is the physical taking in of air (inhalation) and letting out of air (exhalation)

Question 3

cellular respiration

Answer 3

is the chemical process whereby oxygen and glucose are used by the mitochondria to produce carbon dioxide and water and release their energy from food

Question 4

gaseous exchange pt 2

Answer 4

this occurs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood

Question 5

EUSTACHIAN tube opening

Answer 5

Equalise air pressure on both sides of the eardrum

Question 6

Answer 6

Prevents food from entering the nasal passage when you swallow

Question 7

Answer 7

passage for food and air to pass through

trachea divide into two airways to take air to both lungs

Question 19

Heart

Answer 19

A pump to ensure that oxygenated blood is pumped throughout the body

Question 20

lungs

Answer 20

provide a large moist gaseous exchange surface

Question 21

External intercostal muscles

Answer 21

when they contract the chest cavity enlargers for inhalation

Question 22

Internal intercostal muscles

Answer 22

when they contract the chest cavity gets smaller for exhalation

Question 23

Plural membranes

Answer 23

line the lungs and rib cage and along with the pleural fluid between them they prevent friction between the lungs and rib cage

Question 24

Answer 24

prevents friction between lungs and rib cage during movement and breathing

Question 25

rib

Answer 25

forms of protective cage for the lungs and heart

Question 26
