Respiratory System

Red blood cells have a protein known as hemoglobin that is rich in Iron making it a favorable candidate to transport Oxygen

The amount of air you can inhale above tidal inspiration is called inspiratory reserve volume (IRV). It represents the additional air you can breathe in after a normal inhalation.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced in cells as a function of cellular metabolism, so it can be found there. The CO2 is dumped into the blood stream and can be found there also. Carbon dioxide then crosses the blood/air barrier in the lungs and can be found there. The CO2 is then exhaled in normal respiration.

The respiratory membrane primarily consists of the alveolar epithelium and the capillary endothelium. These two layers are very thin to facilitate the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the air in the lungs and the bloodstream.

I think you mean lymphocytes. The B and T cells are lymphocytes that are responsible for destroying unwanted viruses and bacteria in your body. They are cells of the immune system. These cells are found in the lymph nodes.

Mucus produced by specialized cells in the respiratory system can trap microorganisms entering the respiratory passages. Cilia, small hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract, then help to move the trapped microorganisms out of the airways through a process called mucociliary clearance. Additionally, immune cells within the respiratory system can also work to engulf and destroy any trapped microorganisms.

The alveoli are the structures in the respiratory system that are involved in the gas exchange function. They are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs where oxygen from the air is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled.

No, in anaerobic respiration, the first step is glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. This process converts glucose into pyruvate and generates ATP without the need for oxygen.

Hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, is required for carrying oxygen from the lungs to body cells in humans. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues throughout the body.

whether aerobic or anaeerobic respiration, the cycle always starts with glucose - a 6 carbon compounds, this ithen metabolised to give 2 NADH , 2 CO2 and 2Pyruvate molecules, also, a net of 2 ATP molecules is produced. This is the main product, the whole purpose of aerobic respiration is to generate energy to carry out whatever activity the subject is carrying out. The next stage is the Kreb's cycle, this is where Acetyl CoA enters the cycle.....but this will lead to anaerobic respiration.

hope this helps.

During respiration, the body takes in oxygen from the air and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. This results in a higher percentage of carbon dioxide in the exhaled air compared to inhaled air.

Breathing involves changes in air pressure inside and outside your body. When you inhale, your chest expands because muscles between your ribs push the ribs apart to make a bigger space. Also, a sheet of muscle in the lower chest, called diaphragm, moves downward to make a bigger space.

Acrylic polymers are compounds produced by bonding acrylic acid or acrylic ester with other molecules. Acrylic polymers utilize the desirable characteristics of acrylic acid and acrylic ester and are used in dispersants, thickeners, adhesives, binders, and paint vehicles.

Breathing helium has no immediate harmful effects for humans because helium is an inert gas, and thus doesn't react with the body's biochemistry.

The danger comes from a continued session of breathing helium, especially in high concentrations. Since the helium replaces the air inside the lungs, there's the danger of hypoxia (lowered oxygen intake) if you don't flush out your lungs by taking in fresh air between sips of helium.

Symptoms of hypoxia include nausea, dizziness and fainting. The fastest way to recover is the same as for carbon monoxide, or any other noxious gas: expose the victim to fresh air, and possibly pure oxygen, ASAP.

The physiological effect of breathing helium, and the reason so many people try it, is that the gas, being less dense than air, causes sound waves to travel faster. The acoustic properties of the volume where the sound vibrations are made is thus changed. The net effect is that your voice sounds higher in pitch, gradually descending back to normal as the helium exits your lungs.

Wheezes - continuous high-pitched whistling sounds produced during breathing

Yes, John Smith is a person, and like all people, he needs to breathe oxygen to survive. This is a basic biological need for all humans.

The function of alveuli is to provide a surface for gas exchange. Therefore, a large surface area means that there is a lot of area for the gas exchange to take place. Therefore it is to improve efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs (exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen).

The large surface area is due to the shape of the alveoli- the have many small "pockets".

Yes, pyruvic acid is a product of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. In aerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is further broken down in the mitochondria, while in anaerobic respiration it is converted into either lactic acid or ethanol to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.

The respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen through the lungs and releasing carbon dioxide back into the environment. Oxygen is taken up by the blood in the lungs and carbon dioxide is expelled from the body through exhalation.

The larynx plays no direct role in the digestive system. It is a part of the respiratory system and contains the vocal cords, which are essential for producing sound and protecting the airway during swallowing.

The ribosome is an organelle rich in RNA. It plays a key role in protein synthesis by translating mRNA into protein.

Breathing brings oxygen into the lungs and removes carbon dioxide from the body, which is essential for cellular respiration. It allows the body to produce energy by converting glucose into ATP through the process of aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen.

The end product of glycolysis in the aerobic mode of respiration is 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 molecules of ATP
