Presentation Transcript

  1. What is Respiration? The chemical process of getting energy out of food. Oxygen Energy Food

  2. Gas Exchange • Physical methods that organisms have for obtaining oxygen from their surroundings and removing excess carbon dioxide

  3. Respiratory Surface • When oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between an organism and its environment, the gases pass through a boundary surface • Thin-walled • Moist • In contact with transport system

  4. The Respiratory System has many parts

  5. Nasal Cavity • Is lined with mucous membranes, which warm, moisten and filter the air.

  6. Pharynx • Throat cavity where trachea and esophagus meet. • The epiglottis keeps food from entering the trachea.

  7. Larynx • Is the voice box. • As air is breathed in and out, the vocal cords vibrate to make sounds.

  8. Trachea • Tube lined with rings of cartilage (for strength and support). • Lined with ciliated mucous membranes for trapping microscopic particles.

  9. Bronchi • Tube which enters each lung. Bronchioles • Bronchi subdivide many times forming bronchioles.

  10. Bronchi and Bronchioles

  11. Alveoli • Are at the end of the bronchioles. • Sacs surrounded by capillaries. • This is where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place (respiratory surface).

  12. Surface Area • The alveoli increase the surface area for gas exchange. • The surface area of all the alveoli equals the surface area of a football field!

  13. Diaphragm • A sheet of smooth muscle which changes the size of the chest cavity.

  14. DO NOW: • What are the 3 functions of part A? • What is the name of part B? • What is the name of part C? • What is the name of part D? • What is the name of Part E?

  15. Mechanics of Breathing • Mechanical process of taking air into and out of the lungs

  16. Inhalation • When inhaling, the diaphragm contracts, causing the chest cavity to enlarge. • This contraction creates a vacuum, which pulls air into the lungs.

  17. Exhalation • The diaphragm relaxes and moves up • The volume of the chest cavity decreases • Air is forced out

  18. Chemical Formulas for gas exchange • Oxygen is carried by the red blood cells as oxyhemoglobin [Hb(O2)4] • Carbon dioxide is carried in the form of the bicarbonate ion. CO2 + H2O ----- H2CO3

  19. MALFUNCTIONS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

  20. BRONCHITIS • Inflammation of the linings of the bronchial tubes • Air passages become swollen and clogged with mucus • Causes coughing and breathing difficulty • Caused by bacteria or virus

  21. BRONCHITIS

  22. ASTHMA • A severe allergic reaction. • Constriction of the bronchioles makes breathing difficult.

  23. ASTHMA

  24. EMPHYSEMA • Walls of the alveoli break down • Less respiratory surface • Shortness of breath

  25. PNEUMONIA • Disease caused by bacteria or viruses. • Alveoli fill with fluid. • Prevents gas exchange.

  26. LUNG CANCER • Tumors form in the lungs as a result of uncontrollable cell reproduction.

  27. The diagram below represents part of a capillary in a specific region of the human body. The region labeled X represents part of(1) a glomerulus (2) an alveolus (3) a villus (4) the liver

  28. In humans, gas exchange and gas transport occur as a result of the functioning of a system of (1) phloem tubes (2) lungs and blood vessels (3) ganglia (4) setae
