🫁Respiratory System and Cell Respiration 🧫 Flashcards
Aerobic respiration
Respiration in oxygen
What removes poisonous CO2?
The human respiratory system 🫁
Where is the respiratory system located?
Inside the thorax
Where does air enter the respiratory system?
Nasal cavity 👃
What happens in the nasal cavity?
- Air enters
- Air is warmed
- Air is filtered
Where are pleural membranes located?
- line the chest wall (ribs)
- outside of the lungs 🫁
Space between pleural membranes
Pleural cavity 🦷
Pleural fluid
Reduces friction between lungs 🫁 and inside of chest wall 🧱
Alveoli
Gas exchange takes place here
Ribs
Protect the lungs from damage
Intercostal muscles
Muscles in between ribs that can contract and relax
Trachea
First tube of the respiratory system with rings of cartilage
Pleural membranes
Reduce friction between the lungs and the chest wall
Bronchi
There are two of these that take air to each lung 🫁
Diaphragm
A large muscle that separates the thorax and the abdomen
Bronchioles
The smallest branches in the lungs that take air to the alveoli
Pleural fluid
The fluid trapped inside the pleural membranes that further reduces friction during breathing 😮💨
Intercostal muscles: inhaling
Contract 📑
Intercostal muscles: exhaling
Relax 😎
Ribcage: inhaling
- moves up ⬆️
- moves out ⬅️➡️
Ribcage: exhaling
- moves down ⬇️
- moves in ➡️⬅️
Diaphragm: inhaling
- muscle contracts 💪
- moves down ⬇️
- flattens —
Diaphragm: exhaling
- muscle relaxes 😎
- moves up ⬆️
- dome shaped 🍚
Thorax volume: inhaling
Increases
Thorax volume: exhaling
Decreases
Pressure in thorax: inhaling
Decreases
Pressure in thorax: exhaling
Increases
Air in lungs : inhaling
Air is drawn in
Air in lungs : exhaling
Expelled
Bell jar : rubber sheet
Diaphragm
Bell jar : glass tubing
Trachea and bronchus
Bell jar: bell jar
Thorax
Bell jar : balloons 🎈
Lungs
Pneumothorax 🫁
Collapsed lung 🫁
• Larynx
Voice box
Respiratory surface
- parts of living organisms 🐕
- across which respiratory gases can be exchanged 🎁
- between the environment (atmosphere) 🌳 and the organism’s cells 🧫
