Q

How is the oxygen content of inhaled/ exhaled air tested? Why?

A

With a burning splint. This is because a glowing splint requires a large amount of oxygen to relight, but both inhaled air and exhaled air do not have enough oxygen to relight a glowing splint.

Q

How is the water vapour content of inhaled/ exhaled air tested?

A

With dry cobalt chloride paper.

28
Q

Inhaled air contains _____________ water vapour than exhaled air. Why?

A

less; this is because exhaled air is saturated with water vapour, which comes from the moist surface of air sacs and the mouth cavity.

29
Q

The temperature of inhaled air is ____________ than that of exhaled air.

A

lower

30
Q

Why can’t exhaled air be as warm as our body temperature?

A

This is because heat is continuously lost to the environment.

31
Q

Humans have a ____________________________________ for gas exchange.

A

breathing system

32
Q

What is the importance of gas exchange in the human body?
It allows our body cells to have…, so that….
At the same time,…

A

a continuous supply of oxygen for respiration, energy stored in food can be released for use by the body; carbon dioxide produced during respiration will not build up and it will be removed from the body

33
Q

Name the 9 main parts of the human breathing system.

A

nasal cavity, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, air sac, intercostal muscle, rib, lung, diaphragm

34
Q

State the pathway of air flowing through the breathing system.

A

nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, air sacs

35
Q

What is the shape of the cartilage in the trachea? Why?

A

It is c-shaped.
It reinforces the front and sides of the trachea to prevent it from collapsing and blocking the airway. the open ends also allows the trachea to collapse slightly to allow food to pass down the oesophagus.

36
Q

Please describe the colour and texture of a pig lung.

A

pink, soft and spongey

37
Q

Is the trachea hard or soft?

A

hard

38
Q

When air is pumped into lungs, ___________________________________________________.

A

the volume of the lungs increases

39
Q

Why do lungs float?

A

This is because there are many air sacs, which are filled with air, in the lungs, and it makes the lung tissue less dense than water

40
Q

Where does gas exchange in humans take place?

A

At our lungs/ air sacs

41
Q

Inside the lungs, the air sacs are surrounded by _______________________.

A

capillaries

42
Q

What are capillaries?

A

Small blood vessels.

43
Q

Gas exchange takes place between ______________________________ and the ______________________________.

A

air in the air sacs, blood in the surrounding capillaries

44
Q

Oxygen passes from the air sacs, through the ______________________________, into the ______________________________. The blood then _________________________________________________________.

A

thin walls of the air sac, blood capillaries, carries the oxygen to the body cells for respiration

45
Q

_________________________ is produced during respiration. It is carried by ___________________________________. It passes from the ______________ into the _________________; then it is breathed out.

A

Carbon dioxide, blood flowing to the lungs, blood, air sacs

46
Q

Blood from body cells contain a _________________________________ (___%) after ____________________, and a _________________________________ (___%) after ____________________.

A

high carbon dioxide contents, 16, concentration, low oxygen content, 4, diffusion

47
Q

Blood flowing to body cells contain a _________________________________ (___%) and a _________________________________ (___%).

A

high oxygen content, 21, low carbon dioxide content, 0.03

48
Q

What are the 4 requirements for efficient gas exchange?

A
  • large number of air sacs, which provides a large surface area for gas exchange by diffusion
  • the wall of the air sac is only one-cell thick, which provides a short distance for diffusion of gases
  • the air sacs are surrounded by blood capillaries, which ensures a rapid transport of gases
  • the inner wall of the air sac is moist, which allows oxygen to dissolve in the fluid for diffusion
49
Q

In a healthy person, the airway all along the ______________________, ________________, ________________ and some ____________________ ____________________ are lined with _____________________________ and ___________________________.

A

nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, larger bronchioles, mucus-producing cells, ciliated cells

50
Q

What is the use of the mucus produced by mucus-producing cells?

A

It traps dust particles and bacteria entering the breathing system.

51
Q

What is found on the surfaces of ciliated cells?

A

Tiny hair-like cilia

52
Q

What is the function of cilium?

A

They move back and forth to sweep out the mucus in which the dust particles and bacteria are trapped.

53
Q

Inside the airway of a smoker, the ________ in cigarette smoke causes ______________________________________, and also _______________________________________.

A

tar, the cilia to stick together, increases mucus production

54
Q

Why is tar found in the lungs of a smoker?

A

This is because it is deposited there when smokers breathe in cigarette smoke.

55
Q

What problem is caused when mucus production is increased?

  • It builds…
  • It is…
  • The mucus…
A

It builds up in the airway, making the airway narrower. It is more difficult for air to pass into and out of the lungs.
The mucus may also block the air sacs, making gas exchange even more difficult

56
Q

Cigarette smoke contains many harmful substances, such as ________, ______________ and __________________________________.

A

tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide

57
Q

What is tar?

A

It is a brown sticky substance.

58
Q

-
-

A

causes lung cancer
causes coughs and respiratory diseases, eg bronchitis
stains teeth and nails to become yellowish

59
Q

What is nicotine?

A

It is an oily liquid.

60
Q

What are the harmful effects of nicotine?

A

causes addiction

increases heart rate and blood pressure, leading to heart diseases in the long term

61
Q

What is carbon monoxide?

A

It is a colourless, odourless and toxic gas

62
Q

-

A

reduces the oxygen content in blood

the heart needs to beat faster to provide enough oxygen to body cells, leading to heart diseases in the long term

63
Q

Why does carbon monoxide reduce the oxygen content in blood?

A

It sticks to red blood cells, and is not removed, which means that there is less space for the blood cells to carry oxygen.

64
Q

Which substance in cigarettes is found to be the main cause of lung cancer?

A

Tar.

65
Q

How many harmful substances are there in a cigarette?

A

Over 4000.

66
Q

Name two diseases that may be caused by long term smoking.

A

Chronic bronchitis (bronchi and bronchioles inflamed, too much mucus) and Emphysema (walls of the air sacs are damaged, making gas exchange less effective as the surfaces area for gas exchange is reduced)
