Cards (42)

  • gas exchange
    in oxygen, out carbon dioxide
  • respiration
    exchange of gasses
  • air - 21% oxygen
    water - 0.7% oxygen
  • direct respiration
    skin/body
  • indirect respiration
    internal or external / involves organs
  • diffusion of oxygen
    using body / high to low
  • organs for respiration
    comprises a moist permeable membrane
  • organs for respiration
    1. tracheal systems
    2. gills
    3. lungs
    4. skin / body covering
  • tracheal systems
    terrestrial arthropods / carry air directly to the individual cells / composed of tracheae and spiracles
  • trachea
    small tubes that ramify through the body
  • spiracles
    apertures in the body wall and can be opened and closed by valves / entrance
  • gills
    multicellular aquatic animals
  • fishes
    two-chambered heart / has conus arteriosus / countercurrent flow
  • conus arterious
    pulsates and transfers blood to the gills
  • countercurrent flow
    blood and water meet in opposite directions
  • lungs
    land vertebrates / a chamber lined by moist epithelium underlaid by a network of blood capillaries / atmospheric air can be used / has alveoli
  • alveoli
    small air sacs / compartments in the lungs / 200 million / has ducts / made of simple squamous epithelium
  • alveolar ducts
    long, branching hallways with many open doorways
  • frogs
    3-chambered heart (2 atria 1 ventricle) / use skin underwater for gas exchange (cutaneous breathing)
  • cutaneous breathing
    using skin for gas exchange
  • moist skin for gas exchange
    earthworms
  • human respiratory system
    1. conducting portion
    2. gas-exchange portion
  • 2 types of gas exchange
    1. external
    2. internal
  • external respiration
    between atmosphere and the blood in the lungs (alveoli cells)
  • internal respiration
    between the blood and the cells of the body
  • conducting portion
    nose -> bronchioles / s series of passageways that carry air into the gas-exchange portion
  • nose / nasal cavity
    external nose / nasal cavity / nostrils / choanae / septum
  • nares / nostrils
    external openings
  • choanae
    opening to the pharynx]
  • nasal septum
    partition
  • external nose
    visible structure
  • pharynx (throat)

    passageway of both food and air / composed of naso, oro, laryngo
  • larynx (voicebox)

    located in anterior throat / outer casing of 9 cartilages / has vocal cords
  • vocal cords
    primary source of voice production
  • trachea (windpipe)

    inverted y / membranous tube of connective tissue and smooth muscles / has 16-20 c-shaped pieces of cartilages
  • bronchi
    left is more horizontal than the right / connects to the lung
  • bronchioles
    has terminal and respiratory bronchioles
  • tracing
    1. nose
    2. pharynx
    3. larynx
    4. trachea
    5. bronchi
    6. bronchioles
    7. alveoli
  • transport of oxygen is done by the blood (t/f)

    true
  • hemoglobin
    respiratory pigment / heme + globin
