1
Q

A

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

Q

Why do we need oxygen

A

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.

Q

Alveoli/Airsacks?

A

Gas exchange-oxygen defuses into blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out of it.

Q

What is breathing out called?

A

Breathing out is called exhalation when we exhale I contain waste call the Carbon Dioxide is forced out of the lungs.

Q

What happens to our rib cage when we inhale/exhale

A

When we inhale it lifts up and out and when we exhale it is pulled down and in.

Q

What are alveoli?

A

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

17
Q

What makes the alveolus an efficient exchange surface

A

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

18
Q

What happens when we exercise

A

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

19
Q

Nicotine

A

It is the addictive drug in a cigarette and it is a stimulant

20
Q

Carbon monoxide

A

Stops red blood cells from carrying oxygen around the body

21
Q

Particulates

A

Collect in the lungs and blacken them

22
Q

Harmful effects of smoking on the body

A
Throat cancer
Mouth cancer
Bronchitis
Emphysema
Heart disease
Lung cancer
23
Q

Asthma

A

Asthma is a disease that makes it difficult to breathe. You are always become swollen and the muscles constrict making your airway narrower

24
Q

What triggers asthma

A
Cigarette smoke
 cold air
Pet hair
Housedust
Infections
25
What are the symptoms of asthma
Cough Waze Shortness of breath A feeling of tightness in the chest
26
Inhalers
Blue-relaxes tightened airways | Brown-prevents swelling
27
How does the mucus and the cilia help keep the airway free of dust and bacteria
The mucus makes the dust stick | The cilia moves the mucus up through the trachea
28
What effect does tar have on the cilia
It paralyses them so they can't move
29
What are the bones in your arm called
Ulna Radius Humerus
30
What are the bones in your leg called
Femur | Fibula tibia
31
Gliding joints
Wrist Ankle The bones have a flat surface which can slide over each other to allow movement in one plane
32
Fixed joint
Skull | These bones are joined together and cannot move as an adult
33
Ball and socket joint
Shoulder Hip The joint can move in nearly any direction
34
Hinge joint
``` Knee Elbow Fingers Toes The joint can only move in one direction ```
35
Pivot joint
Neck | This allows the head to nod and turn
36
The skeleton needs to be strong but not to heavy how is this achieved
The bones are made of hollow tubes
37
What does antagonistic pairs mean
It means that when one muscle contracts and shortens the other relaxes to its full length
38
Tendons
Muscles are attached to bend by tendons. They can't stretch if they did the muscle would not be able to move a bone at a joint
39
How don't bones rub together and get hot and painful
Because moving joints are synovial joints
40
Ligaments
These attach bone to bone and help make joints stable
41
Cartilage
A white smooth shiny substance which reduces friction and prevents bone rubbing against bone. Found at the end of bones
42
Synovial fluid
This is secreted by the synovial membrane into the joint cavity. It acts as a shock absorber and helps reduce friction. The synovial membrane keeps the fluid from escaping
