1
Q

What is the trachea

A

Has muscular structure which allows movement in the neck
Connects larynx to bronchi
Transports air to lungs
Right of cartilage to protect trachea and keeps it open

Q

What is the alveolus

A

Air sacs in lungs and are covered in tiny blood vessels
Bigger surface more oxygen
Have a moist lining

14
Q

What’s happens inside the alveolus

A

Oxygen dissolved into small moist lining into hyberglobin red cells
Oxygen is higher concentration in alveolus than capillary
And is opposite for CO2

Q

What does the alveolus moist lining do

A

Stops the alveolus from dying and cracking and lubricant to inside air sac

16
Q

What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

A

|Adenosine|——/RIBOSE\——(P)—(P)-(P)
P molecular spilt releases energy (ATP)
Glucose is the starting energy.
ATP lasts 10 seconds
3 systems; glycolysis, kerbs cycle, electron transport chain

17
Q

What are the three energy systems
(Aerobic respiration)

A

|GLYCOLYSIS|-> |KREBS CYCLE|->| ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN|

18
Q

What is glycolysis and how does it move on to kerbs cycle

A

Fastest of the three
Made from glucose
——
Move on using pyruvate and NADH

19
Q

What is the kerbs cycle and how does it move to electron transport chain

A

Needs oxygen
Made of proteins and oxygen
——
Moves on using NADH

20
Q

What is the electron transport chain

A

Does the effectively the most
Made using oxgyen

21
Q

What is lactic acid and how does it go from glycolysis

A

Bad for cells
And used pyrvcate and NADH
——
Krebs cycle and electron transport cycle need oxygen if no oxygen glycolysis goes to lactic acid

22
Q

What is anerobic respiration

A

Glucose running
Without oxygen
Forced to stop due to lactic acid building
Unsustainable

23
Q

What is the role of glucose

A

To provide body with energy

24
Q

What is the role of oxygen

A

Allows body to work (cells)

25
What is the function of ATP
allows Body to have energy without glucose
26
Why is lactic acid bad
NADH and pyruvate wasted and more lactic addicted is produced
27
How is carbon dioxide produced
Reactions react and produce the products of CO2 in anaerobic
28
What are the symptoms of asthma
Whistling sounds when breathing Breathlessness Tight chest Coughing
29
What are the causes of asthma
Genetics Smoking Obesity
30
How to treat asthma
Reliever inhaler- quicker Preventer inhaler- prevent symptoms Medication
31
How to diagnose asthma
Spirgmirtry - blow into a machine which measures how fast you can breath in and out and see how much oxygen your lungs can hold
32
Symptoms of emphysema
Breathlessness with exercise Susceptibility to chest infections Fatigue Coughing with phlegm
33
Causes of emphysema
Smoking Exposure to dust or industrial pollutants
34
Diagnosing of emphysema
Spirometry- blow into a machine and measure how fast you can breathe in and you and how much oxygen your lungs can hold
35
Treatment to emphysema
Stop smoking asap Avoid air pollutants Oxygen treatments Medications
36
Symptoms of cystic fibrosis
Coughing up phlegm Lung infections Fatigue Shortness of breath
37
Causes of cystic fibrosis
A faulty gene that is inherited from both parents
38
Diagnosing of cystic fibrosis
Sweat test- how much salt Genetic tests
39
Treatment to cystic fibrosis
Medication to thin mucus in lungs Anti biotics to prevent chest unfections
