Question
Chapter 27, Problem 11WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ways in which the structure and function of the respiratory surface are influenced by the animal’s environment.
Introduction:
The respiratory surface is the area of the body where external respiration occurs. The respiratory surface must be in the contact of air and the body cells. The surface membrane must be moist. The respiratory surface provides a larger surface area for the exchange of gases.

- Describe the respiratory system of birds and how it allows oxygen-rich air to enter the lungs during both inhalation and exhalation.arrow_forwardWhat causes air to enter human lungs? The contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the lungs, decreasing the pressure relative to the air outside the body. Smooth muscle in the trachea guides the flow of air into the lungs. Air diffuses into the lungs due to the decreased O2 content relative to the air outside our body. The cilia in the trachea guide the flow of air into the lungs. The decreased concentration of O2 in the lungs decreases the density of that air and denser air outside the body "sinks" into the lungs.arrow_forwardExplain the measurement of respiration in an aqueous environment (fish).arrow_forward

Label components A to Larrow_forward***Respiratory SystemThe respiratory system functions in the exchange of gases between the external and internal environments. Major parts of the system include the nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and pulmonary alveoli. Some regions of the respiratory system are specialized for the conduction of gases and other areas function primarily in the exchange of gases. Filtration mechanisms exist in both regions. The function of each part of the respiratory system is reflected in the structure of its wall: the type of epithelium and its apical modifications, intraepithelial and subepithelial glands, cartilaginous rings and plates, smooth muscle and elastic tissue, and the relationship of capillary endothelium to alveolar epithelium.
