Tick the correct statements :
1.Respiration is the process in which air moves
alternately into and out o our lun!s. "#$
2.The volume o our lun!s increases and
our lun!s ill up with air as we inhale. "#$
3.The chan!es o air pressure in our thoracic
cavity are %rou!ht a%out %y the muscle tissues
in our lun!s. "x$ &by the diaphragm'
4. (urin! exhalation) the air pressure in our lun!s
*s !reater than the air pressure outside
+ur %ody. "#$
,.(urin! inhalation) the air pressure in our lun!s
*s !reater than the air pressure outside
our %ody. "x$
The transport o oxy!en in the human %ody.

1.*nhaled air has hi!her oxy!en concentration.
2.The wall o the alveolus and wall o
%lood capillary are one cell thick.
This ena%les diffusion to take place eiciently.
3.Red %lood cell has red pi!ment) it is known as
Haemoglobin.
4.Gaseous exchange take place in the alveolus.
,.-aemo!lo%in com%ines with oxy!en produces
Oxyhaemoglobin.
..+xy!en is transported rom our lun!s to our
%ody cells in the orm o oxyhaemoglobin.
/.The diusion o oxy!en rom %lood capillaries
into the cells.
Diffusion of oxygen from blood capillaries
into the cells.
1.0lood rom the heart to the cells o the %ody
has a hi!her concentration o oxy!en.
2.1hen %lood lows throu!h the %lood
capillaries) the oxyhaemoglobin breaks
down into haemoglobin and oxygen.
3.The oxygen released and diffuses into the
cell.
4.The diusion o oxy!en rom the %lood
capillaries into the cells is due to a dierence
in oxy!en concentration %etween %lood and
the cells.
,.0lood capillaries has hi!her oxy!en
concentration and %ody cells has low oxy!en
concentration.
..+xy!en is used up or respiration)
Respiration is food oxidation process in
%ody cells
to releases energy, carbon dioxide and form
water)
