6.4: GAS EXCHANGE
Sketch and label a diagram of the ventilation system, including: Trachea, right/left lung, bronchus, bronchioles, ribs, intercostal muscles, diaphragm.
Ventilation Maintains the concentration gradients for oxygen and carbon dioxide in both the lungs and the blood. Introduction to the lungs short video. w0/chapter25/animation__gas_exchange_during_respiration.html Sketch figure 1, page 311. This diagram shows the structure of the alveoli (small air sac in the lung/site of gas exchange) Label the pneumocytes type I and type II
You are full of HOT AIR! You have 30minutes to complete this activity
Type I and II pneumocytes Type IVery thin, alveolar cells adapted for gas exchange. Most of the cells in the epithelium of an alveolus are type I. Appear flattered, 0.15µm thickness. Type IISecrete a solution (surfactant) that maintains the moist surface inside the alveoli. Only make up 5% of alveoli surface.
Pressure changes during ventilation Muscle contractions cause pressure changes within the lungs during inhalation/exhalation. w0/chapter23/animation__alveolar_pressure_changes_during_ins piration_and_expiration.html
