Q

chapter 6

advantages of systemetic circulation

A
  1. high pressure to deliver oxygenated blood to the rest of the body
  2. low pressure to deliver deoxygenated blod to the lungs, allow efficient gaseous exchange
34
Q

chapter 6

function of heart

A

Acts as a muscular pump, circulating blood
throughout the body.
* When it relaxes it fills up with blood and when it contracts, blood is squeezed out with great force.

35
Q

chapter 6

Describes processes that occur from one heartbeat to the next

A
  1. Atrial muscles contract, forcing blood into ventricles. tricuspid and bicuspid valves remain open Semilunar valves remain closed
  2. Ventricular muscles contract, forcing blood out of hear. tricuspid and bicuspid valves close, smeiluner valves open
  3. Ventricular muscles relax (heart relaxed), blood flows into atria. tricuspid and bicuspid valves open Semilunar valves close
36
Q

close open close open

37
Q

chapter 6

when does cornonary heart disease occur

A

when the coronary arterise become narrowed or blocked

38
Q

chapter 6

blood always flow from?

A

high pressure to low pressure

39
Q

chapter 6

every intersection on a heart graph shows?

A

valves opening and closing

40
Q

chapter 6

describe how cornonary heart disease occur

A
  1. fatty substances build up on inner surface of conary arteries
  2. this narrows the lumen of these arteries and increases the blood pressure
  3. this results in artery developing a rough inner surface which increases the risk of a blood clot being formed
  4. if it occurs in the coronary arteries, the supply of blood and O2 to the heart muscles may be completely cut off
  5. without O2 heart muscle cells may be damaged and a heart attack may occur
41
Q

A
  1. smoking
  2. unhealthy diet
  3. genetic factors
  4. age
  5. sedentary lifestyle

why smoking would affect the heart

A

it contains nicotine which increases blood pressure ad rick of blood clotting in the arteries

43
Q

chapter 6

why genetic factors would affect the heart

A

family history
high blood pressure and high blood cholestrol can run in the family

43
Q

chapter 6

why unhealthy diet would affect the heart

A

diet with high cholestrol, saturated fats and salt content increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart attack

44
Q

chapter 6

why sedentary lifestyle would affect the heart

A

lack of excersie

45

cartilage, not C-shaped

51
Q

chapter 7

where does gaseous exchange take place at

Gas exchange takes place through walls of alveoli

52
Q

chapter 7

feature of alveoli

A

-numerous alveoli
-alveolar walls richly supplied
with blood capillaries
-alveolar wall is one-cell thick
-alveolar surface is covered
with a thin film of moisture

53
Q

chapter 7

how does alveolar surface is covered with a thin film of moisture help

A

allow oxygen to dissolve

54
Q

with blood capillaries help

A

maintains steep concentration gradient of gases

56
Q

chapter 7

how does gas exchange occur in the alveoli

A

1.O2 dissolves into thin layer of moisture
2.O2 diffuses through alveolar wall, blood capillary wall, and into RBC
3. O2 combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin
4. CO2 diffuses from blood into alveolar air

57
Q

chapter 7

how is the concentration gradient between the alveolar air and blood maintained?

A
  1. continuous flow of blood in capillaries
  2. continuous breathing, causes air in lungs ti be constantly refreshed
58
Q

chapter 7

explain inspiration/inhalation

A
  1. diaphragm muscule contracts, diaphragm flattens
  2. external intercostal muscles contract, internal itercostal muscles relax
  3. ribs move upwards and outwards, sternum also moves up and forward
  4. volume of thoracic cavity increases, lungs expand, volume of lungs increase
59
Q

chapter 7

how do we breathe

A

through pressure differences

60
Q

chapter 7

explain expiration/exhalation

A
  1. diaphragm muscle relaxes, diaphragm muscle arches upwards
  2. internal intercostal muscles contract, extrernal intercostal muscles relax
  3. ribs move downwards and inwards, sternum moves down to original position
  4. volume of thoracis cavity decreases
    5.lungs compressed, air pressure increases
    6.air forced out of lungs
61
Q

chapter 7

difference beteen respiration and breathing

A

respiration is a chemical process but breathing is a physical process

62
Q

chapter 7

what is aerobic respiration

A

is the breakdown of food substances in the presence of oxygen with the release of a large amount of energy.

63
Q

chapter 7

glucose-> lactic acid+small amt of energy

67
Q

chapter 7

oxygen debt

A

amount of oxygen required to remove lactic acid

68
Q

chapter 7

how is the lactic acid removed from the body

A

accumulated lactic acid would be transported to the liver and converted to glucose and O2 debt would be repaied when all lactic acid is broken down

69
Q

chapter 7

why anaerobic respiration occurs

A

insufficient oxygen to meet increased deman to sustain muscular contractions

70

respiration is a ____ process
breathing is a ______ process

A

chemical
physical

71
Q

chapter 7

how is oxygen debt repaied

A
  1. Heart rate remains high
    * Continued + fast transport of lactic acid and oxygen (from lungs) to liver
  2. Breathing remains deep and fast
    * Continued + fast intake of oxygen by lungs
72
Q

  1. nicotine
    - increased heart rate+blood pressure
    - narrow arteries
    - increased risk of blood clots-> CHD
    - decrease nutrients transported to fetus, affect fetus development
74
Q

-increased risk of lung cancer due to uncontrolled cell division
-increased risk of chronic bronchitis and emphysema
-pralyse cillia lining air passages
-dust and mucus not removed and blocks air passage ways

76
Q

chapter 7

what is chronic bronchitis

A
  1. lining of air ways become inflamed from prolonged exposure to irritants in smoke
  2. excess mucus secreter by epithlium
  3. cilia lining the airways paralysed

A
  • breathing difficulties due to blocked airways
  • perisitent cough ( body’s response to clear the blocked airways)
78
Q

chapter 7

what is emphysema

A
  1. partition walls of alveoli break down due to persistent violent coughs/tar/chemicals in tobacco smoke
  2. reduces surface area for gaseoys exchange
  3. lungs lose elasticity and become inflated with air
79
Q

chapter 7

symptoms of emphysema

A

difficulty breathing wheezing and servere breathlessness

80
Q

chapter 7

what is cancer

A

cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells

81
Q

chapter 7

How is oxygen absorbed in your lungs?

A
  • the epithelium separating the alveolar and the blood capillaries is permeable to o2 and co2
  • As alveolar air contains a higher concentration of oxygen than the blood, oxygen
  • dissolves in the moisture lining the alveolar walls and then diffuses into the blood capillaries.
    ● Oxygen combines with haemoglobin (in red blood cells) to form oxyhaemoglobin:
82
Q

chapter7

an athelete runs a marathon
explain why the athelete develops muscle cramps during the excercise

A
  1. muscle cells undergo aerobic repiration to release energy for muscular contractions
  2. hear rate and breathing rate increases to supply oxygen to muscle cells
  3. insufficiant oxygen to meet increases demand for aerobic respiration
  4. hence muscle cells carry out anaerobic repiration
  5. gulcose is broken down to release small amout of energy
  6. lactic acid is produced
  7. lactic acid accumulated in muscle causes muscle cramps
