Breathing the mechanism

1. Define the term breathing

2. Outline the sequence of events that occur in the process of breathing

3. Describe the sequence of events when breathing in / inhalation*

4. Outline the path taken by air from outside into the lungs

5. describe the function of the following parts

a. larynx

b. c shaped cartilage of the trachea

c. goblet cells and ciliated epithelial cells of the windpipe

6. This structure forms a seal around the lungs. and secretes fluid that lubricates the surface of the lungs that is in contact with the inner surface of the rib cage---what is the _______________________

7. Explain the difference between inhaled air and exhaled air.

· BREATHING IS A mechanism by which air is brought into and removed from the lungs.

· 1: muscles contract and relax

2: movement of the rib cage and diaphragm

3: volume changes

4; pressure changes

5: air movement

· 1: external intercostal muscles contract

Internal intercostals relax

Diaphragm contracts

2: rib cage expands up and out

Diaphragm drops

3: volume of thoraxic cavity increases

4: pressure decreases below external pressure

5: air rushes into the lungs and it inflates

· nose and nasal cavity
Pharynx at the back
Larynx / voice box area
Trachea / wind pipe
Left & right bronchi
Branching bronchioles
Alveoli / air sacs

· 1. It is the voice box that contains the vocal cords. These vibrate creating sound when air is passed through

2. These support the trachea leaving space for is to expand when filled with air

3. These trap air contaminants in mucus and sweep it all up to be swallowed.

· pleural membrane and pleural fluid

· inhaled air has

1. More oxygen 20% vs. 16%

2. More moisture

3. More contaminants

4. Less carbon dioxide 0.3/0.4% vs. 4%

5. Irregular temperature vs. warm body temperature range

Gaseous exchange

1. define a gaseous exchange surface

2. describe some properties that a g.e.s. must have if it depends on slow passive diffusion for movement

3. describe the gaseous exchange surface of

a. plants

b. Amoeba

c. worms

4. describe the gaseous exchange surface of

a. insects

b. fish

c. mammals

· a surface adapted for the diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen

· 1. it should be thin ensuring a short distance for travel of the gases

2. it should have a large surface area to maximize absorption

3. it should be moist as gases diffuse faster when dissolved in a liquid

4. close to a rapid transport system to move gases to cells quickly and maintain a steep concentration gradient at the surface

· 1. stomata pores on the under surface of leaves that allow air to flow into the air spaces of the mesophyll layer

2. The cell surface membrane where gas diffuse across

3. Moist skin as the worm lives in the soil. Surface cells also secrete mucus for easier diffusion

· 4. tracheal system starting with outer pores into air channels and chambers throughout the insects body

5. Gill lamellae that is inflated by oxygenated water

6. Alveoli air sacs that are filled with oxygen rich air at inhalation
