Q

What is oxygen debt

A

When latic acid is transport to the heart liver and kidney, oxygen is needed to oxidised it. The extra oxygen needed to do this is oxygen debt
-> we keep breathing heavily ager exercise

Q

Describe mucus and cilia

A

The cilia cells sweep away any unwanted microbes or particles out of our lungs and airway
It sweep back and forward to brush mucus up the lungs into the mouth
Scatter between cilia cells are cells that produce mucus
Mucus trap any unwanted particles

Q

Describe inspiration

A
External muscle contract
Internal intercostal muscle relax
Ribs upward and out ward
Diaphragm contract and flatten
Increase the volume inside the thorax -> pressure decrease -> air move into the lung

Q

Describe expiration

A

Internal intercostal contact, external relax
Lower the ribs down and inward
Muscle in the diaphragm relax and bulges up due to pressure from the organ
Decrease the volume inside the thorax, pressure goes up and Air Force out

Q

The uses of energy in the body of humans

A

Muscle contraction, protein synthesis, cell division, active transport, growth, the passage of nerve impulses and the maintenance of a constant body temperature

Q

Features of gas exchange surfaces

A

Wall of the alveoli are made from a single layer of cells - allow gases to easily diffuse
Alveoli have a moist lining- cells die if not kept moist
Large sa - lungs contain a lot of alveoli allowing for more gas to be exchanged
A good blood supply so that lots of oxygen is removed quickly and lots of carbon dioxide is supplied quickly -> maintain the concentration gradients for these gases

Q

Effect of physical activity on carbon dioxide concentration and pH in tissues and in the blood

A

Exercise -> tissues respire more quickly and make more co2 which lowers the pH in the tissues and the blood
Brain detects this rise in co2 and the lowering of pH of the blood reaching it ( they may also make lactic acid)
-> brain sends nerve impulses to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles so they contract faster and further to increase rate and depth of breathing
-> lower conc. of co2 and higher the pH back to normal
