What is the structure of alveoli (3 parts)?

And type of tissue?
Septal Cells
Alveolar Macrophages
Respiratory Membrane
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Septal Cells?
Produce lipid called surfactant (reduces surface tension on alveoli)
Prevents them from collapsing
Alveolar Macrophages
Phagocytic cells that combat foreign materials (dust busters).

Part of Alveoli
Respiratory Membrane
Simple Squamous tissue of alveoli and capillaries (2 layers)

Respiratory Gasses diffuse here
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Insufficient surfactant results in immature lungs in fetus. Leading cause of Fetal death. (respiratory distress syndrome)
Pleural Membrane
Visceral adheres to itself

Parietal adheres to thoracic cavity


These 2 layers contact and keep lungs inflated

They cover the lungs
Lungs (Lobulated?)

of Man?
All vertebrate lungs are lobulated
Man has 2 left lobes, 3 right lobes
Inhalation aka?

Active/Passive?

What muscles?

What happens to volume, pressure etc?
Inspiration

Active process

Muscles between ribs called intercostal muscles and diaphragm must contract
By contracting intercostal muscles and diaphragm, interthoracic volume and interpulmonary volume increase, thus pressure decreasing. Atmospheric pressure being greater than lung pressure results in inhalation.
Exhalation aka?

Active/Passive?
Expiration

Passive process

Simply the recoil of contracted muscles
Functional unit of Respiratory System?
Alveoli
At 100mmHg 98.5% of Oxygen is transported as what?

Oxygen binded to?
Oxy-hemoglobin

Iron (Fe) component of hemoglobin can transport 4 Oxygen molecules
Only 1% is dissolved oxygen
What are the 3 factors affecting % saturation aka?

Explain each

Which is greatest and least contributor?
% Saturation = amount of oxyhemoglobin

Partial Pressure of Oxygen

Bohr Effect

Temperature
Partial pressure of oxygen is greatest factor. Low = less % saturation (Graph)


Bohr Effect- hydrogen binds to hemoglobin altering its structure, causing release of oxygen from molecule (less % saturation). Decreasing pH (increasing acidity) does same thing. Hydrogen ions come from CO2.

Higher temperature favors dissociation of oxygen, thus less % saturation
3 Ways CO2 is transported?

Greatest and least contributor?

Explain each
CO2 dissolved in plasma (10%, least)

Carbaminohemoglobin (30%)

Bicarbonate Ions (60%) (Chloride shift included)
Carbaminohemoglobin -
When carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin, carbaminohemoglobin is formed, lowering hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen via the Bohr effect.


Bicarbonate Ions-
Carbonic acid dissociates into bicarbonate resulting in bohr effect.
(Chloride Shift)-
-For every bicarb ion leaving blood cell (entering plasma) to be transported to lungs, a chloride ion enters cell to prevent ionic imbalance in cell.
-At lungs the reverse happens
3 Conditions effecting gas exchange through stomata + guard cells (causing turgidness)

and 3 causing flaccidness?
(Potassium moves into guard cells, water follows osmotically)(Turgid and open)

Light, Low CO2, Biological Clock
(Potassium moves out of guard cells, water follows osmotically)
(Flaccid and closed)

Dehydration, High CO2, Abscistic Acid (when plant stressed)
3 Forces contributing to transpiration?

What part of plant performs and subunits?

Explain the 3 forces
Transpirational Pull

Root Pressure

Cohesion theory of Water



Water moves up plant through Xylem.
Subunits: Tracheids and vessel elements function as dead empty channel up through root.
Transpirational Pull
• Evaporation of water vapor through the stomata
• Establish of water potential (dry at top of plant), water wants to move up to plant to replenish



Root Pressure:
• Osmotic pressure caused by solute concentration from soil into root



Cohesion theory of Water:
- Since water stays together through dipole attraction, once you push it through it will move through xylem and adhere to walls of xylem.
- Most forceful of the 3 phenomena of water up through xylem
2 Units of Phloem Tissue?

Describe them
Sieve Cells/ Sieve Tube Members

Companion Cells/Albuminous Cells


Alive at maturity (Active transport)
Sieve elements are the group of cells that are responsible for actually moving sugar-laden fluids through the plant.



The survival of sieve-tube members depends on a close association with the companion cells, a specialized form of parenchyma cell. All of the cellular functions of a sieve-tube element are carried out by the (much smaller) companion cell
3 Cell types of Xylem tissue?
Tracheids and Vessel Elements

Living Parenchyma

Fibers



Dead at maturity (Passive transport)
What is source and sink?
Source= location sugar is produced
Sink= where it is used
Loading part of translocation means what?

What pump does it use to perform this?
Active transport of sucrose into phloem against concentration gradient, sucrose (made in leaf)
Proton Pump
Unloading part of translocation occurs where?

How is water involved?
Unloads sugar at sink.

Active transport of out of phloem.

Water osmotically follows
3 levels of breathing and explanation?
External

Internal

Cellular
External - breathing in O2 and out CO2

Internal- Exchange of gases between blood and capillaries


Cellular- utilization of nutrients and oxygen to produce energy
What is tendinniae and where is it located?
Cutin spirals in epithelial wall of tracheal tubes that prevent collapse and is located in tracheal systems

They are not located in tracheoles, the smallest of the branches
Describe tracheal systems and tracheoles?
Found in insects and some other arthropods
Does not use circulatory system to transport respiratory gases
Takes air directly from outside
Branched network of tubes kept open by tennidiae
