Ch 42 Pt 2 Flashcards
4 integrated process of respiration
Ventilation: exchange of air between atmosphere and lungs
Exchange of O2 and CO2 between lungs and blood
Transport of O2 and CO2 in blood
Exchange of O2 and CO2 between blood and cells
Gassed move by
Diffusion (high to low)
Gills
Outfoldings of the body suspended in water
Increased surface area
Relative O2 is water is always ____ than air
Lower
Gills use
Countercurrent exchange
Countercurrent exchange
Ensures that the concentration gradient for O2 movement always favors flow of O2 into the blood
Respiration in insects
Trachea
Trachea
O2/CO2 diffuse faster in air than water
Less energy required
Air delivered directly to body cells
Lungs
Found in some spiders, snails, vertebrates
Integrated within the circulatory system
Which is not a specialized surface for respiration per species
Frogs- trachea
Cilia
Line primary bronchus
Gas exchange occurs in the
Alveoli
Alveoli
O2 diffuses through epithelium and into capillaries
CO2 diffuses from capillaries across epithelium, into air space
Surfactants
Secretions that coat the surface of the alveoli
Changes in volume of the thoracic cavity during breathing
Pressure changes that create air flow
