Question
Chapter 31, Problem 1PIT
Summary Introduction
To describe:
How the respiratory system helps an animal to maintain homeostasis.
Concept introduction:
Breathing is a mechanical process, where the gases are exchanged between the lungs and the atmosphere. Breathing is the first step of respiration. Breathing occurs due to the changes in the pressure in the thorax or chest cavity of the body.

Creat a Concept map about “The Respiratory and Circulatory systems” Include a minumun of 20 concept “bubbles” and also include a minimum 20 arrow or symbols.
Includes at least 3 of these “subtopics” that branch from your central idea (Gas Exchange, Transport, Respiration, Circulation, Breathing Mechanics, Lymphatic System, Components of Blood, Spirometry, Immunity, Regulation, Blood Pressure, Homeostasis)
O The toxin causes inappropriate firing of neurons leading to periods of rapid twitching that infected individuals experience as summation
leading to tetanus.
QUESTION 6
Mammalian lungs are very different in structure compared to amphibian lungs. The lungs of mammals have highly complex branching patterns of
airways. The lungs of amphibians are simpler and more sac-like. Over all, the lungs of mammals are capable of much greater rates of gas
exchange compared to amphibians. Why is this?
O The more complex structure provides more surface area across which gas exchange can occur.
O A complex structure means that gases have more contact time with gases compared to a simpler structure.
O Mammalian lungs are usually much bigger relative to their bodies compared to amphibian lungs.
O The respiratory membranes of mammals are able to diffuse gases across them much faster than amphibians.
