The trachea has rings of cartilage to: a. Allow the trachea to close when air is not present b. Keep the trachea open for continuous air flow c. Allow the trachea to close when food is not present d. Keep the trachea open for continuous food flow
Differentiate External from Internal respiration based on their: 1. Description 2. Location 3. Oxygen Diffusion 4. Oxygen Partial Pressure 5. Carbon Dioxide Diffusion 6. CARBON DIOXIDE PARTIAL PRESSURE 7. ACTIVE OR PASSIVE PROCESS? 8. MECHANICAL OR CHEMICAL PROCESS? 9. PRODUCTS
1. Respiration/Breathing = gas exchange 2. What process uses up oxygen and produces carbon dioxide in the tissues. Answer: Cellular respiration 3. Know the terms: alveoli, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus (bronchi), bronchiole, diaphragm, hemoglobin, myoglobin, partial pressure 4. Function of respiratory system, function of cilia and mucus in the respiratory passageways 5. List the air passageways of the human respiratory system from nostril to alveoli? 6. Where in the respiratory system does the actual gas exchange happen? 7. How is the diaphragm and intercostal muscles involved in breathing? 8. By what process do gases (O2 and CO.) move from alveolar air space into the blood and from blood into the interstitial fluids? Ans: Diffusion 9. What gas moves from the alveoli to the capillaries? 10. What gas moves from the muscle cells to the capillaries? (keep in mind that gases move from a high partial pressure to low partial pressure) 11. 99% of oxygen gets transported by _(be…
