17
Q

What great vets the lungs a large surface area

A

The alveoli

18
Q

Why do lungs have a large surface area

A

So that oxygen can quickly diffuse from the air inside the lungs into the blood contained in capillaries

19
Q

What makes it easy for oxygen to diffuse into blood in the capillaries

A

The walls of the alveoli are only one cell thick

20
Q

Once oxygen has diffused into the blood, how is it carried round

A

Carried round by red blood cells to capillaries around the body

21
Q

What leaks out of the capillaries

A

Tissue fluid

22
Q

What does tissue fluid contain

A

Oxygen and glucose

23
Q

What diffuses out of the blood in the lungs

A

The dissolved carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the air in the lungs

24
Q

What do we breathe out more

A

Carbon dioxide

25
Q

Do we breathe in or breathe out more carbon dioxide

A

Out more

26
Q

What is done to the carbon dioxide to the lungs

A

Excerted

27
Q

What is gas exchange

A

Oxygen diffusing into the blood and carbon dioxide diffusing out of the blood

28
Q

Composition of inhaled air - nitrogen gas

A

78%

29
Q

Composition of exhaled air- nitrogen gas

A

78%

30
Q

Composition of inhaled air - oxygen gas

A

21%

31
Q

Composition of exhaled air - oxygen gas

A

16%

32
Q

Composition of inhaled air- carbon dioxide

A

0.03 %

33
Q

Composition of exhaled air- carbon dioxide gas

A

4%

34
Q

Composition of inhaled air - water vapour

A

Variable

35
Q

Composition of exhaled air - water vapour

A

More

36
Q

What happens when you exercise

A

Breathing rate and pulse rate increase

37
Q

why does your breathing a pulse rate increase when you exercise

A

because your cells need more oxygen and glucose for respiration

38
Q

what happens in emphysema (cant get enough oxygen)

A

feel short of breath and tired.

39
Q

what happens if too little oxygen gets to cells

A

the cells cannot release energy from food so they die

40
Q

how under water organisms breathe

A

gills take oxygen out of the water. the oxygen from the water diffuses into the leaves of underwater plants.
