Q

What is gas exchange?

Q

What are the qualities of alveoli and capillaries that make respiration so easy?

A

Big surface area to allow more oxygen to pass through. Thin walls so oxygen has less distance to travel so that respiration can happen quicker.

Q

What are the 4 different parts of the heart?

A

Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle - (atrium at the top)

16
Q

What are the parts of the lungs?

A

Bronchus, bronchioles, diaphragm, rib cage, alveoli, trachea

17
Q

What does the diaphragm do?

A

It is a muscle that helps us breathe. When we inhale, the diaphragm uncurves allowing the lungs to expand with air

18
Q

How does the heart help respiration?

A

The heart gives the red blood cells a push (energy) to continue going around the whole body

19
Q

What happens in the circulatory system?

A

Blood with high oxygen and low CO2 gets pumped through the left side of the heart to all the cells in the body. The cells use the oxygen for respiration and get carried to the right side of the heart (low oxygen more CO2) to be pumped back to the lungs to pick up more oxygen

20
Q

What are veins?

A

Have valves to stop the blood going backwards. Takes the blood to the heart

21
Q

What are arteries?

A

They have thick walls to help contain the high pressure of the blood. Take blood away from the heart

22
Q

What are capillaries?

A

Tiny blood vessels. They can carry blood away or to the heart

23
Q

How do we get rid of the waste products in respiration?

A

Water sometimes gets out of the body as urine but water and carbon dioxide both get breathed out during gas exchange

24
Q

What is Mrs Gren?

A

Movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excrete, nutrition

25
Q

What is anaerobic respiration?

A

Where there isn’t enough oxygen for aerobic respiration since our heart and breathing rate can only reach a certain point

26
Q

Why do our our heart and breathing rate increase when we exercise?

A

Because our cells need more energy. For our cells to get energy they need oxygen and glucose for respiration. By increasing our breathing rate, we can take in more oxygen. By increasing our heart rate, more cells can be respired quicker.

27
Q

Describe the energy we get in respiration

A

It is released as heat but used as kinetic

28
Q

What is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?

A

Glucose —> (energy) + lactic acid

29
Q

What is the symbol equation for anaerobic respiration?

A

C6H12O6 —> 2C3H6O3

30
Q

What are the disadvantages of anaerobic respiration?

A

Lactic acid causes cramps and pain in the muscles

31
Q

How do we get rid of lactic acid?

A

Oxygen breaks it down into carbon dioxide and water. We get it by panting and breathing more heavily
