Respiratory System: Study Guide The respiratory system provides for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide of the body. - In terrestrial vertebrae’s‚ the respiratory system includes 3 steps: 1. Breathing: Inspiration (inhaling oxygen) and Expiration (exhaling carbon dioxide) 2. External exchange- Gas exchange between the AIR and BLOOD in lungs. Blood then transfers oxygen to the tissue cells. 3. Internal exchange- Gas exchange between the BLOOD & TISSUE FLUID and between the CELLS & TISSUE FLUID

11Circulatory and Respiratory Flipped Resources Student Learning Objectives Central Concepts: There is a relationship between the organization of cells into tissues and the organization of tissues into organs. The structures and functions of organs determine their relationships within body systems of an organism. Homeostasis allows the body to perform its normal functions. Explain how the circulatory system (heart‚ arteries‚ veins‚ capillaries‚ red blood cells) transports nutrients and oxygen to cells and removes cell wastes

Respiratory disease Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms‚ and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ alveoli‚ pleura and pleural cavity‚ and the nerves and muscles of breathing. Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting‚ such as the common cold‚ to life-threatening entities like bacterial pneumonia‚ pulmonary embolism

Chapter 11 ARDS INTRODUCTION Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - lung inflammation seen at the level of the alveolar capillary membrane with increased vascular permeability. ARDS results in: bilateral pulmonary edema and atelectasis despite no evidence of left heart failure (e.g.‚ normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). ARDS is present when the ALI results in such severe hypoxia that at the PaO2/FIO2 ratio is 200 mm Hg or less. Approximately 10% to 15% of intensive care

The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood vessels‚ which are divided into arteries‚ veins and capillaries. The blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to the cells in the body. The arteries carry blood away from the heart and the veins carry it back to the heart. Capillaries are found in the muscles and the lungs‚ they have valves to stop the blood flowing backwards and this is also where gaseous exchange takes place. The heart works as a pump that pushes blood to the organs‚ tissues

represent the respiratory system. The function of the bronchi is to distribute oxygen throughout the lungs. I chose to illustrate a woman with her head tilted upwards‚ with flowers blossoming out of her mouth‚ and leaves flowing down her neck. A flower’s use of photosynthesis served as my inspiration. In photosynthesis‚ the plant will absorb carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Then we will breathe this oxygen back into our lungs and release carbon dioxide as we breathe out. This system is interesting
