have the same volume as the original model. Q1. Use a piece of A4 paper to make a box with a length of 10cm and a width of 3cm. Then find the volume of the box and the total surface area of the paper used to make the box. T.S.A: 5 rectangles and 4 squares 5 x L x W + 4W = 5 x 10 x 3 + 4 x 9 = 186cm Volume: 5 rectangles and 4 squares L x W x H = 10 x 3 x 3 = 90cm Q2. Make another box with the same general shape‚ but chose a different length and width. Then find the volume of the box and

The objective of this report is to critically explain the physiological effects of exercise on the human respiratory system and cardiovascular system. To begin with‚ I will explain the two systems‚ their specific functions and how they inter-relate. I will then go on to analyse the effects of exercise on the two systems by looking at the way in which the body deals with an increased workload‚ and any health issues that may affect this. Cardiovascular system This system is responsible for pumping

Research Paper The Respiratory System As humans‚ our body is made out of different systems‚ which work together to make us live day by day. One major system is the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes the nose (the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses)‚ pharynx (throat)‚ larynx (voice box)‚ trachea (windpipe)‚ bronchi‚ and the lungs. The respiratory system begins from our respiratory tracts that carry air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs. Respiratory tract can be divided

The human body requires many things to function. One of the most important requirements is oxygen. Oxygen is used by the entire body to make energy. The Respiratory System collects and filters the air we breath to get that precious oxygen. The respiratory(breathing) process begins when you inhale and air is taken in through the mouth and/or nose. The air flows into the pharynx(throat) and enters the trachea(windpipe). The air then flows into one of two bronchi‚ left bronchus and right bronchus.

Alveolar Surface Tension and Surfactant in the Compliance of the Lungs Alveolar surface tension is important for the lungs to function efficiently. Surfactant is a lining in the alveoli made of lipids and proteins. Surface tension of the alveoli are important to keep the alveoli shape‚ but surfactant is needed to regulate surface tension. Also surface tension promotes movement of fluids across the alveolar membrane‚ therefore the surfactant also regulates the movement of fluids. Attraction of

Krisha A. Aguilar Prof. Ivan Marcelo Duka G-7L BIO 2 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The Respiratory system consists of organs and tissues that aid the oxygen to travel in the body and emits the waste gases out of the body. It is also called as the oxygen delivery system for it is the system responsible in delivering the oxygen to all parts of the body. The process of breathing‚ the inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide‚ is called respiration. Respiration can be described

The Respiratory System The human respiratory system plays a very important part in our bodies. Without it‚ we wouldn’t be alive! We need air to move through our bodies at all times. Breathing‚ is a key necessity for life. Our respiratory system is made up of many organs that all work together. The goal of breathing is to deliver oxygen to the body and take away carbon dioxide. The respiratory system organs all work together‚ like a engine in a car‚ they all have a important role. Some

The respiratory system is an intricate network of organs all working together to insure a constant flow of gases‚ oxygen and carbon dioxide‚ to keep the body functioning at rest or during exertion’ (ehow). The respiratory system is made up of the nose‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ diaphragm and lungs. The aim of this assignment is to look at the structure and functions of the respiratory system and also provide an illustration of the respiratory system.. The lungs are an integral part of the human body‚
