Key Terms — Human Gas Exchange And Respiration Flashcards
(22 cards)
Exothermic
Releases thermal energy
Oxygen debt
Volume of oxygen pan needed to completely break down lactic acid
Hydrogen carbonate indicator
Orange to yellow with high CO2 content
To purple if low CO2 content
Respiration
Release energy from food
Breathing
Sir moving in and out of lungs 4 gas exchange
Larynx
C-shaped rings of cartilage
X close when bent
Trachea
Bronchi
Bronchioles
Alveoli
Air sac
Thorax
Ribcage
Diaphragm
Intercostal muscles
Nicotine
Addictive
Makes you alert
Tar
Brown sticky
Contains many chemicals inc carcinogen (cancer)
Carbon monoxide
Irreversibly binds to haemoglobin
Less oxygen bound
Less aerobic respiration
Bronchitis
Cilia destroyed by heat
X waft mucus up
Bacteria grows in mucus
Infection and inflammation of bronchioles
Emphysema
Walls of alveoli becomes weak and thing
Bronchitis causes coughing which burst them
SA decreased
Less O2 diffusion
Less resp less ATP
Pant
Lung cancer
Tar contains carcinogen which causes mutation
Lung cells divides out of control, cancer
Difficulty breathing (blockage),
Spread unless destroyed
Coronary heart disease
Fatty deposit block
Less glucose and oxygen
Anaerobic
Lactic acid toxic
