Notes

The document contains diagrams and questions about gas exchange and the human respiratory system. It discusses the lungs, process of breathing, and structures involved in gas exchange such as the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, trachea, bronchi and alveoli. The purpose is to explain how oxygen is absorbed into the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood through the lungs.

  • Gas Exchange: This section covers the process of gas exchange, including labeling exercises and questions about its necessity and adaptations.
  • Human Respiratory System: Details structures and processes of the human respiratory system through diagram labeling and sentence completion.
  • The Mechanism of Breathing: Explains the breathing mechanism, supported by labeling tasks and comprehension questions to reinforce understanding.

Gas Exchange

1. Cut out the diagram below and stick it into your book. Complete the labels.

2. What is this structure called and where is it found?

3. Colour the blood cells – blue for low oxygen concentration and red for high oxygen
concentration.

4. What is gas exchange?

5. Why is gas exchange necessary?

6. Write down three ways in which this structure is adapted to make gas exchange as
efficient as possible.
Human Respiratory System

1. Cut out the diagram below and stick it into your book. Complete the labels.

2. Colour the heart in red and the pleural cavity in blue.

3. Where exactly in the lungs does gas exchange take place?

4. Copy and complete the following sentences.

a) The ……………………………… is a sheet of muscle which moves down, drawing air into the
…………………………
b) The ……………………… and ………………………… ………………………… together help to protect the
lungs.
c) Another name for the windpipe is the …………………………… This has bands of
………………………… around it to hold it open. The …………………………… then divides into two
tubes called the left and right …………………………… These split into smaller tubes
called ………………………………, which lead into air sacs called ………………………………
The mechanism of breathing

1. Cut out the diagram below and stick it into your book. Complete the labels.

2. Copy and complete the following paragraph using the words provided. Each word is used
once only.
downwards outwards increase
exchange oxygen carbon dioxide upwards pressure
fresh exhalation intercostal muscles decreases relax
surface ventilated inhalation increases inwards

For the efficient ……………………………… of gases (uptake of …………………………… and release of


…………………………… ………………………………), the air around the actual exchange ………………………………
must not be allowed to become stale. To prevent this happening the surface must be
………………………………… This process involves drawing in …………………………… air, which is called
……………………………., and removing some of the used air, which is called ……………………………………
To breathe in, the diaphragm and the ………………………………… ………………………………… contract.
This moves the diaphragm ……………………………… and the ribcage …………………………………. This
