d)

Explanation

5.

Where does Gas exchange happen?

a)

Alveoli

b)

Nose

c)

Lung

d)

Bronchi

6.

What is function of the dome-shaped diaphragm muscle?

a)

This is where gas exchange happens.

b)

Air passes through the diaphragm on the way to the lungs.

c)

It attaches to the lungs and contracts and relaxes to help breathing.

7.
When the diapragm relaxes and moves back up, the lungs are...
a)
expanding with air
b)
shrinking - pushing air out
8.
Label A is...
a)
Trachea
b)
Diagphragm
c)
Bronchus
d)
Alveolus
9.

Label C is...

a)

Trachea

b)

Diaphragm

c)

Bronchi

d)

Alveoli

10.

Label D is...

a)

Trachea

b)

Diaphragm

c)

d)

Alveoli

11.
When you inspire the....
a)
Volume in the chest increases
b)
Volume in the chest decreases
12.
When you inspire the....
a)
Pressure in the chest increases
b)
Pressure in the chest decreases
13.

What are the 3 things that assist Gaseous Exchange?

a)

Large surface area of alveoli allows diffusion to take place.

b)

Capillaries very near to alveoli, so diffusion distance is very short.

c)

Veins have valves to prevent the backflow of blood

d)

Alveoli are covered in tiny capillaries so gases can pass through the thin walls and travel into the blood stream

e)

Lung oxygenate the blood so it can be transported to the muscles

a)

Relax

Cardiac Output x Stroke Volume

b)

Tidal Volume x Breathing Rate

c)

Stroke Volume x Breathing Rate

d)

Tidal Volume x Stroke Volume
