Breathing
SCI JC 2ND YR
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Respiration | The release of energy from food |
| 2 types of respiration | Anaerobic respiration (No Oxygen), Aerobic respiration (Needs oxygen) |
| Advantages of nose breathing | Moistens and warms up air, filters with hairs |
| What is the Trachea | Carries oxygen to lungs, supported by cartilage rings |
| What is the Bronchus | Divides trachea into 2 lungs |
| What are the Bronchioles | Branch of form Bronchus carry oxygen to alveoli |
| What are the Alveoli | Air sacks in the lungs, millions of them. Where gas exchange (diffusion takes place). Surrounded by capillaries |
| What comes in and out of blood | Oxygen in, CO2 out |
| What happens after inhalation | Oxygen is used in respiration in cells and the by-products are water vapour and CO2. These are exhaled |
| What is the Diaphram | A sheet of muscle the moves oxygen and CO2 in and out of lungs |
| What is the Epiglotes | It covers the trachea when eating |
| Function of intercostal muscle and ribs | The move up and out during inhalation to pull air in. They move in and down to push air out when exhaling. |
| Explain whole process | Nose -> Trachea and epiglottis -> Bronchus -> Bronchioles -> Alveoli -> Capillaries -> Cells -> By product out |
| Effect of exercise on breathing | More energy is needed and more CO2 is made, increasing breathing |
| How to test for CO2 | Limewater will turn milky white in contact with CO2 |
| What is Energy | The ability to do work |
| Formula for aerobic respiration | Glucose + Oxygen -> CO2, Water Vapour, Energy |
| What is Anaerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration is the release of energy from food without oxygen |
| Why is respiration a bi-chemical process | It is biological because it involves living things and chemical as their is a chemical reaction |
| What effects Respiration | Glucose levels, Oxygen levels and the temperature |
| What causes cramps | Build up of lactic acid in muscles due to lack of O2 |
