respiration | how the body gets oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide |
3 types of respiration | cellular, internal, external |
diaphragm | separates chest cavity from lungs |
oxygen | more in aveoli than in blood |
as carbon dioxide build up in the blood | it turns into bicarbonate ion and ph of blood drops |
oxygen is carried by | hemoglobin |
gas exchange occurs by... | diffusion |
2 phases of breathing | inhalation/exhalation |
bronchi | tubes from the trachea |
alveoli | tiny air sacs in the lungs |
larynx | muscle between the pharynx and trachea |
lungs | spongelike organs where gas exchange takes place |
pharynx | where nose passages and mouth come together |
bronchioles | small tubes from the bronchi |
trachea | main passageway to the lungs |
epiglottis | flap over the top of the larynx |
cellular respiration | cells get energy from glucose |
internal respiration | exchange of gas between blood/body cells |
external respiration | exchange of gas between you/environment |
mucus | moistens, warms and filters air of dust and germs |
