Q

how does mucus get destroyed

A

pathogens, bacteria, dust etc. gets stuck in mucus and the cilia then waft it back up towards the oesophagus where it goes to the stomach and is broken down by the strong PH hydrochloric acid.

Q

what is cystic fibrosis

A

autosomal recessive disease. ( non-sex chromosome) requires two recessive alleles so people can be carries ( have one dominant allele)
overproduces mucus so can’t be moved.

Q

structure of alveoli

A

moist lining that gases dissolve in, before moving across membrane by simple diffusion.
surfactant- liquid inside keeping it inflated so has a large surface area.

Q

what is the pleura

A

surrounds each lung with a pleura sac that contains pleural fluid to allow inner and outer walls to slide over each other during act of breathing with little friction.

Q

what does the external inter costal muscle do.

A

contracts causing them to elevate bending them open.

21
Q

what does internal inter costal muscle do.

A

depresses causing them to open
so it relaxes.

22
Q

what is a pressure gradient in ventilation

A

change in pressure from the thoratic cavity to the atmospheric pressure.

23
Q

explain what happens when we inhale

A

stimulation from the phrenic nerve contracts the diaphragm moving it in the inferior direction and out. this causes the external intercostal muscle to elevate bending them open by contracting them so the volume increases and therefore decreases the pressure in the thoratic cavity causing a pressure gradient where the atmospheric pressure is higher than in the thoratic cavity causing air to enter by the mouth or nose to reach equilibrium.

24
Q

where is the larynx

A

near the voice box.

25
Q

what is the pharynx

A

throat.

26
Q

what is an antagonistic muscle

A

a muscle that contracts (agonist) and one that relaxes (antagonist)
for example external inter costal muscle (contrasts) and interior costal muscle (relaxes)

27
Q

what are two factors effecting gas exchange

A

levels of activity
size of organs

28
Q

what is peak flow meter

A

small hand held device
£10-£13
measures how hard and quick you can blow air out of your lungs.
anticipates asthmatic
airways are tight and inflamed- peak flow score is lower than usual.

29
Q

what is a spirometer

A

large and full of water.
lid moves up when you breath out and down when you breath in.
attached to trace marker which works out the tidal volume which is the amount of air that moves in or out of the lungs with each respiratory cycle- looks like a wave

30
Q

what is a digital spirometer

A

connects to a data logger
+- expired air
– inspired air
detachable mouthpiece
nose clip- air only leaves mouth

31
Q

what is the residual volume

A

always some air in the lung as alveoli need to be inflamed.

32
Q

what is vital capacity

A

maximum inspiratory and expiratory volume

33
Q

what kind of circulatory system do fish have

A

single system that only goes through the heart once.

34
Q

4 stages of the circulatory system

A

heart- gills- body- heart

35
Q

operculum

A

bony flap that covers the gills.

36
Q

what’s lamellae and primary/secondary

A

where gas exchange takes place.
primary- gill filaments
secondary- folded primary lamellae that create a large SA.

37
Q

what’s the gill arch

A

where blood flows
bony
supports gills.

38
Q

what’s countercurrent flow

A

two fluids flowing in opposite directions. creates a high concentration of oxygen in water than lamellae to maximise absorption of oxygen.

39
Q

why is a fish’s circulatory system non-parallel

A

flows in opposite directions so their is always a concentration gradient so oxygen diffuses.

40
Q

buccal cavity

A

fish mouth

41
Q

opercular

A

space underneath operculum

42
Q

buccal- opercular pump

A

keeps oxygenated blood flowing over gills.

43
Q

how does ventilation and gas exchange work in fish

A

floor of mouth moves downwards so water enters
increases volume so pressure decreases
mouth closes pushing water to gills.
operculum moves outwards so water moves out.

44
Q

What type of circulatory system does insects have

A

Open circulatory as they have no blood vessels organs are bathed in haemolymph which acts as tissue fluid

45
Q

What is a spiracle

A

Respiratory opening in the exoskeleton of the thorax and abdomen of an insect.

46
Q

What is the throax known as for humans

A

The chest

47
Q

What gives the trachea support in insects

A

Polysaccharide called chitin

48
Q

What does tracheole fluid do

A

It is at the end of the trachea and when insects are active the fluid moves out of the tracheoles, exposing the surface for diffusion.
