The Mechanism of Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen Exchange in the Respiratory of Human
Title: the mechanism of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange in the respiratory of human
Abstract
The purpose of the experiment is to determine gas exchange activity in the respiratory system of human. The first lab for comparing the room and breathe temperature was to understand the function of the nasal cavity where the gas passed after an inhalation. The second lab for changing of chest circumference and abdomen circumference between inspiration and expiration was to know how the air moved in and out. The third lab of level of time of bromothymol blue colour change between normal and exercise was to discover the change level of carbon dioxide in the blood between relaxed and exercise. The forth lab of change time of holding breath after deep breath and quick breath was to show level of carbon dioxide change in the blood after deep breath and quick breath. The fifth lab of measuring diameters of the balloon which was blew by normal and force exhalation was to get the vital volume and the vital capacity form the graph of lung volume vs. balloon diameter.
Introduction
The major function of the respiratory system is gas exchange between the external environment and an organism's circulatory system. In humans, this exchange facilitates oxygenation of the blood with a concomitant removal of carbon dioxide and other gaseous metabolic wastes from the circulation. As gas exchange occurs, the acid-base balance of the body is maintained as part of homeostasis. If proper ventilation is not maintained, two opposing conditions could occur: respiratory acidosis, a life threatening condition, and respiratory alkalosis (West, John B. 1993). That is why people need to understand their mechanism of gas exchange in their respiratory system.
Materials and methods
In the experiment, materials required were a stop watch, a measuring tape, a thermometer, two straws, 25mL of bromthymol blue, two beakers, a balloon, a meter stick, two metric rulers and a bathroom scale.
