WHAT IS
GASEOUS
EXCHANGE
? 13
Gas exchange is the
biological process through
which gases are
transferred across cell
membranes to either
enter or leave the blood.
14
Gaseous Exchange is the
exchange of gases across a
respiratory surface

WHERE IS GASEOUS EXCHANGE
SEENneeded
Oxygen is constantly IN HUMANS?
by cells for aerobic cellular
respiration, and the same process continually produces
carbon dioxide as a waste product. Gas exchange takes
place between the blood and cells throughout the body,
with oxygen leaving the blood and entering the cells, and
carbon dioxide leaving the cells and entering the blood.
Gas exchange also takes place between the blood and the
air in the lungs, with oxygen entering the blood from the
inhaled air inside the lungs, and carbon dioxide leaving
the blood and entering the air to be exhaled from the
lungs. 17

Air moves into and out of the lungs
by the movement of muscles. The
most important muscle in the
process of breathing is the
diaphragm, a sheet of muscle that
spreads across the bottom of the rib
cage. The diaphragm and rib
muscles contract and relax to move
air into and out of the lungs.
23
During inhalation, the
diaphragm contracts and
moves downward. The rib
muscles contract and
cause the ribs to move
outward.

27
Inhalation causes the chest volume to
increase. Because the chest volume is
larger, the air pressure inside the lungs
is lower than the air pressure outside.
This difference in air pressures causes
air to be sucked into the lungs. When
the diaphragm and rib muscles relax,
air is pushed out of the lungs.
Exhalation is similar to letting the air
out of a balloon.
28
HOW DOES INHALED
OXYGEN GET INTO
THE BLOODSTREAM?
THE ALVEOLI
29
Alveoli are the basic functional
units of the lungs where gas
exchange takes place between the
air and the blood.
30
DON’T
DRAW!
31
The walls of the alveoli are very thin
and allow gases to pass through them.
The alveoli are lined with capillaries.
Oxygen moves from the alveoli to the
blood in the capillaries that surround
the alveoli. At the same time, carbon
dioxide moves in the opposite
direction, from capillary blood to the
alveoli.
32
The gases move by simple
diffusion, passing from an
area of high
concentration to an area
of low concentration.
33

35
To diffuse across cell membranes,
gases must first be dissolved in a
liquid. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are
transported around the body dissolved
in blood. Both gases bind to the protein
hemoglobin in red blood cells, although
oxygen does so more effectively than
carbon dioxide. Some carbon dioxide
also dissolves in blood plasma.

37
WHY DO ANIMALS NEED A
CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF
OXYGEN?
38
Oxygen is needed for
respiration to occur. Cellular
respiration requires oxygen
to produce ATP, and animal
cells require a steady supply
of ATP. Without ATP, cells
and organisms die quickly.
39
Why does Carbon Dioxide need to be
removed from the human body??????
40
Carbon dioxide is a waste
product of cellular
respiration. Cellular
respiration uses glucose (a
sugar) and oxygen to produce
water, carbon dioxide, and an
energy source known as ATP

chemicals including
nicotine, tar and carbon
monoxide.

Emphysema
The alveoli lose their elasticity which affects their ability to
carry out vital actions.
It causes air to become trapped in the lung and over stretches
the alveoli then they burst.
When the alveoli break down the walls can fuse together
which makes out of shape and irregular airspaces. This can
make gas exchange less efficient as surface area has been
reduced.
The air is trapped and less oxygen gets into the lungs. The
lungs are put on constant pressure causing emphysema.

CARBON MONOXIDE

NICOTINE
Nicotine causes the nervous system to stimulate the
release of adrenaline into the blood. When adrenaline
increases in the blood, it causes the heart to beat faster,
the blood vessels to constrict (to become more narrow),
and the breathing rate to increase. Nicotine constricts
blood vessels directly too. Constricted vessels create a
large resistance for the heart to pump against. Nicotine
also constricts the blood vessels in the heart and can
promote heart attacks.

CELLULAR
RESPIRATION
Respiration is a series of
chemical reactions which
happen in all living cells,
in which food is broken
down to release energy
usually by combining it
with oxygen.
66
There are two types of cellular
respiration:
Aerobic and
Anaerobic
67
Aerobic
Respiration
Aerobic Respiration is cellular
respiration that takes place in the
presence of oxygen.

Anaerobic
Respiration
74
Anaerobic Respiration is cellular
respiration that takes place without
oxygen present.
75
There are two types of fermentation:
lactic acid fermentation (animals) and
alcoholic fermentation (plants and
yeast).

Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze, or affect the rate, of
chemical reactions without themselves being altered in the
process. Specific enzymes catalyze each cellular reaction.
79
EXERCISE AND OXYGEN DEBT
80
Lactic acid accumulates in your muscle cells
as fermentation proceeds during times of
strenuous exercise. During these times, your
respiratory and cardiovascular system cannot
transport oxygen to your muscle cells,
especially those in your legs, fast enough to
maintain aerobic respiration. To allow the
continuous production of some ATP, your
muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation.
81
When a period of exercise is over, lactic acid must be removed. The
body's tolerance of lactic acid is limited.
Lactic acid is taken to the liver by the blood, and either:
➔ oxidised to carbon dioxide and water, or
➔ converted to glucose, then glycogen - glycogen levels in the liver and
muscles can then be restored
These processes require oxygen. This is why, when the period of activity is
over, a person’s breathing rate and heart rate do not return to normal
straightaway.
The amount of oxygen required to remove the lactic acid, and replace the
body's reserves of oxygen, is called the oxygen debt.
When someone who has been exercising pays back an oxygen debt, it can
take from a few hours for normal exercise, to several days after a 82
Biogas
83
When organic matter, such as food
scraps and animal waste, break down
in an anaerobic environment (an
environment absent of oxygen) they
release a blend of gases, primarily
methane and carbon dioxide. Because
this decomposition happens in an
anaerobic environment, the process of
producing biogas is also known as
anaerobic digestion.
