10 Questions2 MinutesCreated by BreathingBrain101
What is the role of the Respiratory System?
Breath in air and diffuse into the blood
Inhale air and take it into the lungs
Inhale air and take it into the lungs so that oxygen can be diffused into the blood and carbon dioxide can be removed from the body
Inhale air and take it into the lungs so that oxygen can be diffused into the blood
What is the Respiratory System made up of?
Lungs
Lungs & Ribcage
Lungs, Ribs & Intercostal Muscles
Lungs, Heart & Intercostal Muscles
What is 'Tidal Volume'?
The maximum amount of air a person can expel after maximum inhalation.
The volume of air you breathe in and out with each breath.
The number of times you breathe in one minute.
The total volume of air that you breathe in and out in one minute
What is 'Vital Capacity'?
The maximum amount of air a person can expel after maximum inhalation.
The total volume of air that you breathe in and out in one minute
The volume of air you breathe in and out with each breath.
The number of times you breathe in one minute.
What is 'Respiration Rate'?
The total volume of air that you breathe in and out in one minute
The volume of air you breathe in and out with each breath.
The maximum amount of air a person can expel after maximum inhalation.
The number of times you breathe in one minute.
What is 'Minute Volume'?
The total volume of air that you breathe in and out in one minute
The volume of air you breathe in and out with each breath.
The maximum amount of air a person can expel after maximum inhalation.
The number of times you breathe in one minute.
Which of these describes 'Inspiration'?
The intercostal muscles contract causing the ribcage to move up and out. The diaphragm contracts causing it to flatten. The chest cavity gets larger causing pressure in the lungs to fall. Air moves into the lungs from the higher outside pressure.
The intercostal muscles relax and so the rib cage returns to normal. The diaphragm relaxes pushing it up. The chest cavity gets smaller and so pressure in the lungs increases. Air flows out of the lungs.
The intercostal muscles are antagonistic - the contraction of the external muscles raises the rib cage, whereas contraction of the internal muscles lowers the rib cage.
True
False
Which of these statements does NOT describe 'Alveoli'?
The main function of the alveoli is to provide a large surface area for gas exchange.
They are covered with capillaries (tiny blood vessels) which allow the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
They can increase in size through regular exercise.
Alveoli are tiny structures that look like bunches of grapes!
Is an increased 'Tidal Volume' associated with short or long term adaptation of exercise?
Short
Long
