Respiration Song

To the tune of "Every Breath You Take" by the Police

Lyrics by Brooks Park

Every breath you take

with every snore you wake,

every bond you break

For energy you make

I’ll be respiring too.

Every single day

you breath CO2 away,

So that oxygen may diffuse

for your lungs to use.

You’ll be respiring too.

O can’t you see?

oxygen is good for me,

How my strong heart beats,

to give oxygen my cells need

Every breath you take,

alveoli will make

your surface area fat

capillaries absorb air from that

I’ll be respiring too.

Since I breath, I am lost without a breath

six minutes without air would surely cause my death

I look around and see the whole world respires

because of metabolism and the oxygen it requires

I keep breathin, breathin, breathin, AIR!

O can’t you see,

your lungs should stay clean

stay away from those smokes

unless you wants your lungs broke

I’ll be watching you!

Down in the Kidneys (tune: "Up on the Housetop") Written by: Dr. Kent Van De Graaff
Down in the kidneys much goes on. Urine is created all day long. From the glomeruli it soon goes, Through proximal tubules, where it flows. Henle is the loop it visits next. For specific details, read your text! Distal convolutions pick it up, And transport it to the papillary duct. Papillae drain into renal palaces. The larger ones are called major calyces The renal pelvis collects it all. Next thing you know, it begins to fall. Down the ureters it swiftly goes. Where it next arrives, everybody knows. From the bladder urine will flee Out the urethra when you pee
