Q

diaphragm

A

Sheet of muscle under the lungs. It makes your lungs bigger when it moves down.

21
Q

exhale

A

to breathe out.

22
Q

gas exchange

A

taking carbon dioxide out of the blood and getting oxygen into the blood

23
Q

inhale

A

to breathe in

24
Q

mucus

A

sticky liquid that trap dirt and microbes and helps carry them out of the lungs.

25
trachea
tube that carries air into and out of the lungs. Also called windpipe.
26
breathing
air moving into and out of the lungs.
27
how does gas exchange occur
by diffusion
28
how are the lungs adapted to allow for gas exchange
high surface area large blood supply damp 1 cell thick thin borders
29
aerobic respiration equation
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water
30
Anaerobic respiration equation
glucose → lactic acid (+ energy released)
31
Respiration
Process in which energy is released from our food
32
Lungs
The organ where gas exchange happens
33
The gas we take in enters our
blood
34
the gas is used with ___ in the cells to release ____
sugar, energy
35
functions of skeletons
they support the structure of body and produce blood cells and they protect vital organs.
36
The marrow allows the production of _______
white and red blood cells
37
A joint is formed when
two or more bones are joined. Joints allow movement around a point. E.g fixed joints.
38
Hinge joint
works like a lever allows movement of muscles antagonistic muscles
39
B&S
rotate 360 allow a lot of flexibility
40
pivot joints
rotate around eachother 360
41
tendons
stiff which allows muscle to pull up on bone | have to be tough to hole powerful muscles to strong bones
42
ligaments
they are stretchy and elastic connect bone to bone if stiff they would snap everytime we bent a joint
43
cartilage
strong and spongey found around the end of a joint when one has arthritis, the end of the joints grind together when moved
44
synovial fluid
found in the space between the ends of bones in a joint acts as lubricant essential when doing exercise because a lot of pressure is put throughout the joint.
45
antagonistic muscles
muscles that work in opposite ways together eg bicep tricep quadracep hamstringu
46
co2 from capillaries
move to alveoli
47
respiratory system
organs and tissues help you breathe | carry out waste gases like co2
48
the muscles between the ribs ___. This causes your ribcage to ____ and out the heart. When the diaphragm muscles contract, it lowers and flattens. this causes the volume inside the chest to _____. Therefore the pressure ____. Air moves into your chest.
contract,lift up, increase, decreases
