    37-3 The Respiratory System What Is Respiration?

    What Is Respiration?
    In biology, respiration means different things.
    Cellular respiration is the release of energy from the
    breakdown of food in the presence of oxygen
    (occurs in the?????)
    At the organism level, respiration is the process of gas
    exchange—the release of carbon dioxide and the uptake of
    oxygen that occurs between RBCs and alveoli

    Breathing is the actual mechanical intake of air

    37-3 The Respiratory System Breathing

    BREATHING
    Lungs are sealed
    in pleural
    membranes inside
    the chest cavity.
    At the bottom of
    the cavity is a
    large, flat muscle
    known as the
    diaphragm.

    37-3 The Respiratory System Breathing

    During inhalation, the


    diaphragm contracts and
    the rib cage rises up.
    This expands the volume of
    the chest cavity.
    The chest cavity is sealed,
    so this creates a partial
    vacuum inside the cavity.
    Atmospheric pressure fills
    the lungs as air rushes into
    the breathing passages.

    Often exhaling is a Air Exhaled


    passive event.
    When the rib cage Rib cage
    lowers
    lowers and the
    diaphragm relaxes,
    pressure in the chest
    cavity is greater than
    atmospheric pressure.
    Air is pushed out of the
    lungs.

    37-3 The Respiratory System How Breathing Is Controlled

    How Breathing Is Controlled


    Breathing is controlled by
    the medulla oblongata.
    The medulla oblongata
    monitors carbon dioxide in
    the blood.
    As carbon dioxide
    increases, nerve impulses
    make the diaphragm
    contract, bringing air into the
    lungs.
    The higher the carbon
    dioxide level, the stronger
    the impulses.

    Carbon dioxide in the
