Breathing And Movement Flashcards
(42 cards)
Why do we have to breathe
We have to breathe because all the cells in our body needs energy to stay alive. We get energy out of our food in respiration
Why do we need oxygen
Oxygen is needed to break down glucose and this gives out energy for cells to use. you get oxygen into your body by breathing in.
Nasal cavity?
Warms, tests and moistens the air.
Larynx?
Voice box-contains vocal chords which enables us to speak.
Windpipe/trachea?
Directs air into and out of the lungs has C-shaped cartilage disks to prevent collapse.
Bronchitis/Bronchioles?
Bronchitis and to the lungs and divide into many smaller bronchioles.
Diaphragm?
Muscular sheet separating thorax and the rest of the body.
Alveoli/Airsacks?
Gas exchange-oxygen defuses into blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out of it.
What is breathing in called?
Breathing in is called inhalation when we inhale I containing oxygen is forced into the lungs.
What is breathing out called?
Breathing out is called exhalation when we exhale I contain waste call the Carbon Dioxide is forced out of the lungs.
What is ventilation?
Lungs are ventilated when we breathe this make sure that they work effectively.
What happens to our rib cage when we inhale/exhale
When we inhale it lifts up and out and when we exhale it is pulled down and in.
What happens to the diaphragm when we inhale/exhale
When we inhale it contracts and flattens and when we exhale it relaxes and Domes
What happens to the volume of the thorax when we inhale/exhale
When we inhale the volume increases and when we exhale the volume decreases
What happens to the pressure when we inhale/Exhale
When we inhale the pressure decreases and when we exhale the pressure increases
What are alveoli?
The alveolus are found at the end of the bronchioles. They are tiny air sacs which have a wall of cells just one cell thick
What makes the alveolus an efficient exchange surface
They have a large surface area lots of spherical alveoli provides a very large surface for gas exchange and thin walls of alveoli and the capillaries are one cell thick so gases diffused very quickly
What happens when we exercise
We breathe faster and more deeply. This is because our muscle cells are contracting more and require more energy from respiration. More oxygen and glucose need to be absorbed into the blood. More carbon dioxide is is made as a waste product and it needs to be removed from the blood via the alveoli
Nicotine
It is the addictive drug in a cigarette and it is a stimulant
Carbon monoxide
Stops red blood cells from carrying oxygen around the body
Particulates
Collect in the lungs and blacken them
Harmful effects of smoking on the body
Throat cancer Mouth cancer Bronchitis Emphysema Heart disease Lung cancer
Asthma
Asthma is a disease that makes it difficult to breathe. You are always become swollen and the muscles constrict making your airway narrower
What triggers asthma
Cigarette smoke cold air Pet hair Housedust Infections
