Lecture 3 - Respiration Flashcards
taken into the body via respiratory process
oxygen
process by which organisms exchange gases with their environment to produce energy
respiration
Three types of respiration
- cellular respiration
- internal respiration
- external respiration
- muscles between the ribs
- involved in breathing
- chest cavity expand, lowering volume of air inside causing inhalation
intercostal muscles
diaphragm, rib cage and chest wall relax and return to their original position, which expels the air from the lungs.
quiet exhalation
what happens during exhalation
diaphragm, rib cage, and chest wall relax and return to original position
- lined with epithelium
- Tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (tiny branches of air tubes in the lungs)
- where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during
alveoli
gas exchange in internal respiration
blood and cells
gas exchange in external respiration
environment and lungs
Three steps in cellular respiration
- glycolysis
- krebs cycle / citric acid cycle
- electron transport chain
what happens in glycolysis
glucose to pyruvic acid
what happens in krebs cycle
pyruvic acid to NADH
Types of Respiratory Structures
- diffusion across body surfaces
- tracheal systems
- branchial systems
- book lungs and book gills
- mantle cavity
organisms with diffusion across body surfaces type of respiration
- protozoans
- sponges
- cnidarians
- flatworms
- annelids
surface area in diffusion across body surfaces type of respiration
surface area > volume of body
mechanism of diffusion across body surfaces type of respiration
- direct simple diffusion
- cutaneous respiration
direct simple diffusion
across moist body surfaces
cutaneous respiration
directly through the moist skin
- animal takes in O2 through its surface
- animal eliminates CO2 through its surface
diffusion across body surfaces
- gases go in or out of the spiracles
- gases are exchanged through the tissues at the tips of the branches
tracheal systems
organisms with tracheal systems
- insects
- arachnids
structure in tracheal systems
tracheae
mechanism of tracheal systems
air enters through spiracles and diffuse through tracheae to reach cells
- opening in the body surface
- can be opened/closed voluntarily
- air enters through body movements (flying)
spiracles
how does air enter the body of animals with tracheal systems
movement (flying)
tracheal system
spiracles -> tracheae -> tracheoles
tracheal system is __ of the circulation of the body
independent
direct, most efficient system among all active animals
tracheal system
- countercurrent system
- found in aquatic species
branchial systems
organisms with branchial systems
- mollusks
- crustaceans
- annelids
structure in branchial systems
- dermal papulae
- branchial tufts
- internal gills
projections of the coelom that serve in respiration and waste removal
dermal papulae
