Processes
where energy is used
Muscle
contraction
Cell
division
Absorption
of nutrients in the gut by
active transport
Transmitting
nerve impulses
Protein synthesis
Making new
cell membranes
and
cell structures
Keeping the body

Aerobic
respiration
Glucose
+ Oxygen >>
Carbon dioxide
+ water + energy released
View source
Anaerobic respiration
Glucose
->
lactic acid
+ energy released
View source
Aerobic
respiration
Involves chemical reactions in cells that break down
glucose
to release
energy
Uses
oxygen
No
alcohol
or
lactic acid
made
Large amount of
energy
released from each molecule of
glucose
Carbon dioxide
made
View source
Anaerobic respiration
Involves chemical reactions in cells that break down glucose to release energy
Does not use oxygen
Alcohol (in yeast and plants) or lactic acid (in animals) is made
Much less energy released from each molecule of glucose
Carbon dioxide is made by yeast and plants, but not by animals

Vigorous
exercise
Muscles start to carry out
anaerobic
respiration
View source
Anaerobic
respiration in muscles
Glucose is broken down to
lactic acid
instead of carbon dioxide and
water
View source
Lactic
acid builds up in muscles and blood
Causes
oxygen
debt
View source
Oxygen debt removal
1.
Faster
and
deeper
breathing to supply more oxygen
2.
Lactic
acid broken down in the liver by
aerobic
respiration
View source
Oxygen
debt
Lactic
acid needs to be broken down, requiring extra
oxygen
View source
Control of breathing rate
1. Brain monitors blood
pH
2. Detects high
CO2
or
lactic acid
3. Sends nerve impulses to stimulate
diaphragm
and
intercostal muscles
to contract harder and more often

Gas exchange surfaces
Permeable
One
cell thick
Efficient
transport system
Large
surface area
Good
oxygen supply
Moist
View source
Human breathing system
1. Air enters
mouth
/
nose
2. Passes through
throat
,
larynx
, trachea
3. Branches into bronchi,
bronchioles
,
alveoli
4. Gas exchange occurs in
alveoli
View source
Trachea
Kept open by
C-shaped
rings of
cartilage
Cartilage prevents
trachea
from
collapsing
View source
Gas
exchange at the alveolus
1.
Oxygen
diffuses from
alveolus
into blood
2.
Oxygen
combines with
hemoglobin
in red blood cells
3. Carbon dioxide diffuses from
blood
into
alveolus
and is breathed out
View source
Respiratory
passage lining
Goblet cells release
mucus
Cilia sweep mucus containing bacteria and dust up to the
throat
View source
Inspired air contains
21
% oxygen,
0.04
% carbon dioxide, variable water vapour
View source
Expired air contains
16%
oxygen,
4%
carbon dioxide, very high water vapour
View source
Inspiration (breathing in)
1. External intercostal muscles contract, internal intercostal muscles relax, raising ribs
2. Diaphragm contracts and flattens, pulling downwards
3. Thoracic volume increases, pressure decreases, air moves into lungs
View source
Expiration (breathing out)
1. Internal intercostal muscles
contract
, external intercostal muscles
relax
, lowering ribs
2. Diaphragm
relaxes
3. Thoracic volume
decreases
, pressure increases, air forced out of
lungs
4. Elastic
recoil
of alveoli helps force
air
out
