Human Anatomy Flashcards
What are the names of the 2 types of respiration
Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic Respiration
Where does gas exchange take place
In the alveoli
What type of respiration realeases the most energy
Aerobic Respiration
What if the products of Anaerobic Respiration
Lactic Acid 2C3H6O3 (and energy)
What are the products of Aerobic Respirations
Carbon Dioxide 6CO2 Water 6H2O (and energy)
Which type of respiration uses oxygen
Aerobic Respiration
What part of your respiratory system swells up if you have asthma
Your bronchioles
How does air get to your alveoli
Nose/Mouth → Trachea → Bronchus → Bronchioles → Alveoli
What part of your respiratory system is damaged if you have emphysema
Your alveoli
How does emphysema affect your alveoli
It damages the walls of your alveoli
What happens to your diaphragm when you breathe in
It goes downward
How does smoking damage your cilia
It hardens them
What is the name of the muscles that surround your ribs
Intercostal Muscles
Why does smoking harden your cilia
It covers them in black tar
What happens when your cilia get hardened
They can’t remove dirt from your lungs
What do inhalers do
Release medicine into your lungs to stop your bronchioles from swelling
Aerobic Respiration Formula
Glucose C6H12O6 + Oxygen 6O2→ Carbon Dioxide 6CO2+ Water 6H2O (+ energy)
Anaerobic Respiration Formula
Glucose C6H12O6 → Lactic Acid 2C3H6O3 (+ energy)
Why do we need to respire
To release energy from glucose
Which type of respiration produces lactic acid
Anaerobic Respiration
What does carbon monoxide do to your blood cells
It binds to them so they can’t carry as much oxygen
What do antagonistic muscles do
One contracts and the other relaxes
