Unit D Flashcards
Order of air passing through our body
- Nose or Mouth
- Goes through our pharynx
- Goes through our Glottis
- Pass our larynx
- Through the Trachea
- Through the bronchiole tubes
7.To the Bronchi in our lungs - to the Alveoli to gas exchange the oxygen into the red blood cells
Function of Nasal Passage or Nose
allows air to transport into our bodies however if the air goes through our mouth it allows bacteria to enter more frequently
Pharynx function
a passageway for food and air
Epiglottis
The filtering of food and air transport air into our glottis and food into our esophagus
glottis
passage way for air to the trachea
trachea
trachea known as the wind pipe working with the larynx to be able to make sound from our larynx by wind travelling up from the trachea
larynx
the voice box of our body working with our trachea by getting air from the trachea moving air upward. covered in cartilage
Bronchi Tubes
just the way to travel oxygen to both lungs
difference between bronchus and bronchi
bronchus is one tube and bronchi is plural
bronchiole
bronchi transports the oxygen through to the bronchiole to transport into the alveoli
alveoli
the place for gas exchange to the red blood cells
Describe the process in which the alveoli transports oxygen to the red blood cells
By gas exchange with the capillaries that act as a way to transport the oxygen to the red blood cells
how does the red blood cells use the oxygen once oxygenated
once oxygenated they are used in every cell to preform cellular respiration like in body parts.
How do we produce Carbon dioxide?
by going through the reverse process of our respiratory system from using all of the oxygen in the red blood cells it is now deoxygenated so it transports back into our alveoli by our blood vessels and goes through our respiratory system but in the reverse to exhale Carbon Dioxide
