Chapter 5 Flashcards
aerobic metabolism
It is a cellular process that involves metabolizing glucose and energy to produce minimal wastes. Carbon dioxide and lactic acid are byproducts. It uses oxygen!
anaerobic metabolism
It is cellular process that involves glucose and energy being metabolized without the presence of oxygen, resulting in many wastes. It results in the body being more acidic.
cardiac output (CO)
the amount of blood ejected from the heart in one minute
cell membrane
The cell membrane is a semi-permeable layer that protects the cell from substances entering or leaving it.
cell nucleus
the control center of the cell
perfusion
the constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells by the flow of blood
stroke volume (SV)
the volume of blood ejected from the heart in one contraction
tidal volume
the volume of air moved in one breathing cycle, which consists of one inhalation and one exhalation
dead air space
Space between mouth and alveoli, which is occupied by air that does not actually reach the area of gas exchange.
