Exchange Of Gases In The Alveoli
Biology Chapter 4 Class 9 Notes Kerala Syllabus Question 21.
How far is the structure of alveoli suitable for the exchange of respiratory gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Answer:
Alveoli increase the respiratory surface area in lungs. The large surface area help in the easy exchange of respiratory gases.
Class 9 Chapter 4 Biology Notes Kerala Syllabus Question 22.
Explain the exchange of gases in alveoli?
Answer:
Alveoli increase the respiratory surface area in lungs. This large surface area help in the easy exchange of respiratory gases. Alveoli are surrounded by numerous capillaries. The inner wall of the alveoli is always kept moist. During inspiration, the concentration of oxygen inside the alveoli is higher than that of blood capillaries whereas the concentration of carbon dioxide in blood capillaries is higher than that of alveoli. As a result oxygen from the alveoli diffuses to the capillaries and carbon dioxide from capillaries diffuses to the alveoli

Answer:
Dust, germs, chemicals, etc. which are contained in the air we breathe in.
Question 51.
Find out the protective mechanism of the respiratory system? Explain.
Answer:
Nose, nasal cavity:
- Small hairs prevent dust and germs from entering the lungs.
- Dust particles and germs get entangled in the mucus secreted by the mucous membrane.
- Lysozyme present in the mucous destroys germs.
- Ciliary cells transport mucus that contains dust and germs to the pharynx and from there to the digestive tract.
Trachea:
- The germs and dust particles get entangled in the mucus secreted by the mucous cells(Goblet cells) and mucus glands seen throughout the tracheal wall.
- The cilia of ciliary cells in the tracheal wall move the mucus containing dust and germs to pharynx.
Alveoli:
- Macrophages, the specialized cells seen in the alveoli, engulf dust particles and germs.
Question 52.
‘Smoking is injurious to health’ Rekha reminded Rajeev. Do you agree with Rekha? Justify your answer.
Answer:
I agree with Rekha’s statement. Smoking is a bad habit that harmfully affects the human race. It not only affects the person who smokes but also affects the nearby persons who breathe the smoke. Carcinogens present in tobacco cause lung cancer. Alveoli rupture due to the loss of elasticity by the deposition of toxic substances contained in tobacco. This reduces the respiratory surface and reduces vital capacity. This stage is emphysema. The tar, carbon monoxide, etc. in tobacco leads to the deposition of mucus and the swelling of lungs due to the proliferation of germs in the alveoli. This stage is known as bronchitis.

| Your mouth isn’t an Ashtray |
| Smoking is the stupidest way to commit suicide. Stop being silly. |
| Kill a cigarette and save a life |
