Why is air
important to
us?
Because ……..Air contains oxygen.
Living things need oxygen to stay alive.
How do we
breath?
Why do we need oxygen to survive?
•All the organs in our body that work together
in our body need oxygen. Oxygen is required
by the body to carry out processes within our
bodies to generate energy to keep us alive.
•All the organ systems that work together in
our body need oxygen to function.
How does the air move
into and out of our body?
How do we get oxygen
into our body?
Air enters our body through
our nose and lungs.
Air moves into and out of our
body through the process of
breathing.

What happens
during breathing?
•Movements of the ribcage and the thin sheet of muscle
below our lungs during breathing allow gaseous exchange
between our body and the surroundings.
What happens during breathing?
•The air we breathe
in is called inhaled
or inspired air.
•Inhaled air contains
more oxygen than

2.4 What Happens to the Oxygen We Breathe In?
What happens to the
oxygen that we
breathe in?
What happens to the oxygen that we breathe in?
•Our body uses the oxygen we breathe in to break down
sugar. When sugar is broken down, energy is produced.
•This process is called respiration.
2.4 What Happens to the Oxygen We Breathe In?
What happens to our
breathing when we exercise?
Why?
•We breathe more rapidly
because our body needs more
energy during exercise and
needs to take in more oxygen to
produce more energy.
