|
Ribcage consists of the
|
12 pairs of ribs and sterunum
|
|
sternum
|
breast bone
|
|
posterior articulation
|
all articulate posteriorly with thoracic vertebrae & with the transverse processes of the vertebrae
|
|
anterior articulation
|
Upper 10 pairs T & F ribs articulate with sternum by means of costal cartilage
lower 2 pairs "floating ribs" have no anterior articulation |
|
Rib Motion
|
allows expansion and contraction of the thorax along the transverse dimension
|
|
What is --- shaft of the rib moves upward and outward. this movement of all ribs causes the thorax to expand form side- to side
|
Lateral expansion
|
|
what is -- upward and forward movement of the sternum carries the ribs along, causing the thorax to expand form front-to-back
|
anteroposterior expansion
|
|
Pectoral (shoulder) Girdle

the airway below the larynx
trachea bronchi bronchioles alveolar air sacs |
|
LRT trachea "windpipe"
|
cartilaginous (c rings) and membranous tube that extends downward from the larynx
C-shape allows for expansion of the larynx during greater respiratory exertion esophagus is located posterior to the trachea brakes into right and left - main primary bronchi |
|
LRT Bronchi
|
Main-stem bronchi (2)
a. subdivisions of the trachea b. one enters each lung these continue to subdivide; several levels of bronchi exists, ending in terminal bronchi bronchi terminate in to bronchioles |
|
LRT bronchioles
|
several levels of bronchioles also exist, and the bronchioles also repeatedly subdivide
terminate in alveolar ducts and air sacs |
|
Alveolar air sacs/ alveoli
|
Tiny air sacs at end of respiratory tract
very thin walls for gaseous exchange there are about 300 mil of these alveoli |
|
Gas exchange cannot take place

|
|
inspiration depend on what?
|
inspiration depends upon expansion of the thoracic cavity which expands the lungs' volume (pleural linkage)
|
|
transverse
|
lateral and anteroposterior expansion of the chest wall
|
|
vertical
|
contraction of the diaphragm pulls the lungs downward
|
|
why does the thorax expands and also the lungs ?
|
pleural linkage
|
|
why does air enter the lungs
|
Boyle's law
|
|
boyle's Law
|
states that volume and pressure are are inversely related
air flows from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure therefor, as lung volume increases bc of increasing thoracic expansion, lung presssure decreases; air flows into the lungs until lung pressure equals room's pressure air is not pushed or forced into the lungs it is drawn in like a syringe |
|
2 categories of muscles of inspiration
|
1 Primary - accounts for majority of the thoracic expansion
muscle- diaphragm 2. accessory muscles of insip. stabilization of thorax for insp can assist in thoracic expansion more active during forced inhalation |

|
Diaphragm attachments
|
originates on lower sternum, lower several ribs, and upper lumbar vertebrae
fibers insert into the central tendon |
|
Diaphragm function
|
Contraction causes the diaphragm to be pulled downward
increases the vertical dimension of the thorax also produces an outward movement of lower ribs which expand the lower thorax result is to increase the volume of the lungs |
|

a form of Tidal Breathing ; rhythmic
inspiration is active process muscular effort required small vol exchanged 500- 750 Expiration is passive elastic recoil and gravity ends at resting level |

Forced respiration
|
form of tidal breathing; rhythmic
increased demand for oxygen greater use of accessory muscles forced expiration is active |
|
Speech respiration

inspiration = active
expiration is controlled - passive expiratory forces |
|
relaxation pressure

alveolar pressure generated entirely by passive forces, + or -
passive forces - elastic recoil and gravity lung vol > than at resting level result in a + relaxation pressure lung vol lesser than at resitng lever = _ relaxation pressure alveolar/lung pressure in expiration can result form passive forces and active forces |
|
Alveolar pressure forr speech =
|
relaxation pressure + pressure form muscular forces
|
|
quiet expiration
|
greatest at onset of expiration
weakens as expiration continues reaches - at resting expiratory lever alveolar pressure & tracheal pressure weakens during expiration |
