25
why do lungs help with gas exchange
- large surface area - thin walls - good ventilation with air - good blood supply
26
what do the ribs do?
they protect the internal organs such as the lungs
27
what do the intercostal muscles do
they control the movement causing inhalation and exhalation
28
what does the diaphragm do
they help change the volume of the thorax to allow inhalation and exhalation
29
what does the trachea do
its the windpipe that connects the mouth and the nose to the lungs
30
what does the larynx do
its the voice box to be able to make sound
31
what do the bronchi (pl) do
they're the large tubes branching off the trachea with one bronchus (sin) for each lung
32
what do the bronchioles do
they connect the bronchi to the alveoli
33
what do the alveoli do
they're tiny air sacks where gas exchange takes place
34
what does the pleural cavity do
they are the fluid filled space between the pleural membranes which reduces friction and allow the lungs to move freely
35
what is the passage down to the lungs lined with
cilia
36
what do cilia do?
they have tiny hairs on the end of them that beat and push the mucus up towards the passages towards the nose and throat where it can be removed
37
what type of intercostal muscles are there
internal and external
38
what happens to the diaphragm during inhalation
it contracts and flattens
39
what happens to the external set of intercostal muscles during inhalation
they contract to pull the ribs up and out
40
what happens to the volume of the thorax during inhalation
the volume increases
41
what happens to the air pressure during inhalation
the air pressure decreases
42
what happens to the diaphragm during exhalation
it relaxes and moves upwards in a dome shape
43
what happens to the external set of intercostal muscles during exhalation
they relax so the ribs drop down and in
44
what happens to the volume of the thorax during exhalation
the volume decreases
45
what happens to the air pressure during exhalation
there's an increase in air pressure
46
how much oxygen is in inspired air
21%
47
how much oxygen is expired air
16%
48
how much carbon dioxide is in inspired air
0.04%
49
how much carbon dioxide is in expired air
4%
50
how much nitrogen is in inspired air
78%
51
how much nitrogen is in expired air
78%
52
what do the rounded alveolar sacks help increase
surface area to volume ratio
53
how many cells thick are the capillaries and the alveoli
one cell thick
54
what does the layer of moisture on the surface of the alveoli help with
the diffusion as gases dissolve
55
what are the chemicals in cigarettes?
tar which is a carcinogen nicotine which is an addictive substance and carbon monoxide which reduces the capacity of blood to carry oxygen
56
what does carbon monoxide do specifically biologically in your lungs
- it binds irreversibly to hemoglobin - it puts strain on the circulatory system to pump blood faster around the body (increases the risk of coronary heart disease and strokes)
57
what does tar do specific biologically in your lungs
- increases the chances of cancerous cells developing - it contributes to COPD which is when chronic bronchitis and emphysema occur together - it blocks the alveoli
58
what is different for unicellular in diffusion
they don't need specialist exchange surfaces or transport system because diffusion, osmosis, and active transport happen through the cell membrane at a fast enough rate
59
why do unicellular organisms not need specialist exchange surfaces for diffusion
they have very large surface are in comparison to volume
60
why do multicellular organisms need specialist exchange surfaces for diffusion
they have a small surface area compared to their volume
61
what are examples of exchange surfaces in animals
- lungs and alveoli - small intestine and villi
62
what is an example of a transport system in animals
blood aqnd circulatory system
63
what are examples of exchange surfaces in plants
- roots and root hair cells - leaves
64
what are examples of a transport system in plants
- xylem (water and minerals from roots to shoots ) - phloem (sugar and amino acids to where they are needed)
65
what are the components of blood
- red blood cells - platelets - white blood cells - plasma
66
what is over half of the blood made up of 55%
plasma
67
what makes up 45% of the blood
red blood cells
68
what is less than 1% of the blood made up of
white blood cells and platelets
69
what is the structure of a red blood cell
- biconcave structure - no nucleus - a lot of protein hemoglobin
70
what is the structure of a white blood cell
- large cells - big nucleus - different types have different function and shapes
71
what is the structure of platelets
fragment of cells
72
what is the structure of plasma
straw colored liquid
73
why is plasma important in the transportation of carbon dioxide?
it's the waste product of respiration and it is dissolved in plasma as hydrocarbonate ions and transported from respiring cells to the lungs
74
why is plasma important in the transportation of digested foods and minerals ?
they are dissolved particles absorbed from the small intestine and delivered to requiring cells around the body
75
why is plasma important in the transportation of urea?
it is the waste substance produced in the breakdown of protein by the liver it is dissolved in the plasma and transported to the kidneys
76
why is plasma important in the transportation of hormones?
they are the chemical messengers and the are transported to the target tissues / organs
77
why is plasma important in the transportation of heat energy?
it is an exothermic reaction released in respiration and it is transported to the cooler parts of the body or to the skin where heat can be lost
78
what are red blood cells adapted as to carry oxygen
- full of hemoglobin which is a protein that binds to oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin - they have no nucleus which allows for more space - biconcave disc gives them a large surface area to volume ratio to maximise diffusion in and out
