Genotype - Answer-The genetic makeup of an individual
inheritance - Answer-Transmission of characteristics to osspring
Mendelian - Answer-Inheritance of parents to offspring
monohybrid - Answer-The cross between parents with different alleles of one gene
non-Mendalian - Answer-Inheritance of train that do not follow Mendalian patterns
Phenotype - Answer-Physical appearances formed by genetics and environment
recessive - Answer-Traits that are masked of dominant alleles are also present
What does the respiratory system do? - Answer-Brings in oxygen to go into the cells, and picks up carbon
dioxide to be removed from the bodyguard
What are the 7 parts of the respiratory system? - Answer-1. Nose
2. Pharynx
3. Larynx (voice box)
,4. Trachea (windpipe)
5. Bronchi
6. Bronchioles
7. Alveoli
What are alveoli surrounded by to allow the exchange of O2 and CO2? - Answer-Capillaries
What is cilia? - Answer-Tiny hairs in the nose and trachea that wave particles up away and out
What is mucus? - Answer-Something that keeps the air warm and moist but also traps particles
How many alveoli does each lung have? - Answer-150 million
What does hemoglobin do? - Answer-Carries oxygen through the blood
What is pleura? - Answer-Sacs that surround the lungs
What is the diaphragm? - Answer-The muscle at the bottom of the thoracic cavity
What happens during inhalation? - Answer-Diaphragm moves down (contracts), rib cage rises, volume of
chest cavity increases, air moves in to fill the space
What happens during exhalation? - Answer-Diaphragm moves up (relaxes), rib cage lowers, space
becomes smaller, air is pushed out of lungs
,What does the medulla oblongata do? - Answer-Controls breathing
What is chronic bronchitis? - Answer-Bronchi swell and become clogged with mucus
What is emphysema? - Answer-Tissues in lungs lose elasticity; tissues can't enough O2 or get rid of
enough CO2
What is lung cancer? - Answer-Cells that do not stop reproducing; can spread to other locations because
lungs are so central and connected to so much; survival is generally less then 5 years from diagnosis
What is heart disease? - Answer-Blood vessels are constricted, blood pressure rises, heart has to work
harder, heart wears out more quickly
What is cystic fibrosis? - Answer-Genetic (recessive); lungs can get clogged with mucous
What is mesothelioma? - Answer-Lungs become exposed to asbestos and lose elasticity
What is elastic recoil? - Answer-The ability for the alveoli to get filled with air then return to their normal
shape once the air is released
What is a spirometer? - Answer-an instrument for measuring the air capacity of the lungs
What is tidal volume? - Answer-The amount of air taken in and breathed out in a typical breath
, What is supplemental volume? - Answer-The xtra air that can be inhaled or exhaled with a deep breath
What is reserve amount? - Answer-The amount of extra air you can breathe out when you force air out
of your lungs
What is residual amount? - Answer-The amount of air in your lungs that you cannot get rid of (even
during forced exhaling)
What is vital capacity? - Answer-All the air you can control going in or out of your lungs (supplemental +
reserve = vital)
What is total capacity? - Answer-From the top of your supplemental amount to the bottom of your
residual volume
Main idea - Answer-the most important or central thought of a paragraph or larger section of text, which
tells the reader what the text is about
Topic - Answer-a particular issue or idea that serves as the subject of a paragraph, essay, report, or
speech
-topic is the general subject of a paragraph
-Topics are simple and are described with just a word or a phrase.
-main idea is a complete sentence; it includes the topic - Answer-What's the difference between a topic
and main idea?
