BIO TEST #4 Flashcards
what is internal respiration?
Process of tissue respiration, its used in the blood and body cells and the gas exchange site is the capillaries and cells
what is external respiration
breathing and exchange of gases, it exchanges gas in the atmosphere and the blood. the gas exchange site are the lungs
what is the difference between external and internal respiration
internal is what’s going on inside and external is what’s going on outside
cellular respiration
process of producing energy, occurs in mitochondria
cellular respiration formula
C6H12C6+O2=6H2O+CO2+ATP
three functions of nasal cavity
filters, warms up, and moistens the air
Alveoli
-branches off of the bronchioles
- sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place
Inhalation
-ribs move up and out
-the diaphragm moves down
-the intercostal muscles contract
-air flows into the lungs
Exhalation
- ribs move down and in
-diaphragm moves up
-intercostal muscles relax
-gases exit the lungs
vital capacity
maximum amount of air that you can inhale and exhale
why is breathing through your nose better than breathing through your mouth?
because you nose filters what goes in your body and your mouth does not
what happens when you breath in
- diaphragm moves down
-intercostal muscles contract
what happens when you breath out
- diaphragm moves up
-intercostal muscles relax
where is sound produced
In your vocal cords located in the larynx
inspiration
-causes an increase in volume
-low pressure inside the chest
Expiration
-decrease in volume
-high pressure inside the chest
tidal volume
the amount of air that you normally inhale and exhale
Inspiratory reserve volume
the maximum volume of air that can inhaled after exhaling normally
exploratory reserve volume
the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after inhaling normally
