The Lungs
The pleural cavity Each of the lungs is enclosed in a double membrane known as the pleural membrane. The space between the two membranes is called the pleural cavity, and is filled with a small amount of pleural fluid. This fluid lubricates the lungs. It also adheres to the outer walls of the lungs to the thoracic (chest) cavity by water cohesion, so that the lungs expand with the chest while breathing. lung pleural membranes

The mechanism of ventilation
Breathing Breathing
Inhalation (breathing in)Exhalation (breathing out) Diaphragm…. Intercostal muscles pull…. Volume of….. Pressure in…. Air moves in…. Oxygen and carbon dioxide…..
Inhalation (breathing in)Exhalation (breathing out) Diaphragm contracts lowers and flattens Intercostal muscles pull ribcage up and out Volume of thoracic cavity increases Pressure in thoracic cavity decreases Air moves in through mouth and nose from high pressure (outside) to low pressure (inside) Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse down a concentration gradient. (Oxygen into blood) (Carbon dioxide out of blood) Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse down a concentration gradient. (Oxygen into blood) (Carbon dioxide out of blood)

Explain: How does smoking damage the heart and circulatory system? 8/9 Explain? What is coronary heart disease and how is it caused? (CHD) (coronary arteries, lining inflammation, blood pressure, plaque/atheroma, blockage, lack of oxygen, heart attack) Why is inhaling carbon monoxide dangerous? Explain?

Smoking during pregnancy is risky for both mother and baby. Pregnancy and smoking Babies exposed to smoke during gestation are at increased risk of: Pregnant women who smoke are at increased risk of: miscarriage foetal death detachment of the placenta premature labour. limb deformities low birth weight. sudden infant death syndrome
Why do people smoke? There are many reasons why people say they smoke: What is your response to each of these reasons? “It calms my nerves” “It keeps weight down” “It looks good” “I haven’t got the will power to quit” “I smoke low tar cigarettes – they’re safer”
