Respiratory
bio182 final respiratory stystem
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What atmospheric gases are exchanged by animal systems? | O2 and CO2 |
| Why are internal gills better than external? | external ones are easy to damage. Gill arches support gills. water flows unidirectionally. |
| Tracheal system | respiratory system in insects which end in air capillaries. |
| spiracles- | sides of abdomen |
| Tracheal system consists of | Trachea, air sacs, and spiracles. |
| pharynx | The cavity in vertebrates between the mouth and the esophagus and windpipe (trachea), which serves for the passage of both food and respiratory gases. |
| Larynx | vocal chords |
| Bronchi | is a caliber of airway in the respiratory tract that conducts air into the lungs.No gas exchange takes place in this part of the lungs. |
| alveoli | microscopic air sacs that are surrounded by a rich network of blood vessels in mammalian lungs that function in gas exchange; the air sacs are at the end of the bronchioles. |
| Why are alveoli close to capillaries? | They need to be for efficient gas exchange. |
| Myoglobin | muscle cells made of a single polypeptide chain. |
| Myoglobin | is found in the skeletal and heart muscles. The molecules bind and release oxygen rapidly aiding their transport of oxygen within the cell. |
| Formula for animal gas exchange | CO2 + H20 ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3- |
| What controls the respiratory system? | autonomic nervous system of CNS |
