Resumen del Recurso
GCSE AQA Biology 3 The Breathing System
The lungs
Are in the thorax - top part of your body
Separated from lower part of body (abdomen) by diaphragm
Lungs are big, pink sponges - protected by ribcage
Air breathed in goes into trachea which splits into 2 tubes called bronchi...
...which are split into smaller tubes called bronchioles which end at alveoli (where gas exchange happens)
Ventilation is...
...breathing in
1) Intercostal muscles & diaphragm contract
Nota:
Muscles between ribs pull ribcage & sternum up & out, diaphragm flattens out
2) Thorax volume increases
3) Pressure decreases, drawing air in
...breathing out
1) Intercostal muscles & diaphragm relax
Nota:
Ribcage and sternum drop in & down
2) Thorax volume decreases
3) Pressure increases, forcing air out
Artificial ventilators
Machines that move air into/out of lungs - help people who can't breathe by themselves
In the past, they used to be giant case (iron lung) - air was pumped out of case so pressure dropped, lungs expanded & air was drawn in
Air pumped in had opposite effect, air was forced out of lungs
Could interfere with blood flow to lower body
Nowadays, ventilators work by pumping air into lungs - expands ribcage, when they stop pumping ribcage relaxes, pushing air out
Don't interfere with blood flow but can cause damage (e.g. burst alveoli)
