Sections 8.1 -> 8.2 – Respiratory System Read: pages 282 - 289 Answer: Practice Questions: # 1-3 (pg 285) # 1-3 (pg 289) Section Questions: # 1-3, 5, 8, 9 (pg 289/290) Practice Questions (pg 285): 1. Oxygen is essential for survival because the cells of the body obtain energy through cellular respiration, which requires oxygen. 2. Breathing - the movement of gases between the external environment Cellular respiration - the breakdown of glucose within cells of the body producing ATP, a compound that is used by cell as energy for life activities 3. Increasing the size of the respiratory membrane provides more surface area for the diffusion of gases. Practice Questions (pg 289): 1. Cilia remove foreign particles, which become entrapped in the mucous that lines the respiratory tract. 2. The nasal cavities open into an air-filled channel in the mouth called the pharynx. Two openings branch from the pharynx: the trachea (windpipe), which carries air to the lungs and the esophagus, which carries food to the stomach. The epiglottis is a flap-like structure that covers the opening of the trachea when food is swallowed; it enables food to enter the esophagus rather than the trachea. 3. Oxygen moves through the mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, and bronchiole into an alveolus. The oxygen molecule diffuses out of the alveolus into blood in a capillary and attaches to the hemoglobin on a red blood cell. Section Questions (pg 289/290): 1. Bronchi and bronchioles are tube-shaped and both have many layers of cells. Only the bronchi have cartilaginous rings. The alveoli have a single layer of cells and are blind-ended sacs, not tube-shaped. The tube-shaped bronchi and bronchioles are well suited as air passages; the sac shape of the alveoli provides an increased surface area that permits rapid gas exchange. 2. Oxygen moves from atmospheric air across the alveoli into the blood. Carbon dioxide moves from the blood across the alveoli into the atmosphere. These gas exchanges occur because oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. 3. The swelling of the larynx caused by the infection produces lowerpitched sounds. 5. Pleurisy is the inflammation of the pleural membranes and the buildup of fluids in the chest cavity. It is most often caused when the two membranes rub together. This buildup of fluids puts great pressure on the lungs, making expiration easier but inspiration much more difficult. 8. Narrower airways decrease airflow during inhalation and exhalation. 9. Less blood flow means fewer blood cells deliver oxygen to the cells of the body. Less oxygen means a decrease in the amount of cellular respiration and a drop in energy reserves.
