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
