Animal Form/Function - Respiratory system Flashcards
Animals require this for aerobic functions
O2
What happens if cells are not directly exposed to the outside environment?
then some
mechanism must provide gas exchange to internal cells, delivering O2 and removing waste CO2
The movement of gas in and out of the atmposphere
Respiration
This is also used to describe cellular respiration
Respiration
the process of producing ATP within the mitochondria of cells
Cellular respiration
Gas exchange mechanism found in animals
Direct with environment, Gills, Tracheae, Lungs
Are evaginated structures, or outgrowths from the body, that create a large surface area over which gas
exchange occurs.
Gills
Gill cover
Opuculum
Chitin-lined tubes
Tracheae
Oxygen enters (or CO2 exits)
the tracheae through openings called
Spiracles
Are invaginated structures, or cavities within the body of the animal
Lungs
Occurring in many spiders, are stacks of flattened membranes enclosed in an internal chamber
Book lungs
Gas exchange in humans process
Nose, pharynx, larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveolus, Diffusion between alveolar chambers and blood, Bulk flow of O2, Diffusion between blood and cells, Bulk flow of CO2, Bulk flow of air in and out of the lungs, Control of respiration
Contains the voice cords
Larynx
covers the trachea, preventing the entrance of solid and liquid material.
Epiglottis
