question
Drag each label to the appropriate location on the flowchart.
answer
1. Air enters through the nose or mouth 2. Air travels down the trachea and then enters the bronchi 3. Air travels down smaller and smaller bronchioles 4. Air reaches small sacs called alveoli.
question
Drag each label to the appropriate location on this diagram of the human respiratory system.
answer
a. Nasal cavity b. larynx c. trachea d. lung e. bronchus f. bronchiole g. diaphragm
question
Label the figure that shows "INHALATION" and the figure that shows "EXHALATION" in targets (a) and (b). Then drag the other labels to the appropriate locations on the figures.
answer
a. Inhalation b. Exhalation c. external intercostal muscles contract d. air enters body g. diaphragm contracts (moves down). air leaves body f. internal intercostal muscles contract h. diaphragm relaxes (moves up).
question
Which of the following descriptions accurately describes Boyle's law?
answer
The pressure of gas in your lungs is inversely proportional to the volume in your lungs.
question
Which muscles, when contracted, would increase the volume of air in the thoracic cavity?
answer
diaphragm and external intercostals
question
Which pressure is the result of the natural tendency of the lungs to decrease their size (because of elasticity) and the opposing tendency of the thoracic wall to pull outward and enlarge the lungs?
answer
intrapleural pressure
question
During an allergic reaction, which of the following would aid respiration?
answer
epinephrine
question
If the transpulmonary pressure equals zero, what will happen to the lung?
answer
lungs will collapse
question
Part A - Key events in gas exchange Drag each label to the appropriate location on the flowchart.
answer
1. Breathing moves air in and out of the lungs. 2. Oxygen diffuses from alveoli in the lungs into capillaries. 3. Oxygen enters red blood cells, where it binds to the protein hemoglobin. 4. Oxygen diffuses from the blood to the body's tissues, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the tissues to the blood. 5. Carbon dioxide leaves the body when exhale.
question
Part A - Carbon dioxide transport Drag each label to the appropriate location on the flowchart.
answer
1. Carbon dioxide is released from the mitochondria. 2. Carbon dioxide diffuses into a capillary. 3. Carbon dioxide is carried to the lungs. 4. Carbon dioxide diffuses into an alveolus. 5. Air exits through nose or mouth
question
Part A - Oxygen transport Drag each label to the appropriate location on the flowchart.
answer
1. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into surrounding capillaries. 2. Oxygen enters a red blood cell. 3. Oxygen binds to a molecule of hemoglobin. 4. Oxygen is carried through blood vessels to a capillary. 5. Oxygen diffuses from the blood to the body's tissues
question
During inhalation,
answer
the diaphragm and rib muscles contract.
question
From which structures do oxygen molecules move from the lungs to the blood?
answer
Alveoli
question
Which statement is correct?
answer
In the blood, oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells.
question
After blood becomes oxygenated,
answer
it returns to the heart, and is then pumped to body cells.
question
Hemoglobin
answer
is a protein that can bind four molecules of oxygen.
