what is the four stages of breathing

breathing


external respiration


internal respiration


cellular respiration

define breathing

movement of air in and out of the lungs

define external respiration

exchange of oxygen and CO2 in the lungs

define internal respiration

exchange of oxygen and CO2 in the blood and tissues

define cellular respration

oxidation of glucose for energy

define nasal passage

warms, moistens and filters air

define pharynx

connects nasal passageway to larynx and is filled with mucus

define larynx

composed of 2 thin sheets of elastic ligaments and is also filled with musucs




connects to the trachea

define epiglotis

epiglottis is the flap at the top of the trachea and bottom of the larynx

define trachea

extends from the larynx to the chest cavity and carries air to the bronchi

define bronchi

branches into 2 routs separating air to each lung

define bronchioles

small bronchi that transfer air inside the lungs, they also increase SA/V ratio

define alveoli

site of gas exchange at the end of bronchioles

define lungs

right lung has 3 lobes and left has 2 lobes


conatins cilia and mucus

what is the order air travels in respiratory track

nose -> nasla cavity -> pharynx -> larynx -> trachea -> bronchi -> bronchioles -> alveoli -> lung capillaries

define tidal volume

amount of air moved in normal breathing at rest

define expiratory reserve volume

extra air used during deep breathing

define inspiratory reserve volume

extra available air used during exercise

define residual volume

volume of gas remaining in kings after maximum expiration

define vital capacity

expiratory and inspiratory reserve and tidal volume

define lung capacity

exiratory and inspiratory reserve


tidal volume


residual volume

how is gas exchanged in the lung externally

through the alveoli and capillaries through diffusion

how is gas exchanged in the lung internally

within tissues CO2 and O2 are exchanged

how are CO2 and O2 transferred in the blood

hemoglobin allows red blood cells to carry O2 more efficiently



what is the majority of CO2 found in the form of

bicarbonate

what affect can smoking have on your respiratory system

kills cilia




tar from cigarettes can coat lungs and bronchi making them very stiff

define emphysema

loss of elasticity of the alveoli



define inhalation

air enters the lungs when ribs move up and out and diaphragm contracts

define exhalation

air is pushed out when rib cage moves down and in and diaphragm relaxes and moves up

describe external respiration

occurs between alveoli and capillaries, blood moves out of them being rich in CO2, as it moves through lung capillaries it collects O2 and CO2 diffuses out of the blood

describe internal respiration

occurs between the capillaries and body tissues, oxygen diffuses from blood to tissues in need of oxygen and CO2 diffuses from tissues into the blood.

define diaphragm

separates the lung region from the region of the stomach and liver




its a muscle that contracts and relaxes with breathing
