Rh factor
Rh factor
A protein found on the surface of red blood cells. People are either Rh+ (have the protein) or Rh- (don't).
Rh+ blood type
Rh+ blood type
Blood type containing the Rh antigen (protein).

Study Notes
Blood and Rh Factor
- Rh factor is found in the blood of Rhesus monkeys
- Most people are Rh+ and possess the Rh antigen
- Some people are Rh- and do not possess the Rh antigen
- If a father is Rh+ and a mother is Rh-, a fetus may be Rh+
Respiratory System Anatomy
- Nasal Cavity: Part of the respiratory system
- Pharynx: Part of the respiratory system
- Larynx: (Voice box): Part of the respiratory system
- Trachea: Part of the respiratory system
- Bronchi: Two branches from the trachea
- Bronchioles: Smaller branches from the bronchi
- Alveoli: Air sacs in the lungs, facilitate gas exchange
- Pleura: Protective membranes around the lungs
- Thin walls allow for easy gas diffusion
- Moist surfaces help dissolve gases
- Capillaries facilitate gas exchange
- Tracheal Cartilage: Rings of cartilage in the trachea to keep it open
Control of Breathing
- Breathing is regulated by the medulla (a part of the brain)
- The rate of breathing is controlled by the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood.
- Increased CO2 lowers blood pH (making it more acidic)
- The respiratory system increases breathing rate to remove CO2 and prevent blood acidity.
- Haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood, combining loosely with it to form oxyhemoglobin
Respiratory System Diseases and Chemicals
- Emphysema: Lung disease, enlarged lungs due to destroyed elastic tissue, often caused by smoking.
- Chemical Indicator: A chemical that changes color in the presence of specific substances.
- Limewater: Turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Methylene blue: Turns yellow in the presence of CO2 and acids, thus not a good indicator of CO2 alone
Respiratory System Functions
- Gas Exchange: Primary function
- Blood pH Regulation: Maintaining the correct pH
- ATP Production: Essential for energy
Respiration Mechanism
-
Buffer Solutions: Substances that resist changes in pH, keeping it constant.
-
Inhalation (Inspiration):
- Diaphragm: Contracts, enlarging chest cavity
- Rib Muscles: Contract, pulling ribs upward and outward, increasing chest cavity
- Lung Volume: Increases, pressure inside the lungs decreases
- Air Movement: Air flows into the lungs from the atmosphere
-
Exhalation (Expiration):
- Diaphragm: Relaxes, reducing chest cavity size
- Rib Muscles: Relax, moving ribs downward and inward, decreasing chest cavity size
- Lung Volume: Decreases, pressure in lungs increases
- Air Movement: Air flows out of lungs to atmosphere
