Question 1

What do the capillaries do

Answer 1

They work with the alveoli to get oxygen to the working muscles

Question 2

What is the order of the respiratory system

Answer 2

1.nasal cavity
2.pharynx
3.epiglottis
4.larynx
5.trachea
6.bronchus
7.bronchioles
8.diaphragm

Question 3

What happens to the diaphragm when breathing in and out

Answer 3

In= diaphragm contracts
Out= diaphragm relaxes

Question 4

Explain gas exchange

Answer 4

Gases exchange when there is a dissuasion gradient. Gas moves from high concentration to low

Question 5

What is the lung volumes

Answer 5

-tidal volume
-expiratory and inspiratory reserve vols
-vital capacity
-residual vol
-total lung vol

Question 6

What is tidal volume

Answer 6

Amount of air inspired or expired in a normal breath

Question 7

What is vital capacity

Answer 7

Volume of air that can be inspired or expired per breath including forced breathing

Question 8

What is the job of the respiratory system

Answer 8

-take air into the body
-extract some of the oxygen from it
-process of moving air in and out of lungs

Question 9

How does the medulla control breathing

Answer 9

When starting to exercise chemoreceptors detect a increase in Co2 medulla increases breathing rate then the chemoreceptors detect a drop in Co2 and reduces breathing rate

Question 10

2 short term responses

Answer 10

-increase breathing rate
-increase tidal volume

Question 11

2 long term responses

Answer 11

-increase strength of respiratory muscles
-increased vital capacity
