Q

In insects what delivers oxygen to body cells

A

Tracheole

23
Q

How does gases move through insects

A

Spiracle to trachea to tracheole

24
Q

Spiracle

A

Opening for air

25
Q

What animals use lungs

A

Amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals

26
Q

How can air enter our bodies

A

Nose or mouth

27
Q

What is the path of air into our bodies

A

Nostril, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole

28
Q

Diaphragm

A

Dome shaped muscle that helps breathing

29
Q

Alveoli

A

Tiny air filled sacs where gas exchange occur in humans

30
Q

Oxygenated blood

A

Higher concentration of o2 than co2

31
Q

Deoxygenated blood

A

Higher in co2 than o2

32
Q

When we breathe in what happens to our thoracic cavity

A

The thoracic cavity increase creates a pressure that pulls airs in lungs

33
Q

What happens when the rib cage when we breathe

A

Rib cage expands and rib muscles contract

34
Q

What happens diaphragm when we breathe

A

Contacts (moves down and becomes flat)

35
Q

What is negative pressure breathing

A

Air is pulled into lungs

36
Q

Negative pressure breathing is exhibited by what and what group doesn’t use negative pressure breathing

A

Reptiles, birds, and mammals but not amphibians (pushed into lungs)

37
Q

When we breathe out what happens to rib cage

A

Rib cage gets smaller an ribs muscles relax

38
Q

What happens to volume of thoracic cavity when breathing out

A

Volume decreases

39
Q

What happens to diaphragm when breathing out

A

It relaxes and moves up (becoming dome shaped)

40
Q

How does oxygen move from the lungs to the rest of the body

A

Co2 and o2 move down their concentration gradient from the regions of higher to lower concentrations

41
Q

Oxygenated blood in the alveoli of the lungs move where

A

From the alveoli of the lungs to the heart from the heart to the rest of the tissue

42
Q

Deoxygenated blood move from the heart to

A

The the alveoli in the lungs

43
Q

Tissue cells have what type of concentrations (o2 and co2)

A

Have lower concentration of o2 and higher in co2

44
Q

What carries the gases around in the blood

A

Hemoglobin

45
Q

Hemoglobin

A

Protein that transport o2 and co2, or carbon monoxide and other gases

46
Q

Each red blood cell has about how many HB molecules

A

250 million

47
Q

1 hemoglobin has how many peptide chains and can transport how many molecules

A

4 and can transport how many molecules of o2

48
Q

Why is carbon monoxide is dangerous to us

A

It binds more strongly to hemoglobin than o2 causing us to no longer making atp and cells can’t survive

49
Q

How do we know when to breathe

A

When major blood vessels signals the medulla obliongota due to changes in pH

50
Q

How does a fetus breathe

A

Human fetus does not breathe with its lungs, it exchanges gases with maternal blood in the placenta

51
Q

What attracts more o2 than adult hemoglobin

A

Fetal hemoglobin

52
Q

At birth what increases in fetal blood

A

Co2 and breathing control center imitate breathing

53
Q

What happens to the lungs when people smoke

A

Destroyed alveoli and reduced surface area for gas exchange
