Internal respiration – exchange of gases between the blood and the body tissues. 2. External respiration – exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the blood. This involves the lungs. Breathing is a mechanical process that helps get air into and out of the lungs. It consists of two stages: inspiration – intake of air and expiration – breathing out of air. What is a diaphragm? - A large flat muscle that separates the chest from the abdominal cavity - Primary muscle used in respiration What is a diaphragm? - A large flat muscle that separates the chest from the abdominal cavity - Primary muscle used in respiration Mechanism of breathing - Carbon dioxide level in the blood stimulates breathing - When the concentration of carbon dioxide reaches a higher than normal level, the breathing centre of the brain is stimulated and a signal is conveyed to the diaphragm, which contracts (moves down). - The ribs and the lungs are able to expand. - Air rushes in through the nose or mouth to fill the extra volume available in the lungs. - This whole process is called breathing in, inspiration or inhalation Mechanism of breathing - When the signal from the breathing centre of the brain stops, the diaphragm relaxes and the rib cage is moved down and inward. - The volume of the chest cavity is reduced and air is forced out of the lungs. - This is called breathing out, exhalation or expiration. Inhalation (inspiration) (i) The diaphragm muscle contracts and moves down. (ii) The external intercostal muscles contract and pull the rib cage upwards and outwards. (iii) Therefore the volume of the thorax increases (and so the lung expands). (iv) This decreases the air pressure in the alveoli, so (v) Air flows in to equalise the pressure. Exhalation (expiration) (i) The diaphragm muscles relax, allowing the diaphragm to return to its curved shape. (ii) The internal intercostal muscles contract, pulling the ribs downwards. (iii) Therefore, the volume of the thorax decreases (and so the lung contract and get smaller) (iv) This increases the air pressure in the alveoli, so. (v) Air flows out to equalise the pressure. CHANGES ON THE COMPOSITION OF BREATHED AIR Gaseous exchange - takes place in the lungs and in the cells of the body. - The structure of the lung is adapted to fulfil the function of gaseous exchange. - alveoli look like small grape-like structures made up of many individual air sacs. - A big network of capillaries surrounds each alveolus. What is the common thing between the astronaut and the deep sea diver? Astronaut Deep Sea Diver Both the astronaut and diver are experiencing change in air pressure, and it’s hard for them to breathe. They need oxygen tank as source of air ( oxygen).
