What is the main function of the respiratory system?
Supplies O 2 (Oxygen) to the blood
and removes CO 2 (Carbondioxide) from the blood

How are oxygen, carbondioxide, and other waste gases
exchanged in the lungs andbody tissues?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other
waste gases are exchanged bydiffusion between body cells
andblood

How is the work of the digestivesystem related to the
respiratory
system?
-

9/25
How is the work of the
digestive system related to therespiratory system?
The digestive system provides glucose(from carbohydrates) needed
for cellular
respiration. The respiratory systemprovides the oxygen need for
cellular
respiration.

Why do capillaries surroundalveoli?
So that oxygen and carbon dioxide canbe exchanged easily by
diffusion through
the cell membranes.

How does the oxygen in thealveoli get to the body cells?
Oxygen diffuses into capillaries, where itis picked up by
hemoglobin and taken in
the bloodstream to all body cells

You have just finished joggingfor 10 minutes and your chest
is
heaving. Why?
-
7/27/2019 Respiratory System TQ
19/25
You have just finished jogging
for 10 minutes and your chestis heaving. Why?
The body uses more oxygen duringexercise. Your lungs inhale and
exhale
faster when you exercise to give your body cells more
oxygen.

Why do cells need oxygen?
Cells need oxygen to release energy fromglucose (cellular
respiration).

Explain the difference betweenrespiration and breathing.
Breathing is the process in which air moves into and out of
lungs. Respiration
is the process in which oxygen is used torelease energy from the
glucose in cells.

How does your diaphragmcontracting help in inhaling?
When muscles contract, they becomesmaller and pull. The
diaphragm
contracts and moves down, creating abigger space in the chest
cavity for air to
fill the lungs.
