Chapter 34, Problem 1FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Respiration is a process used by organism for the exchange of gases with the environment through inhalation and exhalation. The respiratory system consists of the respiratory passage that extends through head, neck, and the lungs. The primary function associated with respiratory system is breathing.

Paragonimus westermani is a 12mm lung fluke in humans. Humans acquire infection by ingestion of uncooked or undercooked crustaceans such as crayfish or crabs containing the parasite. Within lungs, the parasite encapsulates and initiations an inflammatory response and sometimes edema. What should be the effect of the parasite on total lung capacity?

- O The toxin causes inappropriate firing of neurons leading to periods of rapid twitching that infected individuals experience as surnmation leading to tetanus. QUESTION 6 Mammalian lungs are very different in structure compared to amphibian lungs. The lungs of mammals have highly complex branching patterns of airways. The lungs of amphibians are simpler and more sac-like. Over all, the lungs of mammals are capable of much greater rates of gas exchange compared to amphibians. Why is this? O The more complex structure provides more surface area across which gas exchange can occur. O A complex structure means that gases have more contact time with gases compared to a simpler structure. O Mammalian lungs are usually much bigger relative to their bodies compared to amphibian lungs. O The respiratory membranes of mammals are able to diffuse gases across them much faster than amphibians. QUESTION 7 Click Save and Submit to sve and submit.
