Respiration in the respiratory system |
Pulmonary ventilation movement of air in and out of the lungs. External respiration O2 and CO2 exchange between the lungs and the blood |
|
Respiration and the circulatory system |
Transport O2 and CO2 in the blood Irenternal respiration O2 and CO2 exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues |
|
Respiratory Zone |
Site of gas exchange |
|
Conducting zone |
Conduits to gas exchange sites |
|
Fxs of the Nose |
Moistens and warms the entering air. Filters and cleans inspired air |
|
Nasal cavity and respiratory mucosa |
Cilia move contaminated mucus posterior ky to throat |
|
fxs of Larnyx |
Provide a patent airway Routes air and food into proper channels Voice production |
|
Larnyx |
Vocal ligaments(true vocal chords) form core of vocal folds that vibrate to produce Sind as air rushes up from lungs Vestibular folds(false vocal chords) No part in sound production help to close the glottis during swallowing |
|
Voice production |
Speech intermittent release of expired air while opening and closing glottis Pitch is determined by the length and tension of vocal chords Loudness depends upon the force of air |
|
Conducting zone structures |
trachea right and left main bronchi (right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and vertical than left.) terminal bronchioles are the smallest less than .5mm diameter |
|
Respiratory |
300 million alveoli account for most of the kings volume and are the main site for gas exchange |
|
Respiratory membrane |
Alveolar Andy capillary walls and their fused basement membranes Type II cuboid use cells secrete surfactant and antimicrobial proteins |
|
Lungs |
Left lung is smaller 2 lobes separated oblique fissure (cardiac notch of left lung) Right lung 3 lobes separated by horizontal fissures |
|
Pleurae |
Parietal pleura on thoracic wall and superior face of diaphragm Visceral pleura on external lung surface |
|
Pulmonary ventilation |
inspiration gases flow into lungs Expiration gases exit the lungs Depend on volume changes in the thoracic cavity |
|
Intrapulmonary pressure |
Pressure in the alveoli |
|
intrapleural pressure (Pip) |
Pressure in the plural cavity always a negative pressure Negative pip caused by Two inward forces promote lung collapse One outward force tends to enlarge the lungs |
|
Pressure relationships |
If pip = Ppul lungs collapse Transpolmonary pressure= Ppul-Pip> keeps airways open |
|
Bowles law |
The relationship between the pressure and volume of gas |
|
Inspiration |
Active process. Lungs are stretched and intrapulmonary volume increases and pressure drops |
|
Expiration |
Passive process intrapulmonary volume decreases Ppul rises |
|
3 factors that hinder air passage and pulmonary ventilation |
1. Airway resistance 2. Alveolar surface tension 3. Lung compliance |
|
Airway resistance |
Friction is the major non elastic source of resistance to gas flow |
|
Alveolar surface tension |
Attracts liquid molecules to one another at a gas-liquid interface |
