Breathing N Exchange Part 1 Flashcards
Mechanism of breathing vary among organisms depending on
Habitats n level of organisation
A: lower invertebrates like sponges coelentrates flatforms exchange gases via?
Diffusion over entire body surface
Earthworm breathing consitutes of
Moist cuticle
Insect respiration is by
Tracheal tubes
Gills are vascularised structures which help in ________ respiration
Branchial respiration
Branchial respiration is used by
Aquatic arthropods and molluscs
Lungs are vascularised: t or f
True
Amphians mammals reptiles and birds respire via
Lungs
External nostrils leads to
Nasal chamber via nasal passage
Pharynx—–>. ——-> trachea
Larynx
Opening of pharynx is called n covered by
Glottis , epiglottis
Tracheal is a straight tube extension till_________and divides at ________ to form bronchi
Mid thoracic cavity , 5th thoracic vertebrae
Bronchi forms
2,3 bronchi and bronchioles
Tracheae ,primary secondary Nd tertiary bronchi and initial bronchioles are supported via
Incomplete cartilaginous rings
Thin irregular walled vascularised bag like structures are called
Alveoli
The branching of bronchi bronchioles and alveoli constitute the lung : T or F
True
The outer pleural membrane is in contact with ________ and inner pleural layer is in contact with
Thoracic cavity , lung
External nostrils to terminal bronchioles consitutes
Conducting part
Alveoli and ducts form
Respiratory or exchange part
Features of conducting part ?
- Transport of air
- Clears foreign particles
- Humidified air
- Air to body temp management
Lungs are situated in what chamber
Thoracic cavity , air tight chamber
Thoracic cavity is surrounded dorsally by ____ ventrally by _____ laterally by ______ lower side by
- Vertebral column
- Sternum
- Ribs
- Dome shaped diaphragm
Breathing is also called
Pulmonary ventilation
4 steps of respiration are
- Breathing
- Diffusion across alveoli
- Transport of gases via blood
- Diffusion between cells n tissues
- Utilisation of oxygen for catabolic reactions and release of co2
Breathing involves two stages
Inspiration and expiration
Movement of air in and out is carried by
Pressure gradient between lungs and atmosphere
Inspiration occurs when gradient is
Lungs is at low pressure wrt to atmosphere , negative pressure
Expiration occurs when
Lungs is at high P that atm
For gradients what muscles are used
- Diaphragm
- External intercostal muscles N internal
Inspiration is initiated by
- Diaphragm contracts n V increases antero posterior way
- External intercostal muscles pull the ribs up and increases in dorsp ventral axis
Increase in pulmonary volume causes increase in intra pulmonary pressure : true or false
False (intra decreases)
Relaxation of diaphragm and intercostaluscles causes
Decrease in thoracic volume
We can increase the strength of our muscle contraction by
Abdominal muscles
A healthy human beings breathes
12 to 16 times
Volume of air can be estimated via
Spirometer ( pulmonary functions)
