Term
Difference between respiration and ventilation
Definition
Ventilation: moving air/water

Respiration: Gas exchange
Term
Name 5 different ventilation methods
Definition
Dual pump: (Suction phase, then force phase where mouth closes and pushes it through. Sorta like a heart)
Cilia
Buccal Pump: Swallowing air/water basically
Ram Ventilation: Swims in opposite direction of medium, ramming it through
Lungs: lungs expand, air is sucked in. Lungs contract air pushed out
Term
Name 3 ways diffusion drives evolution of respiration
Definition
Surface area (alveolus expands)
Thinner layers of tissues to maximize diffusion (closer blood and median come, more O2 passes)
Moist tissue
Term
Challenges with breathing in water vs air
Definition
Water is harder to move, and has only 1% O2 while air has 20%
Term
What has one way vs tidal ventilation
Definition
Fish: One way
Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals: Tidal
Birds: One way!!!
Term
Describe the aspiration pump
Definition
Birds breathe by ribs flexing, fused wish bone) with their wings. Elevation/depression of sternum helps drive air

Inhale: air to posterior sacs through bronchi
Exhale: Air hits first part of lungs, displaced from post. sacs
Inhale 2: Air from lungs to anterior sacs
Exhale 2: Air completely exhaled
Term
Faveoli
Definition
Little cube like structures in lungs of amphibians/reptile. Not good at gas exchange
