What do ventilators do?

Help people breathe- disease/ injury

1 of 10

Negative pressure

Causes air to be drawn in lungs and to be exhaled; air pumped into chamber causes vacuum.

2 of 10

Positive pressure

Forces air into lungs, pressure stops once inflated- lungs deflate; face mask or tube.

3 of 10

Energy is used for...

... growth/ repair, active transport, electrical pulses to nerves, heat generation, making proteins, moving.

4 of 10

Aerobic respiration (equation)

In the presence of oxygen! glucose+ oxygen-> carbon dioxide+ water (+energy)

5 of 10

Anaerobic respiration (equation)

In the absence of oxygen!! glucose-> lactic acid (+ energy)

6 of 10

Lactic acid causes...

fatigue.

7 of 10

How to get rid of lactic acid...

Oxygen debt- oxygen breaks down lactic acid (produces carbon dioxide and water)

8 of 10

Anaerobic in yeast (equation)

glucose-> ethanol+ carbon dioxide (+ energy)

9 of 10

Mitochondria

Most respiration reactions happen here; inner surface is folded to increase surface area.
