Respiratory System




The picture link below shows a journey through the respiratory system



Notes are here and please get the DIAGRAM NOTES from me. Plus detailed notes here
Control of respiration
CO2 and H+ Levels
As monitored by the carotid and aortic bodies.  If these levels increase, they send a message to the  medulla oblongata Carotid bodies send the message through VAGUS NERVE.  Aortic bodies send the message through the GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NERVE.  Medulla oblongata stimulates the rib cage and the diaphragm to move faster.

Acidosis:  pH < 7.35         too much carbon dioxide
Alkadosis: pHB> 7.45       not enough carbon dioxide (sometimes caused by hyperventilation)

The normal blood pH is tightly regulated between 7.35 and 7.45.

Carbon monoxide:   hemoglobin has a higher affinity for CO than for O2 how would CO affect internal and external respiration?

2.  These notes which I gave out.
 the slideshowCirculation System
path of blood notes
  Major Blood Vessels
Do the review on blood vessels .
 and work on this guided study based on these summary notes
3.  Your notes on ECG:  these  fill in notes

review your gigantic DIAGRAM on circulation

and we will explore the  path of blood . In particular, we will replicate William Harvey's experiment
