This document provides information about respiration and the effects of tobacco smoke on health. It begins by stating the learning objectives which are to describe the effect of lactic acid in muscles during exercise and the effects of tobacco smoke and its components (nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide) on health. It then discusses the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration, where they occur in the body, and what happens when muscles carry out anaerobic respiration due to not receiving enough oxygen during vigorous exercise. The document also describes how the body removes lactic acid and the harmful effects of tobacco smoke, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
