What is Respiration? |
1. The exchange of gases between an organism and its environment 2. Continuous supply of oxygen is necessary for cells to function |
|
How do we make ATP |
Cellular Respiration |
|
What is Diffusion? |
1. The passive movement of particles (gases from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. Small aquatic organisms undergo gas exchange entirely by simple diffusion 3. Animals have specialized respiratory structure that deliver oxygen to cells and facilitate excretion of carbon dioxide |
|
What are the Pros and Cons of Gas exchange in Air vs. Water |
Pros: (1) Higher concentration of oxygen (2) Oxygen diffuses faster (3) Respiration requires less energy
Cons: Gas exchange must take place across a moist surface, so water loss is an issue. |
|
What are some adaptation for gas exchange |
1. Structures must be moist, and have thin walls through which diffusion can easily occur. 2. As organisms get bigger they need a larger surface area for efficient gas exchange |
|
What are the 4 types of respiratory surfaces |
1. body surface 2. Tracheal tubes 3. Gills 4. Lungs |
|
What is the process of Gas Exchange across the body surface? |
1. Occurs in small animals with a high surface area to volume ratio 2. Have lower oxygen requirements 3. Terrestrial animals must secrete fluid to keep its body surface moist |
|
What is the process of gas exchange across tracheal tubes? |
Spiracles -->Tracheal tubes --> Tracheoles |
|
What organism show gas exchange across tracheal tubes? |
Grasshopers |
|
What organism shows gas exchange across body surface? |
worms |
|
What happens in gas exchange in gills? |
1. It is a counter current gas exchange 2. Blood flows in capillaries moves in the opposite direction to water flow over gill lamellae 3. Oxygen and carbon dioxide move in opposite directions, from higher to lower concentrations by diffusion 4. 80% efficient |
|
How does Gas exchange in bird work? |
1. 1st inhalation brings air into posterior air sacs 2. 1st exhalation brings air into lungs 3. 2nd inhalation brings new air into posterior air sacs and old air into anterior air sacs 4. 2nd exhalation expels old air and brings new air into lungs |
|
how does air pass through mammalian respiratory system? |
Nostril --> nasal cavities--> pharynx --> Larynx --> trachea --> bronchi --> bronchioles --> alveoli |
|
How many lobes does the left lung have? |
2 |
|
How many lobes does the right lung have? |
3 |
|
What cavity are lungs in and what membrane are they covered in? |
Pleural |
|
What is inhalation? |
breathing in |
|
What is exhalation? |
breathing out |
|
What are two ways to increase or decrease thoracic volume? |
1. contraction of intercostal muscles 2. Contraction of diaphram
|
|
What does boyle's law state? |
(Pressure)(volume)/time
( as you breath in your volume of your lungs will increase and due to the more room and the contraction of the diaphragm the pressure will decrease. You take that over time) Vise Versa for exhale |
|
What is Tidal Volume? |
The amount of air moved with each resting breath |
|
What is Vital capacity? |
is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after filling their lungs with air |
|
What is Functional residual capacity? |
the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of normal resting exhalation |
|
What is residual volume? |
the volume of air that remain in the lungs at the end of the maximal expirations |
|
What is Total lung capacity? |
All the air that your lungs could hold |
|
What is inspiratory capacity? |
amount of air that you can take in if you take a deep breath after breathing at a normal rate |
|
Expiratory reserve volume? |
The amount of air you could get rid of after a deep exhale. |
|
What can hemoglobin bind to? |
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen |
|
What does the respiratory pigment in vertbrate blood contain? |
iron |
|
Do external intercostal muscles help with inhalation or exhalation? |
Inhalation |
|
What is Hemoglobin? |
primary vehicle for transporting gases |
|
What is the pigment molecule that invertebrate have? |
Hemocyanin (contains copper) |
|
What is oxyhemoglobin? |
hemoglobin that is bound to oxygen |
|
What does it mean for hemoglobin to bind to oxygen reversibly |
it can bind but it can also unbind (also with carbon) |
|
What is the structure of hemoglobin? |
Made up of two alpha and two beta chains |
|
What is oxygen-carrying capacity? |
maximum amount of oxygen that can be transported by hemoglobin |
|
What is oxygen content? |
Actual amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin |
|
What is percent oxygen saturation? |
1. a ratio of oxygen content to oxygen carrying capacity
|
|
What does the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve show? |
the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen and oxygen saturation of hemoglobin |
|
What is the Bohr effect? |
Oxygen dissociates more readily from hemoglobin as pH decreases |
|
What affects does smoking have on your lungs? |
1. ciliated mucous lining traps inhaled particles 2. inhaling polluted air results in bronchial constriction ~Increased mucous secretion ~ Damage to ciliated cells ~ Coughing |
