RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (SOC 17) Flashcards
RESPIRATION:
Movement of air form outside the body into the cells within tissues.
DIAPHRAGM:
Primary muscle used in the process of inspiration, or inhalation. A dome-shaped sheet of muscle that separates the chest from the rest of the body cavity.
TRACHEA:
Tube that takes air into the chest, also known as the windpipe.
BRONCHUS (PL. BRONCHI):
Tube along which air passes from the trachea into the lungs.
BRONCHIOLES:
Smaller branches coming off the bronchi.
ALVEOLI:
Tiny sacs at the end of the bronchioles, where gas exchange takes place.
HAEMOGLOBIN:
A type of protein found in every red blood cell.
GASEOUS EXCHANGE:
Delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream and the removal of carbon dioxide from the tissues.
OXYGEN DEBT:
The amount of oxygen needed at the end of a physical activity to break down any lactic acid is known as Oxygen Debt.
HOW DOES OXYGEN TRAVEL AROUND THE BODY USING THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM?:
Oxygen first travels into the trachea through to the bronchus, after then travels into the bronchioles. The last organ which oxygen travels into is our lungs.
HOW DOES THE RESPIRATORY & CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM WORK TOGETHER?:
It’s very important to remember that an efficient respiratory system aids the cardio system by providing oxygen to our muscles, removing carbon dioxide.
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE DIAPHRAGM?:
The Diaphragm contrasts when we breath in to suck oxygen into the lungs. When breathing out it relaxes.
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF VITAL AND TIDAL VOLUME?:
Vital Capacity and Tidal Volume are measures that feature in sports training and evaluation. Coaches could use this data to estimate what position you have to play and the amount you can play.
HOW DOES EXERCISE IMPACT THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM?:
1.) How quick the heart beats.
…
INHALED & EXHALED AIR?:
- ) Air you breathe in is 20% oxygen & 0.4% carbon dioxide.
- ) Air you breathe out is 20% oxygen & 4% carbon dioxide.
- ) We breath in 21 times a minute.
