ATP
energy used in cellular levels
how is ATP produced?
cellular respiration
aerobic respiration
uses oxygen and glucose to produce energy, CO2 and water. produces lots of energy, occurs from the mitochondria
anaerobic respiration
uses glucose to produce energy lactic acid CO2. produces small amounts of energy compared to aerobic respiration. occurs in cytoplasm
effects on highly intense exercise
less aerobic respiration, more anaerobic respiration \, heart/lung can’t supply enough oxygen, more lactic acid produced
where does gas exchange occur
lungs
largest branch in the lungs
trachea
second largest branch in the lungs
bronchi
third largest branch in the lungs
bronchiole
tissue where gas exchange occurs
alveoli
muscle under the lungs that contract and expand when humans breathe
diaphragm
role of trachea
tube with incomplete rings of cartilage that carries air to the lungs. mucus and cilia are present
role of bronchi and bronchioles
carries air to the lungs
role of alveoli
small air sacs that are adapted for gas exchange
role of Diaphragm
Sheet of muscle which is domed; it helps make breathing movements
