Air enters the nose through two nostrils and reaches the nasal cavity. Here, the air is warmed and filtered. The hair present in the nostrils stop the dust or germs from entering the human respiratory system.

Trachea (windpipe)'s uses:
- The tube that leads to the lungs from the pharynx. - Contains rings of cartilage. - Lined with ciliated mucous membrane.

Bronchi's uses:
The two large that connects the trachea to the lungs.
24
New cards
Lungs' uses:
- The lungs are two large sponge-like organs that are located in the chest. - The lungs are divided into sections called lobes: ~ The left lung has 2 lobes. ~ The right lung has 3 lobes. - The left lung is smaller than the right lung due to the position of the heart.
25
New cards
Alveoli's uses:
- Site of gas exchange. - The bronchioles end in a cluster of minute air sacs called the alveoli.
26
New cards
Diaphragm's uses:
The muscle below the lungs that controls breathing. - Contracts during Inhalation - Relaxes during Exhalation - Major muscle of breathing
27
New cards
Intercostal muscle's uses:
Intercostal muscles are found between each of your ribs and provide support to your upper body and assist in breathing.
28
New cards
Respiratory tract function:
Inhale air into the lungs.
29
New cards
Respiratory organs function:
Exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in the blood.
30
New cards
What 4 stages can gas exchange in humans be divided into?
- Breathing - External Respiration - Internal Respiration - Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide transport
31
New cards
Gas Exchange in humans:
- Occurs in the alveoli - Oxygen diffuses into the blood - Carbon Dioxide diffuses into the lungs

What is a mixture?
A mixture is made up of 2 or more types of atoms that are NOT chemically combined together.
35
New cards
What are the 2 major types of mixtures?
- Heterogeneous; meaning different - Homogeneous; meaning same
36
New cards
What are the characteristics of mixtures?
- Variable composition - Components retain their characteristic properties. - May be separated into pure substances by physical methods. - Mixtures of different compositions may have widely different properties.
37
New cards
Note:
38
New cards
What are Pure Substances?
Elements or compounds that consists of only one type of particle, e.g., Oxygen, honey, etc.
39
New cards
What are the characteristics of Pure Substances?
- Pure Substances cannot be separated by physical means. ~ Elements: Cannot be chemically separated, listed in the periodic table. ~ Compounds: Can be chemically separated, made up of elements.
40
New cards
Pure Substances' uses:
In the pharmaceutical industry, medicine must be tested for purity before they are sold. Impurities in drugs and food may produce undesirable side effects.
41
New cards
How to determine the purity of a substance?
- Checking the melting point of a substance - Checking the boiling point of a substance - Performing Chromatography
42
New cards
What are the factors affecting diffusion?
- Temperature - Surface Area - Concentration - Size of particles - Diffusion medium
43
New cards
What is Pressure?
Pressure is the force per unit area that one object exerts on another.
44
New cards
Pressure depends on __(a)__ over which __(b)__ is distributed
(a) area (b) force
45
New cards
What are the characteristics of pressure in a liquid?
- Acts equally in all directions. - The bottom of a boat is pushed upward by water pressure. - Pressure acts upward when pushing a beach ball under water.
46
New cards
How does pressure vary?
- When we're on land, the pressure inside our bodies is the same as the pressure of the air around us. - However, when people go diving, there is extra pressure from the water above. The greater the depth, the higher the pressure. - When you're deep in the water, the pressure results from the weight of water pressing down on you from above.
47
New cards
What are the properties of Gases?
- Gases have mass. - Gases take shape and volume of all containers. - Gases are compressible. - Gases easily move through each other. (e.g., perfume) - Gases exert pressure.
48
New cards
What are the characteristics of Pressure in Gases?
- Gases exert pressure on their surroundings. ~ E.g., A balloon filled with air. Air pushes against the elastic sides if the balloon and keeps it firm. - Gas pressure is the name given to the force exerted by gas particles colliding with the wall of their container. ~ A car tyre contains gas under pressure.
49
New cards
Show a diagram showing gaseous particles in a container to represent pressure in gases: (Arrows can be added to show the force exerted by the particles on the walls of the container.)
50
New cards
What are the units for pressure, force, and area?
Pressure = Pa (Pascal) Force = N (Newtons) Area = m² (square meter)
51
New cards
Write Pressure, Force, and Area in equation form:
Pressure = Force ÷ Area Force = Pressure x Area Area = Force ÷ Pressure
52
New cards
Note:
1 Pascal is the same as 1 Newton per square meter.

What is solubility in water?
- Water solubility is a measure of the amount of chemical substance that can dissolve in water at a specific temperature. - The unit of solubility is generally in mg/L (milligrams per liter) or ppm (parts per million).
63
New cards
What are the different types of solutions?
- Saturated Solution: ~ Holds the maximum amount of solute. - Unsaturated Solution: ~ Holds less than the maximum amount of solute. - Supersaturated Solution: ~ Holds more than the maximum amount of solute.
64
New cards
What is solubility?
The amount of solute that dissolves in a solvent.
65
New cards
What are the factors affecting solubility?
- Temperature ~ As temperature increases, the solubility of solids in liquids increases. ~ As temperature increases, the solubility of gases in liquids decreases.
66
New cards
What solubility does pressure affect?
- Pressure only affects the solubility of gases. ~ As air pressure increases, solubility of a gas increases.
67
