How does smoking affect the muscular system?
The main effect of smoking on the muscular system is from what chemicals the blood is carrying, versus carrying oxygen (O2) molecules. If hemoglobin on red blood cells is carrying less O2, then the muscles do not have enough O2 to do the work needed at the cellular level. As a secondary effect, if the person is short of breath from smoking, they are less likely to be active. So muscles become flabby, adding to the amount of work on the muscles and on the body. With less O2, it is harder to exercise and to walk, thus creating a viscous cycle in which muscles don't get worked, the smoking limits respirations, thus getting less O2, and the muscles continue to get flabby.
What are the effects of smoking on your breathing?
If you smoke your heart is pumping twice as hard to pump blood around the body. Your lungs will go to a tar colour the more you smoke. You will get shortness of breath and hard coughing putting pressure on your lungs.
How do you trace the route of air from the external nares to an aveolus?
During breathing air enters the nose by passing through the external nares( nostrils)=> pharynx=>larynx=> trachea=> The trachea (windpipe) divides into two main bronchi (also mainstem bronchi), the left main bronchus and right main bronchus. The right main bronchus subdivides into three lobar bronchi while the left main bronchus divides into two. The lobar bronchi divide into => tertiary bronchi, also known as segmental bronchi, each of which supplies a => bronchopulmonary segment. A bronchopulmonary segment is a division of a lung that is separated from the rest of the lung by a connective tissue septum.. There are ten segments per lung, but due to anatomic development, several segmental bronchi in the left lung fuse, giving rise to eight. The segmental bronchi divide into many => primary bronchioles which divide into =>terminal bronchioles, each of which then gives rise to several => respiratory bronchioles, which go on to divide into 2 to 11 => alveolar ducts. There are 5 or 6 =>alveolar sacs associated with each alveolar duct. The alveolus is the basic anatomical unit of gas exchange in the lung.
What materials are needed to make an electromagnet?
-- a DC power supply; (e.g., battery)
-- a long conductor that can be arranged to take the current
several turns around a central axis; (e.g., wire)
-- a highly permeable core for the winding; (e.g., cylindrical clump of iron)
Does using a snorkel improve lung capacity?
I'm no doctor, but I would think just being in an outdoor water activity should be better than sitting at home.
Other than that, snorkeling on the surface is not much more than simple breathing, but if you occasionally hold your breath and shallow-dive to see more, it would be akin to being on shore and holding your breath, if that increases lung function.
What are two effects of exercise on the respiratory system?
The effect exercise has on the respiratory system is that it helps the blood to circulate in the body and so it and the circulatory system have linked together to help in the living of the human body.The respiratory system helps to get rid of unwanted substance in the body (eg.blood)
How does soccer help your respiratory system?
Sports like hockey or soccer require a great amount of energy to play. When you play these sports your body, more specifically your muscles, use up oxygen and nutrients. Having lungs helps a person breathe and get oxygen to their muscles. When muscles have oxygen they don't get tired as quickly and the person can keep playing
How do you know that exercise affect our respiratory system?
Because our respiratory system is part of our breathing and we all breath faster when we do exercise because the oxygen needs to get to the muscles quicker. Exercise also makes you fitter, so you will see an improvement on the respiratory system because your breathing will be more controlable... Therefore exercise defently effects the respiratory system :)
Which body system is responsible for increasing heart rate when you are scared or injured?
Adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands)is what you are referring to and it is part of the nervous system. The two glands are located on top of the kidneys and are responsible for our "fight or flight" reaction towards life threatening situations.
Is bronchitis a disease of the cardiovascular system or the respiratory system?
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucus membranes of the bronchi (the airways that carry air from the trachea into the rest of the lungs). As such it is clearly a disease of the respiratory system rather than cardiovascular. It can be the result of an infection or to exposure to noxious airborne components like cigarette smoke or pollution. Of course, if the inflammation is interfering with the ability of a person to breath, the effects will show up in the cardiovascular system as the blood may not be getting fully oxygenated as it passes through the lungs - but this is a secondary effect.
Function of the respiratory chain?

Why are the lungs considered to be both respiratory?
Lungs are considered a respiratory organ because they are involved in the process of respiration (glucose + oxygen --> water + carbon dioxide) lungs are therefore used to provide oxygen in order for this process to occur :)
How does the respiratory system work together with the circulatory system and muscular system?
The circulatory system carries the oxygen full/lacking blood to and from the lungs. The muscular system makes the lungs expand and contract so the air can flow in and out of the lungs and out the capillaries.
What part of your body does a cold affect?
The common cold is caused by a virus. The name of the virus is Rhinovirus. The medical term "rhino" (derived from Greek) refers to the nose. Colds begin in the nose and sinuses and move through the upper respiratory system. That is why you sneeze, have a runny nose, cough and have a feeling of stuffiness and headaches. Sometimes a cold will allow you to get secondary bacterial infections, like bronchitis or otitis media (ear infections), but the main parts of the body affected by a common cold virus are the mucous tissues in the nose, sinuses, throat, and upper airway. See the related questions below for more information on how to protect yourself from common cold viruses.
Do oxygen and carbon dioxide go back and forth between the circulatory and respiratory systems?
In the alveoli Alveolus (also called air sac) is the capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place by diffusion. The oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle and into the lungs where the co2 is traded for Oxygen in the alveoli and back through the heart and out to the body.
The correct term is alveoli. but they are referred to as sacs, and that is where the exchange of gases take place
What does a pulmonary function test determine?
Pulmonary function tests are a group of procedures that measure the function of the lungs, revealing problems in the way a patient breathes.
What happens to air as it passes the respiratory system?
In the lower respiratory system, air that has been filtered of pathogens and warmed in the upper respiratory tract is transported to the lungs. There, oxygen will be pulled from the inhaled air and deposited into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide pulled from the bloodstream is released back into the lungs to be expelled from the body upon exhaling. This exchange of gases is the primary function of the respiratory system.
How is the respiratory system connected to two other body systems?
The respiratory system is connected to the circulatory system at the alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across the thin membrane between the two systems. The physical connection between the respiratory system and the digestive system occurs at the oropharynx, which carries both air and food.
What is the tiger respiratory circulatory and reproductive system and how they work?
Tigers breathe through their nasel section and mouth to deliver air to their lungs. The heart pumps oxygenated blood which provides support so the tigers can breathe. As they inhale oxygen they exhale out Carbon Dioxide. Answered By John Thomas.
What do lungs go in to circulatory system or respiratory system?
The lungs are part of the respiratory system! they help the circulatory by giving oxygen, but they are just respiratory.
What is the circulation of blood to and from the lungs known as?
The flow of blood to and from the lungs is called pulmonary circulation.
