CHAPTER 7 : RESPIRATION

1.

Diagram 1 shows the respiratory structure of an insect and a fish.

P:

Q:

DIAGRAM 1 (a) (b) On diagram 1, name the respiratory system of P and Q. In a box below, draw a cross section through P, to show an important structure which involves in respiration

2.

Diagram 2 shows the transport and exchange of respiratory gases between the alveolus, blood capillary and the body cells.

Diagram 2 (a) (i) Based on Diagram 2, name structure X: (ii) State two adaptations of X in facilitating the diffusion of gases: 1) 2) ....... .......

(b) Explain why the concentration of oxygen in W is always lower than in X.. . . .. (c ) Describe one of the ways how carbon dioxide is transported in the blood: ....................... .

3.

Diagram 3.1 shows an apparatus that can be used to explain the breathing mechanism.

Diagram 3.3 shows a worker in a cement factory wearing a mask.

DIAGRAM 3.3 What is the long term effect to the lungs if he neglects to wear the mask while working?

4.

Figure 4 shows the various structures involved in the regulation of the carbon dioxide in the body fluid.

Changes in blood pH Cemoreceptor in medulla oblongata Chemoreceptor in medulla oblongata Drop / rise of carbon dioxide concentration Carotid body
