Q

What happens when you breathe in

A

Diaphragm contracts and flattens, intercostal muscles contract and rob cage moves up and out. Volume increases and pressure decreases and air is drawn into lungs

Q

What happens when you breathe out

A

Diaphragm relaxes and domes up. Intercostal muscles relax and rib cage moves down and in. Volume decreases and pressure increases. Air is drawn out of lungs

17
Q

What is the function of bronchioles

A

Deliver air to all parts of the lung

18
Q

Function alveoli

A

Site of gas exchange (1 cell thick)

19
Q

Function of ribs

A

Protects lungs

20
Q

Function of pleural membranes

A

Lubricates the movement of the lungs reducing friction

21
Q

Function trachea

A

Carries air to lungs

22
Q

What is the name of the gas exchange surface in a plant

A

Spongy mesophyll layer

23
Q

How is alveoli adapted

A

Large surface area, reduces distance of diffusion 1 cell thick, inner surface of alveoli is moist allowing diffusing gases to dissolve increasing rate of diffusion, walls are highly permeable and moist meaning gases can move through easy.

24
Q

Where is gas exchange in the plant

A

Stomata which is found on leaves
