This document describes a model of the human respiratory system using plastic bottles, straws, and balloons. The model represents the chest cavity, bronchi, lungs, and diaphragm. When the diaphragm balloon is pulled down, it contracts and the chest cavity expands, lowering pressure and allowing air to enter the lungs. When the balloon is pushed up, the diaphragm and chest relax, pressure increases, and air exits the lungs. The diaphragm's movement is key to breathing in and out. Puncturing the diaphragm balloon would disable it and prevent normal respiration, potentially causing disease or death.

- 3. GUIDE QUESTIONS: Q4. What does each part of the constructed lung model represent? Plastic bottle- chest cavity; Straws- bronchi; Small balloons inside the plastic bottle- lungs; Big balloon at the bottom of the plastic bottle- diaphragm Q5. What happens as you pull down the balloon at the bottom of the model? As the balloon at the bottom of the model was pulled down, the diaphragm contracts and moves down and the chest cavity expands. There is more space and less pressure inside the lungs. Q6. What happens as you push up the balloon? As the balloon was pushed up, the diaphragm and the chest cavity relax and return to its original size and place. There is now less space and greater pressure inside the lungs.
- 4. Q7. How does the movement of the diaphragm cause the air to go in and out of the lungs? When the diaphragm contracts, the air goes into the lungs or the inhalation process occurs. When the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its original place, the air goes out of the lungs or the exhalation process occurs. Q8. What might happen if you prick the balloon? If we prick the balloon, the diaphragm will not function anymore. Being the major muscle of respiration, the body is dependent on the diaphragm for normal respiratory function. Therefore, we will not be able to perform respiration in our body and when this happens, different diseases and disorders will result, or we can even die.
- 5. CONCLUSION Breathing occurs because of the changes in air pressure between the lungs and the atmosphere. The mechanism of breathing in our body can be represented by the Bottled Balloons model where each part can be compared to the parts of the respiratory system who are involved in the respiration process. The plastic bottle represents the chest cavity, the straws act as the bronchi, the small balloons inside the plastic bottle serves as the lungs and the big balloon at the bottom of the plastic bottle is the diaphragm. As the balloon at the bottom of the model was pulled down or when we breathe in, the diaphragm muscles contract and move down and the chest cavity expands. There is more space and less pressure inside the lungs . …
- 6. As the balloon was pushed up or when we breathe out, the diaphragm and the chest cavity relax and return to its original size and place. There is now less space and greater pressure inside the lungs. The diaphragm is the major muscle of respiration and the body is dependent on it for normal respiratory function. The movement of the diaphragm causes the air to go in and out of the lungs. When the diaphragm contracts, the air goes into the lungs or the inhalation process occurs. When the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its original place, the air goes out of the lungs or the exhalation process occurs. So if we prick the balloon at the bottom of the model, the diaphragm will not function anymore and our body will not be able to perform respiration and when this happens, different diseases and disorders will result, or we can even die.
