THE AIR PASSAGES

Nostrils have hair to trap bacteria and small dust particles
The lining of the nostrils produces mucus the mucus makes the air
moist
The nose has blood vessels they make the air warm
Wind pipe /trachea
Its is about 10m long and 7.5 cm wide
The trachea is made of rings of cartilage each are c
shaped
Each ring inside has two types of cells
There are mucus secreting cells and ciliated cells
THE Ciliated cell
 Cilia is the microscopic hair which beat back and
fourth to move the mucus to the top of the wind pipe
 Then the mucus enters from the back of the mouth
and is swallowed
 Bronchus and bronchioles

 The wind pipe is divided into two smaller tubes called

bronchi
 The bronchi are also divided into many smaller tubes
called bronchioles they are made up of muscles the
muscles can make the altimeter of the bronchioles
wider or narrower
 Same people suffer from asthma because they may
be allergic to certain proteins in their food or in the
proteins in the dust that came from fur or feathers so
the presence of these proteins in the air effects the
air passages and the bronchioles become narrower.
 This makes breathing difficult
 A person suffering from asthma can use a inhaler
which releases chemicals to relax the muscles

1,What is the term breathing mean

Breathing is the taking in and out of air through the lungs
2, in respiration which gas in the air takes part in the
chemical reaction
Oxygen
3,which food substance also takes part in the chemical
reaction
Glucose
4, name two waste products
Water and carbon dioxide
5, label diagram below
 Task

1,Write the world equation for the aerobic respiration

2,when does a anaerobic respiration take place
When the body cannot get enough oxygen in the body
for example when you sprint you cannot breathe fast
enough to get oxygen you need to release energy for
your muscles
3, give an example of when an aerobic respiration take
place
