Respiratory System

The respiratory system includes the lungs and the airway. The questions in this category focus mainly on the anatomical and physiological processes associated with breathing.

2,890 Questions

3 ways the respiratory system modifies air?

Warms the air, clears the air of dirt and dust, and moistens the air.

Second stage of aerobic respiration?

The second stage of aerobic respiration is the link reaction. This transition reaction forms acetyl coenzyme A. Glycolysis, the Krebs (or citric acid) cycle, and electron transport chain and chemiosmosis also happen at this stage.

What happens to respiratory system of a pilot who is in a power dive in a super sonic plane?

Due to lack of O2, the lungs will start breathing anaerobically i.e.; without oxygen. This may lead to cramps.

What gases are exchanged in the circulatory system and where?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged by way of the circulatory system. Cells use oxygen for energy and produce carbon dioxide as a waste. Capillaries are where this exchange occurs. Veins carry this product back to the heart. This blood goes to the lungs were you blow off the carbon dioxide and take in oxygen. So the circulatory system and lungs work together to exchange gases.

How do the respiratory and digestive system remove waste?

the respiratory system doesnt really "remove" waste. instead it uses mucus to catch dust particles and other possible things like pollen.

the digestive system removes waste by "releaseing" it into the world :P

in other words by pooping

What is the leading cause of respiratory acidosis?

Respiratory acidosis occurs when the lungs cannot remove all of the carbon dioxide produced by the body. As a result, body fluids become too acidic. This can be cause by almost any lung disease, such as asthma, or by a deadly habit like cigarette smoking.

If you breathe pure co2 what will happen?

As long as you immediately breath out again and then inhale regular air, nothing. Prolonged exposure leads to rapid breathing, acidosis (increase in blood acidity), unconciousness, and finally death.

How does air travel the respiratory system?

when the diaphragm and external intercostal muscle contract we breath in and that's process called ventilation which is the movement of air between the atmosphere and the lungs. Ventilation has two phases.

1. inhalation or inspiration- to move air into the lungs.

2. exhalation or expiration- to move air out of the lungs.

in the second and third process of respiration the lungs emy ass

xternal respiration happen this is the exchange of the gases between lungs and the blood,next will be the internal respiration which is also exchange of air between the blood anmd to the body cells..

respiration is responsible for supplying the body cell preventing the to death..

What is the benefit of coughing?

Coughing is a response to a blockage in either the throat, trachea, or lungs, which is blocking proper airflow (i.e. preventing you from breathing sufficiently).

Coughing is an attempt by the body to expel whatever is causing such a blockage. It is a fairly straight-forward mechanical action - the diaphragm contracts quickly, and uses the created air pressure to "push" against whatever the blockage is. Repeated coughs are used against difficult-to-expel things, such as mucus in the lungs.

Why is carbon dioxide released when you breath?

its called photosynthesis trees let out oxygen and you breathe it in then you breathe out carbon dioxide which the trees breathe in. So basically its from the oxygen the trees breathe out

What happens when the diaphragm is punctured?

Diaphragmatic injury are most commonly seen after chest injuries and road traffic accidents. A small puncture wound can cause problems with bleeding and haemothorax, but large defects causes the abdominal organs to go up the chest compromising breathing and will require emergency Surgery.

What are the organs in your respiratory system?

The organs that make up the respiratory system are the lungs ,trachea ,bronchial tubes,mouth,nose( anything you use to breath.)IDK i think this is right i studied it for a while til i dropped out.
We got the nasal passage, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lung, heart, and the ribs.

Why is the trachea reinforced with cartilaginous rings?

ANSWER:To support the trachea. If the rings were not there or if there were not a positive air pressure to keep this area open, it would close on its own because of the surrounding force of the body would close it. If they weren't there you would gurgle upon inhalation and exhalation.

The 'c' shaped cartilage rings are present in the trachea to prevent it from collapsing and they keep the trachea open for air to come in and out. In humans there are about 15 - 20 incomplete C-shaped cartilaginous rings which reinforces the anterior and lateral sides of the trachea to protect and maintain the airway open. (The cartilaginous rings are incomplete because this allows the trachea to collapse slightly to allow food to pass down the esophagus
to give support
The rings of cartilage strengthen the trachea so that it does not collapse, but remains open so that air can get through it.
If It didn't it would collapse in on itself and you would be unable to breathe.
we breath every time so trachea keep open all the time .cartilage rings give support to trachea to open all the time.
The cartilage rings in the trachea keep it from collapsing upon itself with the negative pressure inside of it during inhalation.
The Trachea (also known as the wind pipe) has cartilage rings on it. This prevents the pipe collapsing on itself. If the trachea did collapse, it would disallow us from breathing. Also the trachea might collapse and damage the esophagus (also known as the food pipe) which is behind it.

I'm in Year 8 (or Grade 8 in the (U.S)) and i know that. ;P
It stops it from collapsing when bending the neck, and protects it from tears and other damage.
The trachea (windpipe) has cartilage in it so that it won't collapse when you move your head.

Does horse riding involve aerobic or anaerobic respiration?

its actually an anaerobic sport mainly working your leg muscles and core

Why must all respiratory system have a large surface area over which air can pass?

You have barile?

Lungs have hierarchical structure which minimizes volume but maximises surface area

Aveoli are the smallest units of structure and are the site of gaseous exchange:

- They are circular = max surface area for min volume

- Their most surfaces faciliate the exchange of gases

- They have extensive blood supply which also faciliate the exchange

What process is responsible for movement in gases inside the lungs?

the diaphragm tightens (moves down) expanding the lungs. This expansion creates the pressure in the lungs to decrease. Since nature always strives for equilibrium, high pressure moves to low pressure areas --> air fills the lungs. the diaphragm relaxes, moving back up in the chest cavity, increasing the pressure on the contents in the lungs. The air escapes the lungs to reach the lower pressure area outside our body.

What are 3 disorders of the respiratory system?

The respiratory system has two parts, the upper and the lower. Common conditions of the upper respiratory system include, hay fever and rhinitis. Lower respiratory ailments include asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, and tuberculosis.

What is the main origin of the respiratory system?

The trachea is the main trunk of the respiratory system. It is the central passageway from which the respiratory tree branches.

What part of the respiratory system is the substance produced by the lining of the nasal cavity?

Mucus is a substance produced by the lining of the nasal cavity. This mucus helps moisten and filter incoming air.

What happens during a sympathetic activation of the respiratory system?

Sympathetic activation almost always speeds up any system. In this case breathing rate.
