Respiratory System Flashcards
Cells utilize O2 and CO2 through what process
diffusion
pumping of water in gills or pumping of air in lungs (involves inspiration and expiration)
ventilation
diffusion of gases have special adaptations when contact surface between air/water and blood
blood-air barrier
exchange of gases with the surrounding environment such as fetal membranes, surface of the skin, in the gills, and lungs - oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged between the external environment and the body cells
external respiration
happens at the leevel of the capillary beds where the exchange of gases is achieved through diffusion (blood-air barrier)
internal respiration
allows diffusion of gases - cells use oxygen for ATP production (& produce carbon dioxide in the process)
capillaries’ endothelium
adaptations for external respiration in adult vertebrates include (4)
external and internal gills
swim bladders or lungs
skin
buccopharyngeal mucosa
the process of taking in the air to lungs/water to gills
ventilation
less common respiratory devices include what (3)
filamentous outgrowths of posterior trunk and thigh
lining of cloaca
lining of esophagus
process of releasing the air/water to the environment
expiration
1 inspiration and 1 expiration is equivalent to 1 breathing _____
cycle
gills wave back and forth through water to irrigate the capillary beds they carry and oxygenation occurs
ventilation pattern
unidirectional (gill ventilation)
type of ventilation where O2 enters the blood-air barrier of alveoli, deoxygenated blood is deloaded into the air sacs and exchanges with O2+, eventually high O2 affinity to blood results and oxygenation occurs
bidirectional (lung ventilation)
commonly referred to as breathing, process of air flowing through the lungs during inspiration and out of the lungs during inspiration
pulmonary ventilation
reason why air flow because of their differences between the atmosphere and gases
air pressure
respiratory organs of fishes (2)
gills
gas bladders
two types of gas bladders
swim bladders
rete mirabile or respiratory gas bladders
also called air bladder, buoyancy organ possessed by most bony fish
swim bladder
contains gas (usually oxygen) and functions as a hydrostatic, or ballast, organ, enabling the fish to maintain its depth without floating upward or sinking
swim bladder
serves as a resonating chamber to produce or receive sound
swim bladder
complex of arteries and veins lying close to each other ,found in some vertebrates, mainly warm-blooded ones
rete mirabile
utilizes countercurrent blood flow within the net to act as a countercurrent exchanger
rete mirabile
how many ‘naked’ gill slits in cartilaginous fishes
5
anterior and posterior walls of the first 4 gill chambers have a gill surface
true or false?
true
gill surface in cartilaginous fishes is known as
demibranch
does the posterior wall of last chamber in cartilaginous fishes have a demibranch?
no
lies between the 2 demibranch of a gill arch
interbranchial septum
protrude from gill cartilage and guard entrance into the gill chamber
gill rakers
2 demibranch + septum and associated cartilage, blood vessels, muscles, and nerves = ?
holobranch
how many gills slits does bony fishes (teleost) have?
5
projects backward over gill chambers in teleost
operculum
is interbranchial septa present in bony fishes?
no
have 6-15 pairs of gill pouches
agnathans
gill pouches in agnathans are connected to pharynx by what ducts
afferent branchial (or gill) ducts
gill pouches connected to exterior is connected by what ducts
efferent branchial (or gill) ducts
outgrowth from the external surface of 1 or more gill arches
found in lungfish and amphibians
external gills
projection through gill slits, occur in early stages of development of elasmobranch
filamentous extensions of internal gills
