RESPIRATION AND BREATHING Flashcards
INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES
in between the ribs
helps your breathing
DIAPHRAGM
in between the digestive system and the lungs
TRACHEA
the osphogaus
BRONCHI
2 big tubes coming of the Trachea
BRONCHIOLES
the little flakes coming of from the bronchi
ALVEOLI
small sacks on the end of the bronchioles
PLEURAL MEMBRANES
the substance that surroundes the lungs
ALVEOLI
- large suface area for gas exchange
- thin walls (one cell thick) short diffusion distance
- the alveolus ar surrounded by blood capillaries
- linging is moist so gases can dissolve
CONSEQUENCES OF THE LUNGS WHEN SMOKING
- smoke damages the cilia
- tar contains carcinogens- causes lung cancer
- smoke damages alveoli- makes walls thicker and reduces suface area called EMPHYSEMA
DEFINITION OF RESPIRATION
the release of energy from food- it happens in every cell of every living thing- plants, animals, bacteria and fungi. Viruses do not respire.
HOW IS ATP MADE
the energy is released from the glucose is used to makes it
WHAT PROVIDES ENERGY FOR THE CELLS
ATP
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
-uses oxygen
-no lactic acid made
-large amout of energy released
-CO² always is made
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
ANAROBIC RESPIRATION
-doesn’t use oxygen
-lactic acid made
-small amount of energy released
-CO² sometimes made
ANIMALS- glucose → lactic acid
PLANTS- glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
RESPIRATION SIMILARITIES
- energy is released by breakingdown of sugar
- ATP made
- some energy lost though heat
