Form To Function Respiration

Question 1

What is the most common respiration among amphibians?

Answer 1

Cutaneous Respiration

Question 2

What are the 4 types of respiration found among amphibians?

Answer 2

Buccopharyngeal Respiration
Cutaneous Respiration
Lungs
Gills

Question 3

When would you find an amphibian with Gills?

Answer 3

The Larval stage (all amphibians have them in their larval stage)

Question 4

2 pros and 2 cons of cutaneous respiration

Answer 4

Pros: Energy conservation, Able to breath in and out of water

Cons: Vulnerability, Restricted to moist environments

Question 5

What is the most common form of respiration among reptiles?

Answer 5

Lungs (Bidirectional negative pressure)

Question 6

List the four tetrapod classes in order of increasing lung complexity

Answer 6

Least: Amphibian, Reptiles, Bird-Mammal

Question 7

What 4 types of respiration can reptiles use?

Answer 7

Lungs
Cutaneous Respiration (Rare)
Pharyngeal Respiration (Rare)
Cloacal Respiration

Question 8

What creates the negative pressure in aves respiratory systems?
How many are there?

Answer 8

Air Sacs (9)

Question 9

How does uni-directional breathing work in Aves?

Answer 9

Both air sacs expand, pulling air from the outside into the posterior air sacs. The air in the lungs is pulled into the anterior air sacs.

Both air sacs contract, the posterior air sacs push air into the lungs. The anterior air sacs push air out the trachea and out of the body

Question 10

What decreases the efficiency of bidirectional breathing in mammals?

Answer 10

The lungs never get rid of all the air inside them, known as stale air, which is deoxygenated. When mammals breath in, the fresh air mixes with the stale air. The fresh and stale air mixture lowers the oxygen content of the air.
