RespirationRespiration

A. Purpose: A. Purpose: to exchange gases to exchange gases

between blood and between blood and

external environmentexternal environment

B. Why? B. Why? oxygen is needed to release energy from food by the process of cellularrespiration: CC66HH1212OO66 + 6O + 6O22 6CO 6CO22 + 6H + 6H22O + O + 36ATP36ATP

C. How?C. How?

Gases move across a moist barrier (alveoli) called the respiratory surface

Diffusion of gases (high to low concentration) thru the capillaries

Lined with cilia , warms, moistens and filters incoming air

Windpipe made of cartilage

Two main branches that enter lungs

Small air tubes that SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE LUNG• Tiny air sacs located at

the end of bronchioles • Site of gas exchange

1. End products** The end products of aerobic cellular respiration, water and carbon dioxide diffuse into the blood. Then these waste gases are released from the lungs.

1) Inhalation (active process)• Diaphragm FLATTENS AND CONTRACTS • Air rushes into lungs through the respiratory

tubes,• Chest cavity EXPANDS

Breathing and Breathing and maintaining Homeostasismaintaining Homeostasis

controlled by the concentration of CO2

If CO2 is high, breathing rate fast

If CO2 is low, breathing rate is slow

E. Respiratory Homeostasis Disorders

1. PneumoniaAlveoli fill with fluids and mucus resulting in coughing and breathing difficulties

2. AsthmaAllergic reaction in which bronchiole contractions create breathing difficulties

3. EmphysemaAir sacs lose their elasticity and breakdown resulting in a loss of respiratory surface in the lungs

1. Not smoking – first and second hand smoke are damaging

2. Stay away from pollutants3. Wash hands when possible

F. Preventing respiratory disease
