-
respiration
exchange of oxygen and CO2
-
pulmonary ventilation
flow of air in and out of the lungs
-
external respiration
exchange of O2 for CO2 at the lungs
-
internal respiration
exchange of O2 for CO2 at the individual cells
-
cellular respiration
metabolism; the cells will use the O2 in reactions that ultimately produce energy and CO2
-
gills
extensions of the body surface for gas exchange; fish
-
tracheae
extensive system of internal tubes; insects
-
spiracles
holes in insects bodies; openings to tracheae
-
lungs
internal sacs to exchange O2 and CO2
-
the respiratory system starts with the
nose
-
nose functions
- incoming air is warmed, moistened, and filtered
- smells things
- modifies the sounds for speech; it helps you talk
-
hard palate
lower, front portion of nose
-
soft palate
lower, back portion of nose
-
-
eustachian tube
connects the ear to the pharynx
-
-
epiglottis
cartilage covering larynx; keeps food out of trachea
-
heimlich maneuver
used if someone is choking; manually forces the diaphragm upward creating enough pressure to expel an object from the trachea
-
vocal cords
in larynx; produce sounds
-
-
bronchi
branches to each lung
-
broncholiole
last microscopic branch before alveoli attached
-
alveoli
where O2/CO2 exchange takes place
-
surfactant
keeps alveoli open
-
upper respiratory system
nose and pharynx
-
lower respiratory system
larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli
-
cardiac notch
left lung has an indention where you can reach the heart without hitting the lung
-
inhale
lungs expand, air comes in; diaphragm contracts
-
exhale
lung decrease, air goes out; diaphragm relax
-
eupnea
normal quiet breathing
-
apnea
temporarily stop breathing
-
dyspnea
difficult breathing
-
tachypnea
rapid breathing
-
-
too much carbon dioxide in bloodstream
make you take a breath
-
-
-
hyperventilitaion
deep, rapid breaths that rid your body of CO2
-
hemoglobin
inside red blood cells; carries more oxygen than plasma alone; carries 4 oxygens;
-
blood substitutes should
- be able to transport oxygen
- deliver oxygen to tissues
- require no blood typing
- suitable for long term storage
- survive in circulation for several weeks
- free of side effects
- free of pathogens
-
sickle cell anemia
hemoglobin is messed up; carries 2 oxygens; sickled shape
-
fetal hemoglobin carries more oxygen than
maternal hemoglobin
-
asthma
trachea contracts; no air gets in
-
emphysema
any situation where alveoli deterioate; low lung capacity
-
cystic fibrosis
bad Cl- transpoter gene; thick mucus, can't breathe
-
tuberculosis (TB)
respirtory disease that is spread easily; often resistant to antibiotics
