16
Q

How is carbon dioxide excreted

A

It dissolves in tissue fluid and is carried through blood plasma to the lungs to be excreted

17
Q

What is anaerobic respiration

A

Sometimes during intense exercise your body can not provide enough oxygen so it breaks down the glucose without oxygen to release energy

18
Q

Formula of anaerobic respiration

A

Glucose -> lactic acid

19
Q

What does too much lactic acid do

A

Make yourmuscles capramo

20
Q

When you stop exercising hard you continue to pant in order to supply your body with oxygen to break the lactic acid down this is called a

A

Oxygen debt

21
Q

What is breathing

A

When your muscles change the size of your lungs

22
Q

When you inhale your lungs

A

Get bigger

23
Q

When you exhale

A

Your lungs get smaller

24
Q

What does alveoli do and adaptation

A

Provides a larger surface area for absorbing oxygen and has thin walls so that substances can easily diffuse into the blood

25
Q

What colour are red blood cells when they are carrying oxygen and when they are not

A

Bright red

Dull brown

26
Q

Where is mucus made and what does it do

A

Traps dirt dust and bacteria

In the tubes down to ththe lungs

27
Q

What does Cillia do

A

Sweep mucus out of your lungs and into the gullet where it is swallowed

28
