Answer 6

Lactic acid

Question 7

What are some adaptations of Alveoli?

Answer 7

.Large surface area
.rich blood supply
.1 cell thick

Question 8

What is the definition of diffusion?

Answer 8

Partials moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Question 9

What happens to the oxygen once it is diffused into the blood stream?

Answer 9

Oxygen combines with red blood cells and haemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin.

Question 10

What is the role of haemoglobin?

Answer 10

Carries oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body.

Question 11

What gas’s is diffusing into the blood stream?

Answer 11

Oxygen

Question 12

What gas’s is diffused into the alveoli?

Answer 12

Carbon dioxide

Question 13

What process causes gaseous exchange to occur?

Answer 13

Diffusion

Question 14

Where does the oxygen go once in the blood stream?

Answer 14

Working muscle/ agonist

Question 15

Where are the intercostal muscles?

Answer 15

Muscles that lie in-between the ribs

Question 16

What is the function of the intercostal muscles?

Answer 16

Help to lift the rib cage up during respiration

Question 17

What is the diaphragm?

Answer 17

A muscular portion at the bottom of the lungs

Question 18

What happens to the diaphragm during inhalation?

Answer 18

Contracts and moves downwards

Question 19

What happens to the diaphragm during exhalation?

Answer 19

Relaxes and moves up into a dome shape

Question 20

What happens to the intercostal muscles during inhalation?

Answer 20

Contracts and moves upwards

Question 21

What happens to the intercostal muscles during exhalation?

Answer 21

Relax and move downwards.

Question 22

What is Expiration/Exhalation?

Answer 22

Breathing out

Question 23

What happens during inhalation?

Answer 23

.Contraction of the diaphragm causes it to flatten moving down
.Contraction of the intercostal cause the rib cage to rise
The size of the chest cavity increases

Question 24

What happens when the chest cavity decreases in volume?

Answer 24

Pressure increases and air is expelled from the lungs.

Question 25

What happens during exhalation?

Answer 25

.Diaphragm relaxes and returns to dome shape, pushing up .Intercostals relax and the ribs move downwards .The size of the chest cavity decreases in volume

Question 26

What happens when the chest cavity increases in volume?

Answer 26

Pressure decreases and air rushes into lungs.

Question 27

What is Tidal volume?

Answer 27

Volume of air inspired or expired per breath

Question 28

What happens to Tidal volume during exercise?

Answer 28

Increases as we breath harder

Question 29

What is Expiratory reserve volume?

Answer 29

The amount of air that can be forced out of the lungs after a normal breath.

Question 29

What can the Expiratory reserve volume be as high as?

Answer 29

3000ml

Question 30

What is inspiratory reserve volume?

Answer 30

The amount of air that can be forced into the lungs after a normal breath

Question 30

What is residual volume?

Answer 30

The amount of air left in the lungs after maximal expiration.

Question 31

What happens to tidal volume during exercise?

Answer 31

Increases

Question 32

What happens to expiratory reserve volume during exercise?

Answer 32

Decreases

Question 33

What happens to inspiratory reserve volume during exercise?

Answer 33

Decreases

Question 34

What happens to the residual volume during exercise?

Answer 34

Stays the same

Question 35

What muscles are additionally used whilst breathing in exercise

Answer 35

Sternocleidomastoid, pectorals

Question 36

What happens to the body before exercise?

Answer 36

Anticipatory rise. This is where the hart rate will increase caused by the release of the hormone adrenaline.

Question 37

What is the definition of Anaerobic exercise?

Answer 37

Working for short periods of time at a high intensity without oxygen for energy production.

Question 38

What are some examples of Aerobic respiration?

Answer 38

.walking .jogging .cycling .swimming

Question 39

What is the equation for Aerobic respiration?

Answer 39

glucose + oxygen = energy + carbon dioxide + water

Question 40

What is the equation for Anaerobic respiration?

Answer 40

glucose = energy + lactic acid

Question 41
