respiratory system

Question 1

what is a respiratory system?

Answer 1

The process of exchanging gases between the body and outside air

Question 2

what are the two parts of the respiratory system?

Answer 2

part 1: oxygen is drawn to the body and carbon dioxide is released through the respiratory tract

part 2: The circulatory system delivers oxygen to the body cells and gets carbon dioxide in return

Question 3

where is the gas exchange site located?

Answer 3

Lungs or alveoli

Question 4

How is respiration different from cellular respiration?

Answer 4

respiration is taking oxygen into the body from outside air (breathing)

cellular respiration uses oxygen and releases CO2 and is the process the cells go through

Question 5

what are the 5 main organs in the respiratory system?

Answer 5

Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs

Question 6

what systems is the pharynx connected to

Answer 6

Respiratory system

Digestive system

Question 7

what travels through the pharynx

Answer 7

food And air

Question 8

where are the vocal chords located

Answer 8

larynx

Question 9

what divides into the left and right bronchi

Answer 9

The trachea

Question 10

where is the site of gas exchange?

Answer 10

The alveoli

Question 11

what organ is in both the digestive and respiratory system?

Answer 11

The pharynx (throat)

Question 12

where is the oxygen transported/ given to blood cells ?

Answer 12

The alveoli

Question 13

around how many alveoli does a adult lung have

Answer 13

around 300 million

Question 14

what are 4 steps to respiration

Answer 14

1. ventilation
2. pulmonary gas exchange
3. gas transport
4. peripheral gas exchange

Question 15

what is ventilation

Answer 15

breathing in and out

Question 16

what is pulmonary gas exchange

Answer 16

Co2 and oxygen being swapped between the air and blood cells

Question 17

what is a pulmonary capillary

Answer 17

small blood vessels inside of the lungs attached to the walls of the alveoli

Question 18

where does blood take the oxygen after taking it from the alveoli?

Answer 18

to the heart

Question 19

where does the heart pump the oxygen blood into/ where doe it end up?

Answer 19

Into the alteries which carry the blood throughout the body. then the oxygen is given to the peripheral capillary. the peripheral capillary gives co2 in returned to the blood cells which the blood cells take back to the alveoli to repeat the process.

Question 20

what supports your body tissue?

Answer 20

the peripheral capillary
