Respiratory System

no

The exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen in the body normally occurs about 12-20 times per minute at rest during breathing. This allows for the uptake of oxygen by the lungs and the release of carbon dioxide as a waste product.

A tube that carries air from the windpipe to the lung

Smoking can severely damage your lungs by destroying the air sacs in them, making it hard to breathe.

The pharynx

It is in your respitory system. But no research have i done on the nose system. Is there something i left out? ahhh! All i know is it is in the respitory system make sure you wrote the Question right.... or the textbook?

The trachea and lungs are in the respiratory system. The pancreas is part of the endocrine and digestive systems.

lungs

The glucose is split into 2 molecules of a three carbon compound

This website needs more people to answer these questions because i was the one that asked it......

It can kill by inflaming the lungs making it impossible to breath.

yes don't smoke that dope.

The trachea is a tube made of c-shaped rings of cartilage. This structure gives it flexible but strong support.

In Spanish stands for Enfermidad Pulmonar Obstruction Cronica. A progressive disease mainly caused by smoking.

no

The disadvantage is that anerobic respiration produces less energy than aerobic respiration, and as a result the organism grows at a much slower rate.

Speech is considered as an overlaid function because the primary function of the organs involved in speech production is not speech! For example Larynx is just a valve to prevent foreign bodies from entering the trachea and its primary function is not speech. The same applies for all the other organs of speech production. Therefore speech is considered as overlaid function.

The test produces a recording of the patient's ventilation under conditions involving both normal and maximal effort. The recording, called a spirogram, shows the volume of air moved and the rate at which it travels into and out of the lungs.

For most normal individuals the hypothalmus is is the origin of central chemoreceptors. These chemoreceptors are very sinsitive to elevation or drops in pH (or amount of free Hydrogen Ion in the blood). The equation: H + HCO2 = H2O + CO2

Shows how CO2 in the bloodstreem effects the amount of free H ion in the blood; in other word the more CO2 in the blood the more acidic it is and has a lower pH. The lower the pH of the blood is the more stimulation is given to the central chemoreceptors in the hypothalmus thus stimulating the phrenic nerve among others to raise the respiratory rate and blow off the excess CO2.

This process is very different for individuals who are suffering from chronic CO2 retention (Like in COPD). These indeviduals can not use the central chemoreceptors due to the excessive CO2 in the blood is a norm for them! These individuals must now depend on their peripheral chemoreceptor located through out their body. These peripheral chemoreceptors are sensitive to O2 levels in the blood, and are sitmulated by a drop in O2 concentration. This is why it could be dangerous to give excessive supplimental oxygen to a person with COPD. If there is no drop in O2 levels (because your giving them O2) in their blood what stimulates them to breath? Nothing !!!!! Scary huh? Dont smoke!!!

aerobic respiration give more energy than anaerobic respiration.

Emphysema is not contagious, and someone with emphysema can be around a child with respiratory problems without endangering the child. Smokers should not be around a child with respiratory problems.

Once a fungus is inhaled, it will multiply, either in the upper or lower respiratory tracts. As the fungi multiply, it will interfere with breathing, causing an overabundance of mucus. An upper respiratory tract infection includes the common cold and laryngitis. Lower respiratory tract infections are usually more serious and include bronchitis and pneumonia, both of which can be fatal.

Not sleeping on your back decreases snoring. For those who have a tendency to repeatedly roll over on their back (especially while asleep) wearing a belt or robe tie holding a tennis ball in the small of the back will do the trick.
