SCIENCE BIOLOGY RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Flashcards
the process involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in organisms.
RESPIRATION
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the blood within the lungs
EXTERNAL RESPIRATION
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the body cells
INTERNAL RESPIRATION
what are the of Stages of Respiration?
BREATHING
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
The cells convert energy from glucose from the food that we eat into adenosine triphosphate
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
serve as the opening to the respiratory tract.
NOSTRIL
connects mouth and nasal cavity to the esophagus.
PHARYNX
is a flap of cartilage that opens during respiration.
EPIGLOTTIS
also known as the voice box, is involved in sound production.
LARYNX
connects the larynx and pharynx to the lungs.
TRANCHEA
are air passageway from trachea to the lungs.
BRONCHI
The bronchi branch into smaller tubes known as
BRONCHIOLES
THE MOST ESSENTIAL OR IMPORTANT IN RESPIRATION
RESPIRATORY TRACK
are tiny sac-like structures present at the end of bronchioles.
ALVEOLI
is a muscle that expands or contracts when breathing.
DIAPHRAM
THE MAIN ORGAN FOR RESPIRATION
LUNGS
WHAT ARE THE 2 PARTS OF RESPIRATORY TRACK
THE UPPER AND LOWER RESPIRATORY PARTS
is the physical action of taking oxygen into, and releasing the waste carbon dioxide out of the lungs. These gases are transported by the circulatory system and exchanged in the cells.
breathing
This is when the air from the atmosphere transported to the lungs
inspiration
at the same time, carbon dioxide from the organism returns to the environment
expiration
