Respiration is not breathing!Respiration is a chemical reaction that creates energy at the working muscles making use of the oxygen. (mixing it with glucose)Breathing is a part of the respiration process – it is how we get oxygen into our bodies and how we get carbon dioxide out!
RESPIRATION (not breathing)
The Respiratory SystemThe respiratory systemis everything we use to breathe and supply our bodies with oxygen. We breathe air into our lungs. The oxygen is then transferred to our blood and taken around our body.
Trachea(wind pipe)
Bronchus
Bronchioles
Alveoli
Lung
Intercostalmuscles
Ribs
Diaphragm
Respiratory System Diagram
Inspiration - Breathing InWhen inhaling…
The intercostal muscles contract
and pull the rib cage up and out. The diaphragm contracts
causing it to flatten. The chest cavity getslarger causing pressurein the lungs to fall.
Air moves into the lungs from the higher outside
pressure.
Airflowing
in
The chest cavity getssmaller and so pressurein the lungs increases.
When exhaling…
Expiration - Breathing Out
The intercostal muscles relax and so the rib cage returns
to normal. The diaphragm relaxes
pushing it up.
Air flows out of the lungs. During periods of
exercise, expiration becomes an active process, involving the forced expulsion of air.

Gaseous Exchange Explained
CO² moves from the blood into the alveoli.O² moves across to the red blood cells. This is where it combines with haemoglobin to make oxyhaemoglobin.The red blood cells carry the O² to the body parts that require it. At the same time the blood takes the CO² back to the lungs so it can be oxygenated once again.
Anaerobic ExerciseAnaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, therefore it can only be used for short bursts
The following equations need to be learnt and REMEMBERED!
Aerobic respiration in the presence of O²is summarised as:Glucose + O²→Energy + CO²+H²O
Anaerobic respiration in the absence of O²is summarised as:Glucose →Energy + Lactic Acid
Oxygen debtThis happens as a result of the muscles respiring anaerobically during vigorous exercise because as our bodies run out of sufficient supplies of oxygen we call on glycogen (where have we heard this before?) stores. We can only do this for approximately 60 seconds, in this time we are effectively ‘borrowing’ oxygen, which is owed to the body. This is known as our oxygen debt. This will cause a build up of lactic acid in the working muscles and will make the muscles hurt. This is the main reason for completing a warm down – to allow the acid to disperse.
The Recovery PeriodImmediately after vigorous exercise we have to take in extra oxygen. This extra oxygen helps to convert the possibly painful presence of lactic acid into simple waste products that have to be removed from the body
How it is done
Expiration of breath – removes the CO2 and other waste products from our lungs
Perspiration – Temperature control and removes excess water, Although heat is not a waste product it needs to be removed to prevent overheating
Excretion – not really an explanation needed?!?!
