What is the name of the pipe containing c-shaped rings of cartilage? Also known as the wind pipe
Trachea
What are the two branches that allow air to travel into the left and right lung called?
Bronchi
The little air-filled sacs surrounded in capillaries. They are the site of gas exchange.
Alveoli
What gases are being exchanged in alveoli? What is diffusing into the blood and what is diffusing out?
Oxygen diffusing into blood. Carbon dioxide diffusing out of blood.
The smaller branched structures that occur throughout the lung. They connect the bronchi to the alveoli.
Bronchioles
What is the respiration word equation? Bonus points for where each comes from or goes
Glucose + Oxygen ---> Energy + Water + Carbon dioxide
What happens to the function of the lung if it is stabbed?
It will no longer inflate. This could lead to the person/animal dying due to lack of oxygen
What do red blood cells do?
Transport oxygen through the body and carbon dioxide to the alveoli for gas exchange
Which blood vessel has the largest lumen (opening where blood flows through)?
Vein
What is the role of the ventricle? Think about how muscular it is
Pump blood from the heart through the arteries
What is the atrium for?
The waiting room for blood - blood will collect there until the valve releases it into the ventricle
True or False: The right side of the heart contains oxygenated blood
False - it contains deoxygenated blood
What is the job of the valve?
Separate the atriums, ventricles, aorta and pulmonary arteries from each other so blood can not travel through continuously
Which blood vessel carries blood away from the heart? They are typically oxygenated.
Arteries
Which type of blood vessel has the thinnest walls?
The capillaries
What is diffusion?
Moving of particles from high concentration to low concentration
