The respiratory system one
The respiratory system, a collection of cells, t________ and organs works constantly to
provide the many billions of cells in the human body with oxygen. The lungs allow
gaseous e__________ taking oxygen from the atmosphere into the blood and excreting
carbon dioxide from the blood to the atmosphere. A healthy lung consists of many
millions of alveoli giving it a huge surface area to help the exchange of these gases. These
are highly specialised tissues for exchanging gases. How do villi in the small intestine
make use of a large surface area for absorbing nutrients ?

The lungs are the key organs in the r__________ system. They are located inside your chest or

diaphragm, which aids breathing and separates your lungs from your a__________. The
average lung capacity of an adult male is around 5.5 litres. Lance Armstrong, the cyclist, who

Breathing cycle two
As you complete a full breathing cycle (inhalation & exhalation) you are not only taking in
oxygen from the atmosphere, you are also getting rid of waste carbon dioxide. Oxygen moves
from an area of high concentration (in the atmosphere) to an area of low concentration (in the
blood) by diffusion. In your a_______, you exchange what you need for what you don’t need.
The air you breathe out is rich in carbon dioxide, moving from an area of high concentration (in
the blood) to an area of low concentration (in the atmosphere), also by diffusion.

volume of air that we can take in is about 5 litres. We can measure our total lung volume or

The lungs are vulnerable to cold air or infection, caused by bacteria or viruses. Cold, dry
air is warmed and moistened by the lining found in your n______ and trachea. Bacteria
and viruses are trapped by ciliated epithelial cells that line the trachea. Furthermore, these
cells also produce m_______ which trap any airborne microbes, which are then moved by
the cilia (hairs) to the back of your throat. Here they are swallowed and destroyed by
stomach acid. How does smoking damage these cilia hairs ?

Oxygen debt during anaerobic respiration
When muscles are working hard, they begin to respire glucose without oxygen. This is called
anaerobic respiration. Lactic acid produced during anaerobic respiration builds up and slowly
poisons your muscles. Your body can’t supply sufficient oxygen to your muscles. This is called
oxygen debt. When you stop vigorous exercise, your heart and lungs continue to supply extra oxygen
to allow the muscle to breakdown l____ acid. This repays the oxygen debt.

Yeast
Notes Yeast is used in the manufacture of wine, beer and After fermentation, the alcohol is
spirits. Sugar contained in grapes or grain is fermented separated from the dead yeast
by yeast producing alcohol. The yeast cells multiply cells and allowed to mature over
rapidly in the sugar until they run out of the food source time. Distilling alcohol increases
or high concentrations of alcohol kill them. its content in spirits like vodka.

4: Look at the information in the table below. It shows the results of an investigation designed to investigate how
breathing changes during exercise:
Activity Volume of each inhalation (cm3) Number of inhalations per minute taken
Resting 600 19
Press ups (25 min-1) 800 26
Press ups (40 min-1) 1250 35
a) How many breaths did the volunteer take during (i) Rest (ii) When doing 25 press ups per minute.
b) Calculate the amount of oxygen (cm3) breathed in at (i) Rest (ii) When doing 50 press ups per minute.
c) What would the person’s breathing be like shortly after exercise was finished.
5: Answer the following questions:
a) Describe the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
b) Describe the role of the mitochondria in cells. Which types of tissue contain the most mitochondria and why
c) Explain why the build up of lactic acid in your leg muscle begins to slow your speed during a sprint race.
d) Explain why the heart can never respire anaerobically.
e) Explain how red blood cells are adapted to carry oxygen. How does haemoglobin transport oxygen.
6: Complete the following:
During a 200 metre race, the lungs supply ___________ to the respiring muscles. Waste carbon dioxide is taken via
the blood stream and excreted by the ________. All athletes begin to become tired, because of the build up of
_______________ in the muscles. This is called _______________ respiration.
Internet:
Go to google.co.uk and find about how athletes use the illegal drug EPO which stimulates the production of red
blood cells. How might this give them an advantage over other athletes. Whys is this dangerous for the athlete.
