Study Notes
Cellular Respiration
- Fermentation, specifically alcoholic fermentation, results in the production of ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and 2 ATP.
Muscle Cell Metabolism
- Human muscle cells primarily utilize lactic acid fermentation for ATP production during high-intensity, short-duration activities.
Respiratory System
- Alveoli, located at the end of bronchioles, are the part of the respiratory tract responsible for the actual exchange of gases.
Lung Structure
- The pleura/pleural membranes, a double-layered membrane, protects the lungs and encloses them.
Oxygen Transport
- Hemoglobin, a respiratory pigment present in red blood corpuscles, exhibits a high affinity to oxygen.
