41. The term ‘respiration derived from Latin word ‘respire’ meaning ‘to breathe’.
42. In his early experiments Lavoisier thought that the gas liberated on heating powdered charcoal in a bell jar
was like fixed air. (carbondioxide was known as fixed air).
43. Lavoisier noted that the air we breathe out precipitated lime water while that after heating metal did not.
44. Lavoisier carried out another experiment by which he showed that about one-sixth of the volume of
‘vitiated air’ consists of chalky acid gas (fixed air).
(vitiated air-a term used then to show air from which the component needed for burning had been removed)
45. A few lines from a text book of Human Physiology written by John Daper, the chief materials which a living
being receives are matter that can be burnt, water & oxygen gas.
46. The body expels out water, oxide of carbon, phosphorous, sulphur and others.
47. As the inhaled air passes through the nasal cavity, its temperature is brought close to that of the body as it
takes up watervapour.
48. Epiglottis a flap like muscular valve controls movement of food & air towards their respective passages.
49. Larynx is a stiff box like structure containing vocal cords.
50. When air passes out of the lungs and over the vocal cords, it causes them to vibrate & produces sounds.
51. Trachea is the wind pipe channelling air to lungs.
52. Bronchioles finally laminate in clusters of air sacs called alveoli in the lungs.
53. If all alveoli of our lungs are spread out they will cover an area of nearly 160 m2
54. Lungs are protected by two membranes called pleura.
55. The percentage of oxygen in inhaled air is 21 & exhaled air is 16.

56. The percentage of CO2 in inhaled air is 0.04 & exhaled air is 4.
57. The total lung capacity of human being is nearly 5800 ml.
58. Normally at rest we inhale or exhale approximately 500 ml of air, 120 ml of air remains in lungs after
complete exhalation.
59. Carbondioxide is usually transported as bicarbonate while some amount of it combines with haemoglobin &
rest is dissolved in blood plasma.
60. If haemoglobin is exposed to air at sea level, nearly every molecule combines with O2 to form
oxyhaemoglobin.

61. At a height of 13 km above sea level only about half as many molecules of oxygen combine with
O2

62. Cellular respiration in prokaryotic cells like bacteria occurs within the cytoplasm.
63. Cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells occurs within cytoplasm & mitochondria.
64. Each ATP molecule gives 7200 calories of energy.
65. Glucose is oxidised in two stages, in the first stage it is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid.
66. In the second stage if oxygen is available pyruvic acid is oxidised to CO2 and water , large amount of energy
is released.

67. If oxygen is inadequate or not utilised pyruvic acid is converted into ethanol or lactic acid & very little
energy is released.
68. Accumulation of lactic acid results in muscular pain.
69. The ethanol can be separated from the yeast-glucose mixture by the fractional distillation since ethanol boils

at a lower temperature 70C  than the sugar solution.

70. Single celled organisms Amoeba or multi cellular organisms like Hydra and Planarians exchange of gases is
by diffusion.
71. Tracheal respiratory system is seen in insects like cockroach , grasshopper etc.
72. Respiration through gills is called branchial respiration.
73. Respiration through skin is called cutaneous respiration.
74. Most plants can aerate their roots by taking oxygen through lenticels or through surface of root hairs.
75. Mangrove tree of the tropics form aerial roots above the soil surface & takes in oxygen.
76. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process which takes place in the chloroplast to produce sugar, starch and
other carbohydrates.
77. Respiration is a catabolic process which occurs in mitochondria where carbohydrates are burned to produce
chemical energy.
78. The chest wall muscles and another flexible flattened muscle called muscle called diaphragm helps the
lungs in moving air into and out of them.
79. When we inhale the chest wall moves up and expands, causes an increase in the volume of chest cavity.
80. When we breathe out, the diaphragm is relaxed with the convex side of the dome extending into chest
cavity.
81. When the diaphragm contracts during inhalation it flattens and the volume of the chest cavity is increased.
82. When the diaphragm flattens, the volume of the chest cavity is increased, its internal pressure decreases
and air from outside rushes into lungs called inspiration (inhalation).
83. When the diaphragm relaxes and assumes its dome shape, the internal pressure increases and air rushes
out through the nose called expiration (exhalation).
84. The left lung is slightly smaller than right lung.
85. A fluid filled between two membranes protect the lungs from injury and also aid in the expansion of spongy
and elastic lung muscle as they slide one over the other.
86. Gaseous exchange takes place within the lungs by diffusion from alveoli to blood capillaries and vice versa.
87. Oxygen diffused in the blood, combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin.
