Textbook Question
Chapter 31, Problem 1WIO
Write a paragraph comparing four types of respiratory surfaces (body surface, tracheae, gills, lungs). Your paragraph should describe each surface, list which animals have each, and say whether the surface can function in air, water, or both.

Click on the white dot that indicates the following structure: There are 2 of these in your respiratory system, one leading to each lung.
The respiratory system
You are going to use models, charts, a short video and page 26 of the student book to learn about the respiratory system.
Use the following words to label the diagram below.
air sac bronchiole bronchus diaphragm intercostal muscles
lung pleural membrane rib trachea
List the parts of the respiratory system that:
a molecule of oxygen passes through before entering the blood, starting with the trachea
Trachea à _____________________________________________________________
a molecule of carbon dioxide passes through after leaving the blood, starting with an air sac
Air sac à ______________________________________________________________
Some patients with severe emphysema have constant high levels of carbon dioxide because of inadequate
ventilation. The central nervous system breathing center in these patients becomes insensitive to carbon dioxide and
more dependent on the level of oxygen, which is low. These patients are said to have “oxygen-dependent respiratory
drive". What might happen if you give such a person high levels of supplemental oxygen?
