    The document discusses gas exchange in animals and plants. It defines key terms related to respiration like external respiration, internal respiration, and respiratory system. It then describes the human respiratory system and the process of breathing. The major organs involved in external respiration are identified as the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Gas exchange in plants is also summarized, noting that gases move through specialized openings called stomata located on the underside of leaves. Some marsh plants use pneumatophores to aid in their gas exchange.

    BIOLOGY 2
    GAS EXCHANGE IN
    ANIMALS AND
    PLANTS
    STUDY THESE TERMS
     EXTERNAL RESPIRATION – exchange of
    gases between the atmosphere and the
    lung.
    INTERNAL RESPIRATION- gas exchange
    between the blood and the cells of the
    body
    RESPIRATORY SYSTEM – is the network of
    organs and tissues that help you breathe
    GAS EXCHANGE
    Itis the process of
    absorbing inhaled
    atmospheric oxygen
    molecules into the
    bloodstream and offloading
    carbon dioxide from the
    bloodstream into the
    atmosphere
    BREATHING
     An involuntary process that occurs simultaneously
    with the circulation of the blood.
     Process of inhaling and exhaling air
    HUMAN RESPIRATORY
    SYSTEM
     The respiratory system is the
    network of organs and tissues
    that help you breathe .
     Itis a biological system consisting
    of specific organs and structures
    used for gas exchange in animals.
     An involuntary process that
    occurs simultaneously with the
    circulation of the blood.
    TYPES OF GAS EXCHANGE
    EXTERNAL RESPIRATION
     Involves both bringing air into the lungs (inhalation) and
    releasing air to the atmosphere (exhalation)
     External respiration involves the following organs:
    ❑ NOSE

    ❑ BRONCHI

    ❑ LUNGS

    ❑ PHARYNX

    ❑ LARYNX

    ❑ TRACHEA
    EXTERNAL
    RESPIRATION
    NOSE
    Body’s primary organ of
    smell and also functions
    as part of the body’s
    respiratory system
    -Contains the
    passageways for food
    and air.

    Helps the respiratory


    system by allowing air
    to make its way to the
    respiratory tract.
    - A hollow tube
    that connects the
    throat to the rest
    of the respiratory
    system. It helps
    you swallow safely
    and contains the
    vocals cords.
    TRACHEA
    It is about 10 cm long
    and 2.5 cm wide and is
    lined with mucous
    membranes and cilia.
    This cilia moves mucus
    any material in it
    toward the throat
    where the mucus is
    coughed out.
    BRONCHI
    Each bronchus is
    attached to the lungs
    The inner lining of the
    bronchi is lined with
    the cilia and mucus
    that help filter air
    ▪ Spongy, elastic
    sac-like structures
    suspended from
    each side of the
    heart, inside the
    chest cavity.
    Inside the lungs,
    the bronchus
    divides into
    smaller branches.
    The bronchial
    tubes.
    ▪ NOSE
    ▪ PHARYNX
    ▪ LARYNX
    ▪ TRACHEA
    ▪ BRONCHI
    ▪ LUNGS
    GAS EXCHANGE
    IN PLANTS
    GAS EXCHANGE IN PLANTS
     The process whereby water
    vapor and oxygen leave and
    carbon dioxide enters plant
    leaves
     The gases move into and out of
    the plants through specialized
    openings located along the
    lower surface of the leaf.
    STOMATA
     Openings in the leaves of the plants flanked
    by a pair of sausage-shaped called guard
    cells
     Serves as an entry and exit points of gases in
    plants.
     Serves as passageways for the transpiration
    of water through the leaves during hot and
    windy days.
     Turgor pressure in guard cells is responsible
    for the opening and closing of the stomata It
    is the pressure that water exerts on the cell
    membrane, which pushes it towards the cell
    wall
    PNEUMATOPHORES
    Some plants that
    lives in
    marshlands have
    pneumatophores
    that aid in gas
    exchange
