Respiratory System Mechanics E X E R C I S E NAME: Ailyn Sedaria-Lapuz LAB TIME/DATE: March 3‚ 2013 1. Define each of the following terms: • respiration : means exchange of gases ( oxygen and carbon dioxide) between a living organism and its environment; Breathing. • ventilation: movement of air in and out of the lungs • alveoli: small air sacs or cavities in the lung that give the tissue a honey comb appearance and expand its surface area for the exchange of oxygen. • diaphragm:

they travel through the organs throughout the digestive system. • Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred energy source‚ and are found in the forms of starch‚ sugar and fibre. Additionally‚ carbohydrates move into the small intestine‚ where enzymes released by the pancreas break those carbohydrates into simple forms‚ so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. • Lipids that are consumed‚ are mainly fats.

Respiratory Volumes Activity 2: Measuring Normal Respiratory Volumes 1. Minute respiratory volume: 7‚500 ml 2. Judging from the trace you generated‚ each inspiration took place over how many seconds? 2 Seconds 3. Each expiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 4. Does the duration of inspiration or expiration vary when you tested/measured the ERV or FVC? Yes Activity 3: Effect of Restricted Air Flow on Respiratory Volumes 1. How does this set of data compare to the

Body Systems Intergumentary- The integumentary system consists of the skin‚ hair‚ nails‚ glands‚ and nerves. The main function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside. It also retains body fluids‚ protects against disease‚ eliminate waste products‚ and regulates the body temperature. Cardio Vascular- The cardiovascular system carries blood‚ oxygen‚ and nutrients to organs and tissues of the body. It also carries waste and carbon dioxide from these tissues for removal from

sinuses? - Since Cari is a smoker‚ cigarette smoke has paralyzed her cilia and stimulated the goblet cells lining her respiratory passages to secrete excess amounts of mucus. Ducts from the sinuses open into the internal nose providing a passageway for microorganisms to travel into the sinuses. B.) What is the couch reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by couching. - A long drawn and deep inhalation followed by a complete closure of the glottis

ear are connected by ducts in the throat. B. What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. a. Cough reflex is a long-drawn and deep inhalation followed by a complete closure of the glottis‚ which results in a strong exhalation that suddenly pushes the glottis open and sends a blast of air through the upper respiratory passages. This process is clearing her lungs by forcing foreign bodies out of the larynx‚ trachea and epiglottis

Systems‚ Topic 1 System - collection of parts working together‚ forming a functioning whole. Three types of systems Open System - exchanges matter and energy with its surroundings‚ ex. Ecosystem * energy from sun‚ converted to sugar by plant‚ plant is eaten by a bug - energy exchange * animals eating each other - matter exchange Closed system - exchanges energy with its surroundings but not matter‚ ex. Biosphere 2 experiment * closed systems do not occur naturally

how close the passages and sinuses are to each other. B. What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. The cough reflex is deep inhalation followed by complete closure of the glottis and strong exhalation suddenly opening the glottis‚ and blasting air through the upper respiratory passages. Cari’s respiratory system is forcing out mucous in order to maintain enough space within her lungs for oxygen. C. Which structures found in

Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing? A cough reflex has both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) components. Pulmonary irritant receptors (cough receptors) in the epithelium of the respiratory tract are sensitive to both mechanical and chemical stimuli. Stimulation of the cough receptors by dust or other foreign particles produces a cough‚ which is necessary to remove the foreign material from the respiratory tract before it reaches the lungs
