    Study Notes

    Respiration

    • Respiration is a series of chemical reactions occurring inside every living cell.
    • Aerobic respiration uses oxygen, producing carbon dioxide as a waste product.
    • Air contains oxygen; breathing takes air into the lungs, allowing oxygen to enter the bloodstream.
    • Blood delivers oxygen to cells for respiration.
    • Blood carries carbon dioxide waste from cells back to the lungs.
    • The respiratory system encompasses organs involved in oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal.

    Human Respiratory System Structure

    • A diagram shows the respiratory system's structures.
    • White spaces represent airways (bronchi and bronchioles) that carry air to and from the lungs.
    • The trachea, sometimes called the windpipe, has rings of cartilage to prevent collapse, enabling airflow.
    • The trachea branches into two bronchi, one for each lung, which further divide into smaller bronchioles.
    • Bronchioles lead to tiny air sacs called alveoli (air sacs), where gas exchange occurs.
    • Blood capillaries surround alveoli to facilitate oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.

    Gas Exchange in Air Sacs

    • The alveoli's thin walls (single layer of cells) facilitate rapid gas exchange.
    • Oxygen moves from the air sacs to the blood.
    • Carbon dioxide moves from the blood to the air sacs.
    • Blood arriving at the lungs has less oxygen and more carbon dioxide.
    • Air in the alveoli has more oxygen and less carbon dioxide.
    • Diffusion moves gases across the thin cell layers.

    Breathing

    • Breathing involves the diaphragm and intercostal muscles.
    • Inhaling: intercostal muscles contract, raising ribs; diaphragm contracts, expanding the chest cavity; reduced pressure allows air to enter the lungs.
    • Exhaling: intercostal muscles relax, lowering ribs; diaphragm relaxes, decreasing chest cavity volume; increased pressure pushes air out of the lungs.

    Blood

    • Blood plasma is mainly water, carrying glucose and carbon dioxide.
    • Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, responsible for transporting oxygen.
    • White blood cells defend against pathogens.
    • Red blood cells lack nuclei and mitochondria, maximizing space for hemoglobin.

    Delivering Requirements for Respiration in Cells

    • Cells need energy for survival.
    • Respiration, a chemical reaction in mitochondria, provides this energy.
    • Glucose and oxygen are crucial reactants, while carbon dioxide and water are products.
    • Blood circulates constantly, transporting glucose, oxygen, and waste products.

    Using Energy to Stay Alive

    • Energy for bodily functions comes from food (carbohydrates).
    • Digestive system converts carbohydrates into glucose.
    • Glucose enters bloodstream, supplying cells with energy.
    • Mitochondria, within cells, use oxygen and glucose for aerobic respiration, generating ATP (energy).
