Pharynx (throat) • Oropharynx • Middle • Behind mouth • Tonsils • Lymph chain • Laryngeal pharynx • Lowest portion • Opens into 2 space
Larynx (voice box) • Location • Btw pharynx & trachea • Function • Vocalization • Protect Lower RT • Facilitates cough/sneeze
Larynx (voice box) • Glottis • Epiglottis • Epi = upon • Gateway / trap door • Flap of elastic cartilage • Thyroid cartilage • Adam’s apple • Male
Larynx (voice box) • Vocal cords • Cord like • Vibration • Controlled by muscles

Question? Mr. Henderson had a CVA 5 days ago and is having some difficulty swallowing. There is some question that he may have aspirated some food and developed pneumonia. What side pneumonia would you except him to have? A. Right sided B. Left sided
Lungs • Location • Thoracic cage • Airtight • Mult. Air sacs • Description • Rt • 3 lobes • Upper, middle, lower • Lf • 2 lobes • Upper • Lower
Lungs • Hilum (sngl)/ Hilus (pl) • URT • LRT • Bronchi • Bronchial tree • Bronchioles • No cartilage • Patency d/t • elastic recoil of the smooth muscles • alveolar pressure
Lungs • Cilia • Alveolar ducts • Smallest tubes • Alveoli • Functional unit • Air sacs • Gas exchange • Surrounded by pulm. Capillaries
Lungs • Alveoli • Thin membrane • Tendency to collapse • Alveolar Pressure • Secreted surfactant
Lungs • Surfactant • Soft • Open • i surface tension • Prevents collapse • Allows exchange • Stretch/sigh • i surfactant • Stiff & Collapse • Atelectasis
Pleural membrane • Location • Surrounds surface of lung & interior wall of thorax • Function • Protects • Neg. pressure • Allows movement (i friction)
Pleural membrane • Parietal pleura • Line chest cavity • Visceral pleura • Covers lungs • Pleural space/cavity • Btw • Contains fluid • h fluid = pleural effusion
Mediastinum • Location • Space btw lungs • Contains • Heart • Large blood vessels • Esophagus • Trachea • Bronchi
Diaphragm • Location • Muscle btw lungs & abd. Cavity • Aids in resp • CNS • C-3 - C-5 • h size of cavity • i pressure • Air flows from area of higher pressure to lower pressure
Inspiration • Contracts • Lowers • Pressure • i • Expiration • Relax • Raises • Pressure • h
Skeletal System • Ribs • 12 pairs • Thoracic cage • Sternum • Manubruim • Body • Xiphoid process
Pulmonary circulation • Main function of resp. system is to deviler O2 to the blood & remove CO2 from it. • Pulm. Art. • CO2 / deoxygenated • Pulm vein • O2 / oxygenated
Blood flow: heart and lungs • Inf/sup vena cave • Rt atrium • Tricuspid • Rt ventricle • Pulm • Pulm art • Pulm cap • Pulm vein • Lt atrium • Bicuspid / mitral • Left venticle • Aorta
Small Group Questions • Name the structures that air flows past on its way to the lungs • What is the primary function of the sinuses • How is speech produced? • What is the function of the epiglottis? • What are the supporting structures of the trachea?
What are the hilus and the carina? Where are they located? • How many lobes do the rt and lf lungs each have? • Describe the movement of the diaphragm during inspiration and expiration. • What is the function of surfactant? What stimulates its release? • What is the purpose of the serous fluid btw the pleural membranes?
Processes of respirations Ventilation • Movement of air in & out of the the tracheobronchial tree. Delivering O2 to the alveoli & removing CO2 Perfusion • Blood flow in the capillary bed in the lungs Diffusion • Movement of gases (O2 & CO2) across the alveoli membrane • Flows from area of greater concentration to lesser concentration
Ventilation: Mechanics • Air pressure • Air moves from h pressure i pressure • How to you i pressure? • h size • How do you h pressure? • i size
Ventilation: Mechanics Airway resistance • SIZE • Anything that i diameter of resp. tube • h resistance • i ventilation • Asthma, bronchitis, obstruction
Ventilation: Mechanics Lung Compliance • compliance • Elasticity of lungs • Factors • Surface tension • Connective tissue • h compliance • Over distended
Ventilation: Lung Function Measures ventilation • Lung Volume • Tidal Volume* • Norm I – Norm E • IRV • Norm I – Max I • ERV • Norm E – Max E • Residual volume* • Left over after expiration
Ventilation: Lung Function Measures ventilation • Lung Capacity • Vital capacity* • Max E – Max I • TV+IRV+ERV • IC
Ventilation: Lung Function Measures ventilation • Lung Capacity • FC • TLC* • All vol. together • TV+IRV+ERV+RV
Question? Given the following values, what is the patients Vital capacity? Total lung capacity? TV – 500 ml IRV – 2000 ERV – 1000 RV – 1500
Answer! TV – 500 ml IRV – 2000 ERV – 1000 RV - 1500 • Vital capacity • TV + IRV + ERV • 500+2000+1000 = • 3500ml • TLC • TV+IRV+ERV+RV • 500+2000+1000+1500 • 5000ml
Perfusion • Blood flow through the pulm circulation • Rt vent. • Pulm art divides into rt & lf • Shunted blood • no ventilation • “shunted” • receives no oxygenation
Perfusion • Low pressure system • 20-30/5-15 • Alveolar pressure • h alveolar pressure • capillaries squeezes • i perfusion
Diffusion • Process where O2 & CO2 are exchanged at the air-blood interface
Control of Respiration • Autonomic (some voluntary control) • Resp. control center • Brain stem • Pons • Rhythm • Medulla oblongata* • Rate • Normal rate • 12-20 /min
Control of Respiration • Center is controlled by: • CO2 tension, • O2 tension • acidity (pH) of arterial blood
Control of Respiration • Chemo receptors • Monitor • CO2 • O2 • pH • Normal Values • PaCO2: 35-45 torr • PaO2: 80-100 torr • pH: 7.35-7.45
pH review • Blood concentration of Hydrogen ions • pH h • Alkaline / alkalosis • Base • pH i • Acidic / acidosis • Acid
Control of Respiration • Primary stimulant for respiration • PaCO2 level • h PaCO2 • h resp. rate
Control of Respiration • O2 carried in the blood • Hgb / RBC • CO2 carried in blood • CO2+ H2O = H2CO3 • Carbonic acid • CO2 = Acid
