  1. The Pulmonary System Chapter 4 Part I: Functional Anatomy

  2. Objectives • Discuss the basic pulmonary structures and their functions • Discuss the processes of ventilation and respiration • Discuss the regulation of breathing and implications for injury or illness

  3. The Pulmonary System Anatomical Structures • Nasal passage • Oral cavity • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchi • Bronchioles • Alveoli • Capillaries

  4. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation • Mechanics of moving air in and out of the lungs • Respiration • Exchanges O2 and CO2

  5. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation • Requires active muscle contraction • Occurs passively

  6. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation • Inhalation or Inspiration • Requires active muscle contraction • Diaphragm • External intercostals • Accessory muscles • Abdominals • Sternocleidomastoids • Scalenes • Trapezius

  7. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation • Exhalation or Expiration • Occurs passively

  8. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation (Inspiration) • Air enters through nasal passage • Warmed • Filtered • Mucus • Cilia

  9. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation (Inspiration) • Air passes through pharynx  larynx  trachea

  10. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation (Inspiration) • Trachea branches to form R and Lbronchi

  11. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation (Inspiration) • Bronchi branch intobronchioles

  12. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation (Inspiration) • Bronchioles terminate into alveoli

  13. The Pulmonary System Functions • Respiration • Alveoli surrounded by network of thin walled capillaries

  14. The Pulmonary System Functions • Respiration • Gas exchange occurs across the thin walls of capillaries and alveoli

  15. The Pulmonary System Functions • Respiration • Gas exchange • O2 • CO2

  16. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation (Expiration) • Air moves back thru pulmonarysystem to be exhaled

  17. The Pulmonary System Functions • Ventilation (Expiration) • Air moves back through pulmonarysystem to be exhaled

  18. Regulation of Breathing • Central nervous system • Brain • Medulla is sensitive to CO2 levels in the blood • Inspiratory muscles controlled by phrenic nerve (C3-C5 nerve roots) and cranial nerve XI (sternocleidomastoid) Implications?
