Respiration in Human Beings

Respiration:- a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.

 Breathing:- The inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide is called as breathing.

breathing is very important for respiration because with out oxygen, cells cannot break glucose molecules to obtain energy from them.

Respiratory system
Nose is the important organ of respiratory system, we inhale air through nose and it reaches to lungs through Trachea or wind pipe.

Lungs are a pair of spongy, air filled organs on the either side of the chest. The main branch  called as Primary Bronchus divides into two branches and enters inti the two lungs one in each. Secondary bronchus arises from the primary bronchus , and tertiary bronchus from secondary. Each lung has 3 lobes
       1.Superior Lobe
       2.Middle Lobe
       3.Inferior Lobe
                                   Lungs are covered by a thin tissue layer called the Pleura. Lungs are bordered by the diaphragm, which helps in breathing by contraction and relaxation.
On the end of the bronchioles there are present cluster of microscopic sac like structures called as Alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen from the air is absorbed into the blood, carbon dioxide , a waste product of metabolism , travels from the blood to the alveoli, where it can be exhaled.
Break down of Glucose takes place in Mitochondria of the cell.

chemical reaction       C6H12O6 + O2 ⟶ CO2 + H2O + Energy ( in the form of ATP, Adinosine Triphosphate)

  MODES OF REPRODUCTION USED BY SINGLE ORGANISMS                                                            Part 1 The modes by which various organisms reproduce depend on the body design of the organisms. Unicellular organisms reproduce by means of following processes:- Fission:-   Fission is the process of spliting of unicelluar organisms or single celled organisms into the two are more than two cells, each cell forms the new individual. The new individual formed is exact copy of parent cell. Fission is of two types:-            A) Binary Fission:-  when the single parent cell divides into two new daughter cells, each new                                                ...

Male reproductive system

Reproduction In Human Beings Reproduction:- It is the biological process in which organisms give offspring for the continuity of race. A complete system is concerned to perform this function called reproductive system. Here we are going to discuss sexual reproduction in Human Beings. As we human beings are diocious i.e male and female sexes are separate Male reproductive system in Human Beings. Testis:- These are the primary sex organs of males, testis produce male sex cells (sperms) as well as male sex hormone testosterone. Testis lie out side the body between the lungs in a muscular pouch called Scrotum.Scrotum maintains the temperature of testis which is below 3℃ than body temperature. Testis are two in number. Alongside the testicles are the  epididymis   and the  vas deferens.  which make up the duct system of the male reproductive organs. The vas deferens is a muscular tube that passes upward alongside the testicles and transports the sperm-...

Absorption of Nutrients in Small Intestines

The digested food is now in simple form and is ready to use by cells. The inner wall of small intestines is called as Mucosa, it has numerous finger like projections called as Villi (singular- villus), which in-turn has finger like projections called as micro-villi. The purpose of villus is to provide large surface area for nutrient absorption. Villi have large network of blood capillaries, where the nutrients are absorbed in blood by diffusion.Most of the nutrients are absorbed in jejunum. except Iron is absorbed in duodenum  vitamin B12 and bile salts are absorbed in the terminal ileum. Through blood digested food reaches to each and every cell of the body.
