1.
Air enters through the _ and_: mouth and nose
2.
alveoli: in the alveoli, O2 is exchanged with CO2
3.
breathing: breathing is the process of inhaling and exhaling. This brings air from the environment into the body and back out again.
LUNGS ARE NOT MUSCLES
breathing is controlled by the diaphragm and other muscles
4.
bronchioles: bronchioles ends in air sacks call alveoli. This is where O2 is delivered to the circulatory system and CO2 is returned
5.
cellular respiration: requires CO2
CO2 is a waste product of cellular respiration
cellular respiration changes food molecules into energy you can use (ATP)
glucose + O2 = ATP + H20 + C02
6.
diaphragm: dome shaped muscle that sits right under the heart and lungs
makes you breathe-When the diaphragm contracts (shortens) it flattens and makes more room inside the rib cage. This cause the lungs to "suck in" air (inhaling). When the diaphragm relaxes it returns back to a dome shape, making the room inside the rib cage less and "pushes" air out (exhaling).
7.
epiglottis: it passes a flap of skin called the epiglottis and moves through the larynx
purpose- when you swallow food, it does not get into your respiratory tract, (dont choke)
8.
functions: breathing-bring air into and out of the lungs
transfer O2 to the circulatory system
remove CO2 waste
9.
larynx: the larynx, or voice box, is a thick band of cartilage that protects your vocal cords
10.
lungs: in the lungs, the bronchi splits into smaller branches called bronchioles
11.
parts: mouth and nose
pharynx
epiglottis
larynx
trachea
lung
bronchioles
alveoli
diaphragm
12.
path oxygen takes to get from the outside air to the blood: mouth/nose>pharynx>larynx>trachea>bronchioles (in lungs)>alveoli>capillaries>heart
13.
pharynx: it is warmed and moves to the back of the throat called the pharynx
14.
trachea: from the larynx, air moves down the trachea, a tube that splits into to the bronchi and enters the lungs
