Jerebu daripada kebakaran hutan masih menjadi isu kesihatan di Malaysia. Memahami respirasi membantu kita memahami mengapa pencemaran menjejaskan paru-paru kita!
