The Respiratory System
Cards in this deck (17)
- 1Remember Breathing is NOT Respiration!! What is the main organ of the Respiratory System?The Lungs
- 2Label the diagram of the Respiratory SystemNasal Cavity
Mouth
Epiglottis
Trachea
Bronchioles
Bronchi
Alveoli
- 3What protects the lungs from infection?Specialised Cells :
* Mucus Cells
*Cilia Cells - 4Which cells produce mucus to trap harmful substances?Mucus Cells
- 5There are hairlike structures which push the dirty mucus out. What are they called?Cilia Cells
- 6What is the process of taking in air and filling up the lungs called?Inhaling
- 7What is the process of removing air from the lungs called?Exhaling
- 8What does a person inhale? Where does this happen?Oxygen
Nasal Cavity or Mouth - 9What does a person exhale?Carbon Dioxide
- 10Mention the way through which oxygen passes until it arrives at the alveoli.1. The nasal cavity or mouth
2. Trachea/windpipe
3. Bronchi
4. The bronchioles
5. Alveoli - 11What happens while the ALVEOLI are filled with oxygen?The first part of Gas Exchange:
* Oxygen is transported to the blood
* From the blood oxygen goes to different cells - 12Carbon Dioxide is transported back to the alveoli. What happens in the alveoli and why?Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli. Now carbon dioxide is exhaled.
- 13Respiration takes place because.......Oxygen gets to the cells to allow burning of Glucose
- 14Oxygen combines with Glucose. What does this produce?Carbon dioxide, water and energy
- 15What are the unwanted products of respiration?Carbon Dioxide and water
- 16Which processes are essential for respiration to take place?Digestion and Breathing
- 17Is smoking healthy or harmful to the body?Harmful
Cigarettes contain:
Nicotine - increase the risk of heart attach
Carbon Monoxide - decreases the rate of respiration
Tar - damages the cilia cells
