Effects of Exercise on Gas Exchange
- During exercise, muscles need more oxygen to produce energy.
- Breathing rate increases to take in more oxygen and expel more carbon dioxide.
- Heart rate increases to circulate oxygen-rich blood to muscles.
- Regular exercise can increase lung capacity over time, improving gas exchange efficiency.
Asthma and Its Effects
- Asthma affects the airways (bronchi and bronchioles), making breathing difficult.
- Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
- During an attack: muscles around airways tighten, lining becomes swollen and inflamed, and more mucus is produced.
- These changes reduce airflow and gas exchange efficiency in the alveoli.
- Triggers include exercise, allergies, cold air, and smoke.
- Inhalers relax airway muscles, opening the airways.
Harmful Substances in Cigarette Smoke
- Nicotine is addictive and increases heart rate and blood pressure.
- Carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin more strongly than oxygen, reducing oxygen transport.
- Tar coats the lungs, damages cilia, and contains carcinogens (cancer-causing substances).
Effects of Smoking on the Respiratory System
- Damaged cilia cannot remove mucus, leading to mucus buildup in airways.
- This can cause bronchitis and emphysema.
- Tar's carcinogens increase the risk of lung cancer.
Measuring Lung Volume
- Use water displacement with an upside-down bottle.
- Fill a large container with water and submerge an empty bottle, keeping the opening underwater.
- Inhale deeply, then exhale into a tube connected to the bottle.
- Exhaled air displaces water; the volume of displaced water equals lung volume.

1.Which substance in cigarette smoke is addictive?
Easy- ACarbon monoxide
- BTar
- CNicotine
- DCarcinogens
2.During exercise, what happens to heart rate and why?
Medium- AHeart rate decreases to conserve energy.
- BHeart rate increases to circulate oxygen-rich blood to muscles.
- CHeart rate remains the same because breathing rate increases.
- DHeart rate increases to reduce carbon dioxide levels only.
3.Which of the following is NOT a trigger for asthma attacks?
Easy- AExercise
- BAllergies
- CCold air
- DHigh blood pressure
4.During an asthma attack, the muscles around the bronchi and bronchioles tighten. What is the effect?
Easy- AThe diameter of the airways increases.
- BThe diameter of the airways decreases.
- CThe airways produce less mucus.
- DThe lining of the airways becomes thinner.
5.Why is carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke poisonous?
Medium- AIt damages the cilia in the airways.
- BIt binds to haemoglobin more effectively than oxygen, reducing oxygen transport.
- CIt causes the airways to produce more mucus.
- DIt increases heart rate and blood pressure.
6.Which of the following is a method to measure lung volume described in the source?
Easy- AUsing a spirometer with a mouthpiece and a rotating drum.
- BWater displacement with an upside-down bottle.
- CMeasuring chest expansion with a tape measure.
- DUsing a peak flow meter to measure exhalation speed.
7.Tar in cigarette smoke damages cilia. What is a likely consequence?
Medium- AIncreased oxygen absorption in the alveoli.
- BMucus builds up and sticks to the airways, potentially leading to bronchitis.
- CThe lungs become more efficient at gas exchange.
- DThe airways widen, making breathing easier.
8.How does regular exercise affect lung capacity over time?
Easy- AIt decreases lung capacity due to increased demand.
- BIt has no effect on lung capacity.
- CIt increases lung capacity, improving gas exchange efficiency.
- DIt only increases lung capacity in people with asthma.
