Organisiation Flashcards
Levels of organisation in multicellular organism
Cells - tissue- organs - organ system
Organelle
Specialised unit in cells specific func )mit, nucleus)
Cell
basic building block in living organisms ( heart muscle cell)
Tissue
Group of cells work together perform shared function (muscle )
Organ
structure made of groups of different tissue - specific function (heart)
Organ system
Group organs - work together specific function (circulatory system)
Adaptations of effective exchange surfaces
- LARGE SURFACE AREA= flat leaves, alveoli lungs , villi intestines
- SHORT DIFFUSION DISTANCE= cell membrane, flat leaves, capillaries , capillarie wall one cell thickβs
(3. efficient blood supply) = network of cappilaries surrounding alveoli/villi
What gas exchange occurs in the lungs
O2 air-blood
Co2 is waste product X X X ππππβ¨β¨
Blood - lungs- air
Respiration system structure
trachea - bronchi - bronchioles - alvioli cartilage rings in walls keep it open when air drawn in
Lungs enclosed in thorax in 12 pairs of ribs
Ribs moved by intercostal muscles
Diaphragm m below lungs

How are alveoli adapted for gas exchange
small = large sa: vol
millions
(short diffusion path, capillary / alveoli wall 1 cell thick)
(ventilation maintains high [grad]
