that serves as
passageway of air
into the lungs.

bronchioles
o These are the
hairlike tubes that
connect to alveoli.
alveoli
o These are
airsacs that
allow gas
exchange in the

9. It is also known as windpipe. It is an empty tube
that serves as passageway of air into the lungs.

Guide Questions:
1. What does each part of the constructed lung
model represent?
2. What happens as you pull down the balloon at
the bottom of the model?
3. What happens as you push up the balloon?
4. How does the movement of the diaphragm
cause the air to go in and out of the lungs?
5. What might happen if you prick the balloon?
Guide Questions:
1. What
does each part of the constructed lung
model represent?
Answer: 2-liter plastic bottle = chest cavity
Two straws = bronchi
Two balloons = lungs
Larger balloon = diaphragm
Guide Questions:
2. What happens as you pull down the balloon
at the bottom of the model?
Answer: The two balloons expand
Explanation: The air pressure inside the bottle
is lowered by increasing the space inside the
bottle. The outside air then enters through the
tube, which makes the two balloons inside the
bottle 'chest' expand.
Guide Questions:
3. What happens as you push up the balloon?
Answer: The two balloons loosen up and return to
their original size.
Detailed Explanation: The air pressure inside the
bottle is increased by decreasing the space inside
the bottle. The inside air then exits through the
tube, which makes the two balloons inside the
bottle return to their original size.
Guide Questions:
4. How does the movement of the diaphragm
cause the air to go in and out of the lungs?
Answer: The movement of the diaphragm
affects the air pressure inside the chest cavity by
either decreasing or increasing the space, thus
allowing air to go in and out of the lungs.
Guide Questions:
5. What might happen if you prick the balloon?
Answer: If one of the balloons is pricked, it will
not inflate anymore because the air will escape.
