Respiration System Flashcards
(17 cards)
Aerobic respiration equation
C6H12O6+6o2= 6co2+6H2o+energy
Anaerobic respiration equation in muscle
C6h12o6= 2c3h6o3+ energy
Anaerobic respiration in yeast
C6h12o6=2c2h5oh+2co2+energy
Anaerobic respiration in yeast
C6h12o6=2c2h5oh+2co2+energy
What is oxygen debt?
When the body needs extra oxygen to recover from how much lactic acids the body have because of how much the body respire anaerobically during an intense exercise
How to get rid of lactic acid?
We can break down lactic acids from our body by respiring normally or aerobically. That’s why we have “oxygen debt” after an exercise, to get rid or the lactic acid.
How can lactic acids affect our body
It’s a toxic substance that can poison our muscle or cause cramps
State 7 uses of energy in our body.
- To move (muscle contraction or relaxation)
- To help create or repair cells
- For protein synthesizing (to make hormones,enzymes & antibodies)
- To grow
- To digest foods
- Sending impulse through nerves
- To keep the body temperature stable
State four ways the alveoli is adapted to its task
- Large surface area
- Surrounded by blood vessels (capillaries)
- Moist surfaces
- Thin wall
Inspiration/inhaling process
- External intercostal muscle and diaphragm contract, while internal intercostal muscle relax
- Chest volume increase
- The pressure inside decreases which sucks the air (oxygen needed for respiration process) into the body (physic. Air goes from high pressure, to low pressure)
- The gas exchange happens
- Expiration/exhale
Expiration/exhale process
- External intercostal muscle & diaphragm relax, while internal intercostal muscle contract
- Less chest volume
- More pressure inside
- The air (carbon dioxide and water aka body waste from respiration process) was blown out (physic. Air goes from high, to low pressure)
- Inspiration/inhale
What is ciliated cells
Cells with hairs to move out pathogens or other foreign items that has been trapped in mucus
What is goblet cell
Cell that produces mucus to trap pathogens. It’s number is lower than ciliated cells
What is vital capacity?
Max air we can breath out after breath in max air we can.
Mention the air’s pathway
Nose-larynx-trachea-bronchus-bronchioles-alveolus
Why do we need to respire
To get energy to stay alive
Where does the extra water vapor and carbon dioxide come from when we exhale?
From the byproduct of respiration that our body doesn’t need
