81
What happens when the oxyhemoglobin(oxygenated) blood reaches the cells?
Oxygen is released from the hemoglobin and diffuses out of capillaries and into the the body cells.
82
Why does Carbon dioxide diffuse out of the cells and into the blood?
Because the concentration of carbon dioxide is greater inside the cells then in the blood.

What is Inspiration?
it's the process of taking air into the lungs.
98
Does the chest expand in inspiration or expiration?
It expands in Inspiration
99
What causes your ribs to expand in inspiration?
Your Rib muscles contract to move the ribs up and outwards
100
What does your diaphragm muscle do when your rib muscles contract?
They also contract and flatten and push down on the abdomen.
101
During inspiration the ________ of lungs increase which **reduces** _____ pressure?
1.) Volume 2.) Reduces 3.) Air
102
When is the air pressure of the lungs lower than the outside?
During Inspiration
103
In inspiration what is the result of the low air pressure in the lungs?
It causes Air from the atmosphere to move into the Lungs.
104
What process includes the releasing of air from the lungs?
Expiration
105
What happens to the rib muscles and diaphragm during expiration and does the volume of the long increase or decrease?
The Diaphragm and rib muscles relax causing the volume of the lung to decrease?
106
What happens to the air pressure as the volume of the lungs decreases?
The air pressure increases and becomes greater then the pressure outside the body.
107
What does the pressure difference in expiration cause?
It forces air out of the lungs until the pressures are equal again.
108

NO
109
What controls the movement of the thoracic cavity during breathing?
The diaphragm and the rib muscles
110
What does the rate of Oxygen usage depend on?
The activity of the cells
111
At what time is more oxygen needed?
During great activity as your body needs to breathe faster.
112
When does your body breathe slowly?
During slow activites
113
Why do the rate and depth of breathing change?
In order to provide Oxygen and Eliminate Carbon dioxide?
114
How is the rate of breathing controlled?
By the brain and brain stem.
115
How do the brain and brain stem control the rate of breathing?
They monitor the concentration of Carbon dioxide in the blood?
116
Which part of the Brain Stem specifically controls the rate of breathing?
The medulla oblongata
117
To control breathing rate where else do your brain stem and brain monitor the rate of carbon dioxide
ONLY IN YOUR BLOOD?
118
Does your brain and brain stem monitor the concentration of oxygen to control breathing rate?
No only carbon dioxide
119
When activity increases does the concentration of oxygen or carbon dioxide increase?
Carbon dioxide increases.
120
As activity increases what does the increased concentration of carbon dioxide cause?
It stimulates the nerve cells in the brain.
121
As activity increases what does the brain stem in turn stimulate to increase the breathing rate and depth?
YOUR DIAPHRAGM (NOT YOUR RIB MUSCLES)
122
What happens as body activity decreases?
Carbon dioxide levels decrease and sensors in the brain send a message to respiratory muscles to return to a slower breathing rate.
123
Does your brain or brain stem stimulate your respiratory muscles to return to a slower a breathing rate?
ONLY YOUR BRAIN
124
When activity decreases or increases are the actions of the body controlled consciously by control centers of the brain?
NO They are controlled subconsciously by the control centers of the brain.
125
Can a person override the respiratory control system?
YES
126
How can a person override their respiratory control system?
By holding their breath until they loose consciousness.
127
What happens when a person looses consciousness by holding their breath?
The brain stem takes control and normal breathing rate resumes. (This mechanism allows you to swim underwater for short periods and sleep with concern of breathing)
