15
Q

What happens to the trachea?

A

Beaches into two bronchi

16
Q

How many bronchus goes into each lung?

A

One in each lung

17
Q

What comes after the bronchus?

A

Smaller and smaller tubes called bronchioles

18
Q

What is the pleural membrane?

A

line the lung and inside the rib cage

19
Q

What happens to reduce the lungs rubbing off the rib cage?

A

The plural Cavity contains plural fluid

This lubricates the inside of the lungs as they inflate and deflate

20
Q

What is ventilation?

A

Getting air into and out of the lungs

21
Q

What is gas exchange?

A

Gases moving into and out of the blood

22
Q

What is inhaling?

A

Breathing in

23
Q

What is exhaling?

A

Breathing out

24
Q

What happens when you inhale?

A
  • Intercostal muscles contract and ribs move up and out
  • Volume in chest cavity increases
  • Diaphragm flattens
25
Q

What happens when you exhale?

A
  • Intercostal muscles relax and ribs move down and in
  • Volume in chest cavity decreases
  • Diaphragm move up into a dome shape
26
Q

What is gas exchange2?

A

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveolus oxygen will defuse from the high concentration in the blood and carbon dioxide which is a product of respiration will defuse from the low concentration

27
Q

What is concentration?

A

The amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide

28
Q

What is diffusion?

A

The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
