air is brought into the lungs by inhalation-> gas goes to alveoli -> gas enters capillaries
external respiration
-respiratory diffusion
-exchange from the alveoli and the capillaries
bult transport
movement along a pressure gradient
internal respiration
-cellular diffusion
-diffuse gas out of the capillary network and into the cells of the body
Dalton's Law
-multiple gases are present in the atmosphere and this law looks at the composition of them all
-total pressure=the sum of individual pressures of the gases
Henry's Law
-gases dissolve into liquid in proportion to their partial pressure
-until equilibrium is reached
high solubility
dissolved completely and cannot see any particles
low solubility
does not dissolve completely
______ temperatures dissolve faster
colder

most soluble gas
-carbon dioxide
-20x more than oxygen
alveolar gases
the composition of gas in the lungs
comparision of gas in atmoshpere to gas in alveoli
-more CO2 and H2O in alveoli
more H2O because more condensation from conductive pathway
-less O2 and N2 in the alveoli
because O2 does not stay in the alveoli it travels to the tissues and always leaves alvolis)
conductive pathway
conducts air from mouth to the alveoli

why is gas composition different
-we cannot empty lungs/ alveoli
-there is always air from the previous breath

if there is more water vapor produced
humid air in conductive pathway
humans can alter gas composition by taking deeper faster breaths
-this can flush out old air and bring in new air
-the ANS will increase breathing rate during exercise

-160
-104
atmosphere has ____ mmHg pCO2 --> ____ mmHg pCo2 in alveoli
-0.3
-40
how does oxygen travel?
lungs --> heart --> body

how does carbon dioxide travel ?
body --> heart --> lungs
Pressure Gradients
oxygen: in deoxygenated blood ( to lungs )
why is surface area important
because a larger surface area contact between vasculature and alveoli --> transfer between 2 areas more easily through diffusion
emphysema
-hard breathing from heavy smoking causes erosion of the wall of alveoli. Causing a loss in surface area.
-gas diffusion is not great --> this means that O2 is brought to the body
tumors
cause a thickening of alveoli wall--> less O2 enter because it has a harder time passing through
bronchitis
build up of mucous causes the rate of diffusion to go down, which means that not enough O2 is getting the body tissue
Ventilation perfusion coupling
-perfusion: bringing blood to the area
-in the lungs, not all alveoli are big/round and full of O2
-each alveoli is surrounded by capillaries
gas transport in blood
-want as much O2 to blood as possile
-dissolving in the plasma
(5L plasma in the body--> every L can carry <3 mLs of o2)
-use hemoglobin
(carry up to 200 ml?l o2)
(hemoglobin can also carries co2)
hemoglobin structure
-co2 is carried on alpha and beta globin
-98% of o2 is picked up in the RBC's
-2% in the plamsa
-4 heme groups to bind to
Hb-O2 affinity
this means that o2 is attracted to hemoglobin and wants to bind to it
decreasing Hb-O2 affinity
making it more difficult for oxygen to bind to hemoglobin
how can you decrease Hb-O2 affinty
-increase pCO2
(decrease in % saturation)
-elevate body temp
(less o2 binds to it)
-blood pH decrease
(lower number-->more acidic--> harder for o2 to bind to it)
-2,3 diphosphateglycerate
(RBC's do not have a lot of mitochondria and make ATP aerobically)
Ohypoxia
when there is an inadequate amount of O2 going to tissues
Anemia
-causes hypoxia
-someone has low number of RBC's --> they have low hemocrit--> cannot carry enough o2

ischemic
-causes hypoxia
-if there is a blockage in the circulatory system, it decreases flow--> therefore o2 is not transported
histoxic
enough o2 is transported to the cells, but the chemical prevents the enzymes in the electron transport from workin --> cannot use o2 to make ATP
hypoxemic
-too much co2 in blood and cannot get rid of it --> therefore there is not enouhg o2
-this can cause co2 poisoning
-a reduced pO2 is arterials
(not enough o2 in body)
CO2 transport (3 ways)
-dissolved in plasma--> 10%
-attached to hemoglobin--> 20-30%
-converting co2 into bicarbonate ions--> 60-70%
co2 transport - dissolved in plasma
goes from gas to liquid
co2 transport- attached to hemoglobin
-binds to Hb when o2 comes off to go to the tissue
-co2 attaches and goes casculature
-occurs in RBC's
co2 transport- convering into bicarbonate ions
co2+h2o ----> h2co3
bicarbonate ions
-more acid --> pH down
- no enzyme to speed this up
-slowly combine with h2o to become more acidic and disassociates to the H+ and hco3
-pH goes down when co2 is in the plasma
co2 transport into the lungs
-from the blood to the alveolis
-bicarbonate moves in, chloride moves out into the plasma--> reverse chloride shift
respiration
we need o2 to survive, and it needs to be done aerobically--> that way we use little glucose to make ATP
organization of lungs
-right lung- 3 lobes
-left lungs- 2 lobes
-branches from: tertiary-->primary bronchi -->secondary bronchi-->bronchioles-->alveolar ducts--> alveoli
2 pathways of the respiratory path

1. conductive pathway: conducts air into the lungs (moves up trachea, primary-secondary and tertiary bronchi)
2. interact with the capillaries in exchange (made up of bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli)
function of conduction pathway
-warm air going into lungs due to heat exchange
-air is cleaned through the passage way
(mucosa)
-air becomes humid
(dry air mixes with water vapor)
-phonation- the larynx is part of the conduction zone

function of respiratory zone
-surface area contact between vasculature and alveoli
-max o2 in and co2 out
-as exchange through diffusion
2 cells of respiratory zone- 2
1. type I cells: lined with epithelium
-flat cells, want there to be narrow distance between the alveoli and vasculature
-function=gas exchange
2. type II cells: production of surfactant- allows to break hydrogen bonds so they don't have yo form -->alveoli wont collapse-->maintain shape and can exchange gas
gas exchange
-oxygen-from alveoli to vasculature, carbon dioxide- from pulmonary capillaries to alveoli
-difference is partial pressure
gas must pass through 3 membranes
-epithelium
-fused basal layer
-capillary endothelium


diffusion distance
squamous cells--> more sufficent gas exchange--- the shorter the distance the better ( less distance to travel)

-180 L fluid filtered
-1.5 L peed out
-other 99% is reabsorbed
blood supply
there is a blood pressure drop in glomerli
-want continuous laminar flow to allow filtration

rate of glomerilar flitration supply is determined by

-filtration surface area (more glomerlular capillaries
-filtration membrane permeability (more perm. then fater filtration) (h2o very permeable and RBS and WBC are not)
-net filtration pressure (higher filtration pressure causes the rate of filtration to go up)
glomerular filtration rate:
the total amount of filtrate former in a nephron every minute
renal clearance
out of vascular and out of animal (getting it out of plasma)
GFR is regulated by:
-renal auto regulation: kidney does it itself
-nervous system: ANS
-Renin-angiotensin system: JG apparatus
renin
hormone that is released bt the kidned --> ANG2 in blood is regulated glomerluar filtration rate
JG apparatus made up of:

countercurrent multiplication
want concentrated urine --> save h2o
-if you get rid of too much your blood pressure will drop
-290 mOms is normal
-above 300= hypertonic
- below 300= hypotonic
-the proximal convoluted tubule is 300 mOms inside-->NaCl is reabsorbed by vascularue by active transport
-simple diffusion of urea and h2o
loop of Henley is approximately _______ mOms .
why?
-1200
-because 15% h2o is leaving and being reabsorbed by diffusion or osmosis-->further into the medulla, the concentration increases until you get to 12000
-comes out because the concentration in the nephron is less than in the interstition.
-salt DOES NOT leave
In the ascending loop og Henley ________ leaves
salt: actively pumped out-->higher concentration in the interstition
(NOT h2o)
-what happens in the descending relays on ascending loop

total reabsobtion
99% is reabsorbed (h2o)
1% urine
reabsorbtion of NaCl
because the concentration in the interstition goes up, and water is re absorbed in the descending loop
Urea
build up of concentration in the plasma-freely filters in the glomerulus
most of the nephron is ______ permeable to urea
NOT
-only the bottom of the collecting duct is
concentration gradient goes up to _____ mOms because of NaCl and urea being filtered and reabsorbed
1200
urea is _____ in the descending loop of Henley
secreted
concentraion of urine is determined by
-the collecting duct -->h2o going out, being reabsorbed
-ADH hormone: allows production of concentrated urine by: cells of the duct are permeable to water--> reabsorb eater

hormone related to urine concentration
Arginine vasopressin
-produces by the posterior pituitary gland and is signaled to release ADH to blood and targets the nephron (distal collecting duct)
vasa recta
draws h2o out of collecting duct, need high concentration in the medulla
-if blood is brought quickly to medulla some salt will enter the blood-->will run out of NaCl in the interstition--> cannot reabsorbe water
-this is why blood supply enters the vasa recta sloly
urine concentration is usually
290 mOms
+/- 5 mOms
urine dilution
caused by drinking more water channels--> h2o is impermeable/ cannot cross the cell --> water stays

why does urine dilution happen
-collecting duct-->h2o is not reabsorbed-->do not form water channels-->h2o is impermeable-->water stays
-arteial natiuretic peptide
atrial natriutetic peptide (ANP):
senses that blood pressure is too high-->ANP is released by arterial cells and targets the distal tubule and the collecting duct-->decreases sodium absorption-->h2o stays in the nephron and is released in urine
diuretics
-alcohol: affects the pituitary gland so it does not release ADH-->diluted urine is created
-caffeine: vasodilates GFR is increase--> more filtered, pee way more
-drugs: inhibit sodium and water absorption-->dehydration (pee more)
Micturition
-peeing
-can hold it sometimes
-urinary bladder muscle: detrusor muscle
sphincters
internal: smooth muscle (involuntary)
external: skeletal (voluntary)
fluid balance
