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

What are some impotrant parts of the respiratory system?

This is normal for all mammals: Nares. Which are nasal openings. A tract in which air reaches lungs. Lungs themselves, and cappularies inside the lung linning to absorb the oxygen into the blood

What happens to your alveoli when you smoke?

Smoking affects the alveoli in the lungs because when the red blood cells absorb oxygen into the alveoli when the smoke is mixing with the clean oxygen it becomes unhealthy for your lungs and dangerous.

Why do we need to take care of our respiratory system?

If your respiratory system isn't working right then oxygen that would normally go to the lungs and make gas exchange happen in the alveoli, getting oxygen in to the blood and going to your heart and working muscles. So if you don't get enough oxygen coming through the respiratory system then your heart wont get enough oxygenated blood around the body through the circulatory system to the working muscles. So energy will not get to the muscles making them not as efficient as they should be.

What are the inputs and outputs of anaerobic respiration?

inputs consis of: glucose (C6H12O6)

outputs: 2ATP, Lactic acid / ethanol in yeasts

Which respiratory system does a dolphin use to breathe on land?

Fish breath little air particles in the water and kills separate the water from the air in the water but the air is not air that humans can breath its too thin

Which gas binds to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen?

Carbon monoxide. It has ten times higher binding efficiency to iron in the heme group than oxygen does

Product of cell respiration?

ATP. ATP is the molecule used by cells for energy. The byproducts are water and carbon dioxide.

Describe how breathing is controlled?

Autonomic nerves from the medulla oblongata to the diaphragm and chest muscles to produce the cycles of the cpntraction that bring air to the lungs

What jobs does the respiratory system perform?

Primarily the heart and lungs provide for the exchange of oxygen and cabon dioxide in the blood stream. They also help to regulate the acid-base level in the blood. and if you want another goto www.wiki.awnsers.com and type that in the URL when you get there type in the question
To supply oxygen for respiration to occur so our cells can make ATP (energy) and to take carbon dioxide out of the body.

How long does the respiratory system take?

breathing and heart rate increased. breathing and heart rate increased.

How do the ribs and diaphgragm help you breath?

your ibs help you breath because when your diaphram goes up your lungs need room to expand and the lungs help do that :)

Why does holding your breath affect your respiratory rate?

Effects on your beathing rate from exercise includes ; faster pulses, quicker breathes and longer breathes.

The longer or faster you exercise determines on the struggle you put to ur body, By pushing yourself to the max your body will be pumping faster and making you breathe much faster to get the air through your body.

It also depends on what type of exercise you do eg. Aerobic or Anarobic. Aerobic is a long exercise where you test your body in a longer time period eg. Cross-country, Football, Marathon and Rugby etc. Anarobic is a short exercise where you can spring or quickly change the angle of your body in a short period of time eg. 100-Metre Race, Football - To catch up to a opposing player, Cricket - To run to the opposite crease and Baseball - To run round the pitch and get a home run!

All these can effect your breathing rate, but these can vary by the persons

What process is responsible for the exchange of gases in the alveoli and the blood?

The difference in the partial pressure of the gases in the blood coming to the lungs and the alveoli mediated the gas exchange. Without this difference we wont be able to breathe. Diaphragm in the thoracic cavity plays an important role in exchange of these respiratory gases.

Which type of respiration uses oxygen?

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen it is main source of energy in nearly all multicellular organisms and many unicellular animals.

What are the small chambers of the lungs that are involved in the exchange of gases?

The alveoli are small sacs within the lungs where gas exchange occurs. They are located at the ends of bronchiole branches.

What body systems are affected by severe acute respiratory system?

Lungs, mostly. SARS is used to describe the closing of the bronchia and bronchioles.

How does artificial respiration used?

CPR is used by First Aiders when someone has a heart attack and has no pulse, or when it is suspected that this is the case.

What is the most common respiratory system disease?

Quite simply because it is not "the" common cold.

There are over 300 different 'common cold' diseases. That, by the way, is why you cannot create a vaccine for the cold. Once you have had one of the 300+ colds, you are immune to it, and will never catch it, again.

Since there are over 300 common cold diseases, there are many more of them than any other respiratory ailments.

What does the term pulmonary refer to?

Pulmonary refers to something dealing with the lungs.

From where can the person get supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?

A person can get the supply of oxygen for artificial respiration from the cylinders attached to the machines.

Is pharynx part of the upper respiratory tract?

Yes they are. They are all connected by pesky tubes that can clog up at a moments notice and an infection in one can often end up as an infection in the other.

How does the urinary system and respiratory system work together?

This has to do with acid-base homeostasis. Normal blood pH is 7,4.

- Alkalosis = pH >7,4

- Acidosis = pH <7,4

Then you have 2 types for each one, respiratory or metabolic.

- Respiratory alkalosis = CO2 <40mmHg

- Respiratory acidosis = CO2 >45mmHg

- Metabolic alkalosis = HCO3- >26mEq

- Metabolic acidosis = HCO3- <22mEq

If your breathing rate goes beyond 20 per minute (hyperventilation), CO2 goes down and pH goes up. Then your body compensates this by losing HCO3- in the urine, lowering the pH.

If your breathing rate slows down below 15 per minute (hypoventilation), CO2 goes up and pH goes down. Then you reabsorb more HCO3- in the kidneys, raising the pH.

If your kidneys start malfunctioning, your body can't excrete acid compounds and HCO3- gets consumed, then the pH goes down. Your breathing rate goes faster in order to excrete more CO2, raising the pH.

And in some cases the kidneys reabsorb more HCO3- than they should, and pH goes up. Then your breathing rate slows down, CO2 goes up and pH goes down.

In some cases, pH can vary due to other reasons, such as diabetes or diarrhea, which can produce acidosis, or severe vomiting, that produces alkalosis. These are classified as metabolic as well, but can be regulated both by the respiratory and the urinary system, though the latter is rather inefficient in these cases.

If the respiratory system goes wrong what will happen?

Inevitabley without oxygen the body will cease to survive, as their is a no oxygen entering the body, the heart rate increases (tries to beat quicker in a bid to get more oxygen) and eventually life will be over as the brain can not survive for more than a few minutes (dependant on individual) without oxygen.
