QuestionAnswer
what are the 3 most dangerous chems in cigarettes and some of their effects on the body. Nicotine-constricts blood vessels, affects brain-causes addiction carbon monoxide-stronger attraction to hemoblobin-is picked up vs. oxygen so not enough o2 4 cellular resp. tar-coats alveoli+interferes w/gas exchange
list some effects of smoking on the body yellow fingers+teeth smelly clothes+body+breath holes in furniture +clothes bronchitis emphysema cold extremities many types cancer(lung, throat,esophagus etc.) heart attack high bp
why do smokers have a harder time with physical activity? tar deteriorates alveoli- gas exchange less efficient-less o2 going to body cells=harder to produce energy.
how is our breathing controlled? medulla in brain detects co2 levels in blood-when increase-sends nerve messages to diaphragm-contract faster. when decrease-sends fewer messages
how are carbon hydrogen oxygen and nitrogen constantly rearranged in cells? C, H, O always going through cellular respiration. nitrogen-always being changed to urea.
what is the differences between a normal lung and a pneumonia lung on xray? pneum lung is whiter-less space, can see some solid bits in the lung vs. normal lung is for the most part completely black. higher density in pneum. lung.
Identify causes symptoms+treatments of pneumonia symptoms:fluid produced to wash away toxins irritating lungs. causes-bacteria, virus, toxins treatments- antibiotics 4 bac-need to just wait it out for virus+toxins
how is air different at different elevations? how does the body adapt to this? there is less oxygen at higher elevations-body producs more rbcs and rbcs produce more hemoblobin.
what happens w/ diaphragm, ribs/intercostal muscles during inhalation. diaphragm contracts- flattening for more space. intercostals pull ribs up and out creating more space.
how do air pressure/volume in lungs+chest cavity change during inhalation? lungs- ap-increases-rush of air. volume-increases(lungs inflate) chest cavity: ap-decreases-more space so less pressure volume-increases-more space
what happens w/diaphragm, ribs/intercostal muscles during exhalation. diaphragm-relaxs-moves up intercostals relax, moving ribs down and in.
how do the volume+air pressure of the lungs and chest cavity change during exhalation? lungs: ap-decreases-air leaves volume-decreases air leaves chest cavity: ap-increases-less space same amount air volume-decreases-less space
list examples of wastes and how they are excreted some water-every kind of excretion co2-breathed salt-urine urea/nitrogen-urine left over food+water-feces
what are some things that should be found in urine. what are some that should not. should: nitrogen, water, calcium, salt, occasionally sugar shouldn't: blood, too much sugar
describe how the digestive, urinary, respiratory and circulatory systems interact. digestive-breaks down food into sugar 4 cellular resp. circ. carries sugar+gases to cells+resp. system. resp system provides oxygen+gets rid of co2. circ. system carries some wastes to urinary system gets rid of them(urine)
explain what diabetes is using blood sugar, insulin, pancreas, body cells. pancreas doesnt produce insulin...insulin alerts body cells of glucose in blood(blood sugar) so it can allow it to cross membrane for cellular respiration.
