Study Notes
Respiratory Processes
- Exhalation: The passive process for expelling air from the body.
- Inhalation: The active process of drawing air into the body.
Anatomy of the Respiratory System
- Epiglottis: Flap that prevents food from entering the air passage during swallowing.
- Vocal cords: Located in the larynx, responsible for sound production.
- Diaphragm: Dome-shaped muscle that aids in the breathing process.
- Pharynx: Last part of the conducting portion that can handle food, water, and air.
Conducting Structures
- Trachea: Also known as the windpipe; connects the larynx to the bronchi.
- Bronchi: Major air passages that branch into each lung.
- Bronchioles: Smaller branches in the lungs leading to alveoli.
- Larynx: First part of the conducting portion, primarily for air passage.
Gas Exchange Structures
- Alveoli: Tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs.
- Gills: Respiratory structures used by aquatic animals for oxygen absorption.
Respiratory Mechanisms
- Spiracles: Openings on the body of insects that allow air to enter and exit the tracheae.
- Tracheae: Small, highly branched pipes utilized by insects for respiration.
- Bulk flow: The process by which oxygen moves during inhalation and circulation.
Blood Components
- Hemoglobin: Protein in the blood responsible for oxygen transport.
Respiratory Control
- Respiratory center: Brain region responsible for regulating the breathing process.
Terminology and Concepts
- Gas exchange: The diffusion process that occurs at large moist surface areas for oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Conducting portion: One of the two general parts of the mammalian respiratory system, focused on air passage rather than gas exchange.
- Respiration: The main topic of the chapter, encompassing all aspects of breathing and gas exchange.
