What else can I help you with?
How is air moved into and out of the lungs and what organs are involved?
The main muscle of respiration (moving air into and out of the lungs) is the diaphragm.
What muscle is involved in respiration?
the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm
Is respiration a function of muscles?
No. The function of respiration is the exchange of gases. The main muscle of respiration is the diaphragm.
What is the medical term meaning muscle of respiration?
The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration. Other muscles, such as the intercostals, also aid breathing.
What are the muscles involved when you take a deep breath?
The muscles of assisted inhalation are the external intercostal muscles, pectoral minor, and scalenes. The main muscle of respiration is the diaphragm.
What are the main organs in the respiration system?
The lungs are the organs involved in respiration. The lungs take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
Which chemicals involved in cellular respiration are also found in the respiration of animal organisms and humans?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
What muscle produces blinking?
There is more than one muscle that produces blinking. The main muscles that are involved in the blinking process include the orbicularis oculi and the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.
What are two advantages of anaerobic respiration?
The main advantage to anaerobic respiration is that, unlike aerobic respiration which releases energy all at once, anaerobic respiration releases energy in short outbursts when necessary. (when muscle cells can't get enough oxygen) Therefore, your energy lasts a lot longer.
Which chemicals involved in cellular respiration are also found in the respiration of animal organism and human?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the main chemicals involved in cellular respiration and are also found in the respiration of animal organisms, including humans. Oxygen is used in the process of cellular respiration to generate energy, while carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product and expelled from the body during exhalation.
Which organelles should you isolate from muscle cells to study cellular resporation?
The mitochondria is the main site for cellular respiration, but just looking at the mitochondria won't work because part of cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm outside of the mitochondria.
Why do muscle cells has more mitochondria than eukaryote cells?
Mitochondria are the "powerhouse" factories of cells, they are the main producers of ATP, which the body uses for energy. Since muscle cells are the site for lots of activity and require a lot of cellular respiration, they tend to have a lot mitochondria. Eukaryote cells of plants, protists, and fungi don't undergo as much physical activity as involved in motion that muscle cells have.
