4) What tiny air sacs in the lungs are responsible for gas exchange?
Alveoli
True or False
The lungs are excretory organs as they excrete carbon dioxide out of the blood stream, into the lungs, and then out of the body
True
Identify the only country in the world without a rectangular flag
Nepal
5) Which blood vessel is responsible for taking blood to the lungs?
Pulmonary artery
5) Describe the structural difference between trachea and oesophagus
Answer: Trachea contain C shaped rings of cartilage to keep open, oesophagus is a tube of muscle
True or False
Feaces is an example of metabolic waste
False
Why were tomatoes believed to be poisonous in the 16th by the British monarchy?
When tomatoes were first introduced to Europe in the 16th century from the Americas, they were often considered dangerous to eat, particularly by the upper classes. This fear was partly because wealthy Europeans used pewter plates, which contained high levels of lead. Tomatoes, being highly acidic, would react with the lead, causing some of the metal to leach into the food and leading to lead poisoning. Consequently, tomatoes were nicknamed "poison apples," and it took a long time for them to gain acceptance as a staple food in European cuisine.
6) Name the four valves of the heart.
Tricuspid, bicuspid, aortic valve(semilunar valve), pulmonary valve
6) Explain the difference between the movements of the diaphragm and chest cavity during inhalation and exhalation.
Answer: Inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs, during which the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, expanding the chest cavity.
Exhalation is the process of expelling air from the lungs, during which the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, decreasing the chest cavity's size.
The liver excretes bile pigment, where does it originate from
Break down of old erethrocytes
Which Australian state is said to have the
"cleanest air in the world"?
Tasmania
Antartic winds he strong winds that blow in from the Southern Ocean near Antarctica help keep the air pure and free of pollutants.
7) What component of blood is responsible for clotting(scientific name)?
thrombocytes
7) What is the role of the nasal cavity in the respiratory system?
Answer: The nasal cavity warms, humidifies, and filters the air as it is inhaled, trapping dust, bacteria, and other particles with the help of mucus and cilia.
Name two wastes products that originate at the liver
Ammonia & Urea
Name each of the 5 characters that make up the Mystery Gang in Scooby Doo
Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Daphne Blake, Norville “Shaggy” Rogers and Scoobert "Scooby" Doo
8) Explain the difference between systemic and pulmonary circulation.
Systemic circulation transports oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood to the right side of the heart
pulmonary circulation carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and returns it to the left side of the heart.
8) How does the structure of the alveoli facilitate their function in gas exchange?
Answer: The alveoli have thin walls (one cell thick) and are surrounded by a network of capillaries, allowing for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the alveoli and the blood.
The kidneys excrete 3 waste products, that are;
Ammonia, Urea, and Uric acid
Which is older, the Simpsons TV show or Taylor Swift, and by how long
Taylor Swift by 4 days
TS 13 Dec 1989
The Simpsons first aired 17 Dec 1989
9) How does the structure of capillaries facilitate their function within the circulatory and respiratory system?
Capillaries cover alveoli for a high surface area of gas exchange which is possible as they have thin walls (one cell thick) that allow for the exchange of oxygen, and waste products between blood and alveoli.
9) Describe the process of gas exchange that occurs during respiration.
Answer: Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli, where oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses across the alveolar membrane into the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled.
If carbon dioxide is a metabolic waste, write the chemical formula for respiration that would support that statement to be true
Oxygen + Glucose --> Carbon dioxide + water
Identify which flags around the world have the geographic country structure on the flag( Name 1, there are 2)
Cyprus
Kosovo
10) Describe the function of plasma in the circulatory system.
Answer: Plasma is the liquid component of blood that transports nutrients, hormones, and proteins throughout the body. It also carries waste products to the kidneys and liver for removal and helps maintain blood pressure and volume. Additionally, plasma plays a role in transporting cells, including red and white blood cells and platelets.
10) What is the significance of the partial pressure of oxygen (O2) in the blood, and how does it affect oxygen transport?
Answer: The partial pressure of oxygen (O2) in the blood determines how much oxygen binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells. A high pO2 in the lungs promotes oxygen binding to haemoglobin, while a low pO2 in the tissues facilitates the release of oxygen for cellular use.
Excrete sweat containing water and wastes such as salts (sodium chloride), urea and lactic acid
Also cools the body
