MIND MAP RESPIRATORY SYSTEM & FLUIDS
Functions of the respiratory system
Allows you to talk and to smell.
Warms air to match your body temperature and moisturizes it to the humidity level your body needs.
Delivers oxygen to the cells in your body.
Cellular respiration
STEPS
1.Glycosis
2.Pyruvate oxydation
3.Citric & acid cycle
4.Oxidative phosphorylation
Removes waste gases, including carbon dioxide, from the body when you exhale.
Protects your airways from harmful substances and irritants.
What conditions affect respiratory system?
Allergies
asthma
Infections
Diseases
Aging
Damage
For what does it work
2) Produce Sounds:
Pitch can be changed accordingly based on the thickness or length of the true vocal cords.Thick and shorter vocal cords produce low baritone notes.
Thin, slender, and longer vocal cords produce high-pitched notes.
The vocal cords in our larynx assist with the production of sounds.
The loudness of our voices comes not from our vocal cords, but rather from the amount of force of air that we breathe in or let out.
1) Move Air:
Three main gases in air include nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
If nitrogen is so abundant in the air, why don’t we breathe nitrogen instead of oxygen and carbon dioxide? Excellent question.
Based on Henry’s Law, when gases come in contact with a liquid, the gas would dissolve into the liquid in proportion to its partial pressure.
Thus, Henry’s Law states that the concentration of gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to both the partial pressure and solubility of the gas.
The gasses that our lungs exchange are oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Nitrogen (N2) composes 78% of air, while oxygen (O2) and (CO2) compose 21% and less than 1% of air, respectively.
3) Gas Exchange
The respiratory system provides extensive surface area for gas exchange to occur between our circulating blood and air.
.
Many blood vessels surround each air sac, exchanging carbon dioxide from deoxygenated blood for oxygen from the air.
4) Protect:
The mucus is either spit out from the mouth or swallowed into the esophagus to the stomach, where the trapped bacteria, dust, or viruses are dissolved and broken down by the stomach’s strong acid.
5) Acid-Base Balance:
Our pH is regulated by our respiratory system as well, that exchanges carbon dioxide and oxygen from our lungs and blood with the air.
6) Olfactory:
Thanks to our nose and nasal canal from our respiratory system, we can participate in olfactory senses.
7) Regulating Blood Volume and Blood Pressure:
When our blood volume and blood pressure are low, our lungs contain an enzyme called ACE that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II on the surface or the pulmonary endothelium.
Angiotensin II is the peptide hormone that stimulates other organs and systems to help increase blood volume and blood pressure.
