How Does The Effectiveness Of The Lungs Affect The Rate Of Gas Diffusion?

If The Lungs Are Not Effective At Taking In Oxygen And Getting Rid Of Carbon Dioxide Then Then
Gas Diffusion Will Not Be Able To Occur




How Does Inspiration Affect Lung Volume And Air Pressure?

Lung Volume Increases

Air Pressure Is Lower Within The Lungs Than Outside So Air Rushes In




How Does Expiration Affect Lung Volume And Air Pressure?

Lung Volume Decreases

Air Presses Is Higher Outside Than In The Lungs So Air Is Forced Out




When Would You Expect To Find The Highest Rate Of Air Pressure During Breathing?

Expiration




When Would You Expect To Find The Lowest Rate Of Air Pressure During Breathing?

Inspiration

, What Role Does The Pulmonary Artery Play In Respiration?




How Do Your Rib Muscles And Diaphragm Play A Role In Breathing?

Describe The Process That Allows Oxygen To Diffuse In Our Blood And Carbon Dioxide To Be
Released

-In The Lungs At The Alveoli, The Oxygen Is Picked Up By Passing Blood.

-High Oxygen In The Lungs Leads To Oxygen Loosely Binding To Hemoglobin Forming Forming
Oxygenhemoglobin

-Red Blood Cells Travel Through The Body Until They Find Areas Of Low Oxygen (Close To
Working Cells)

-The Oxygen Is Let Go And The Oxyghemoglobin Becomes Hemoglobin Again

-Some Carbon Dioxide Binds To Hemoglobin And The Rest Is Dissolved In The Blood -Red Blood
Cells Travel Through Veins Back To The Heart And Then To The Lungs To Release Carbon Dioxide
And Pick Up New Oxygen
