Respiration is controlled by nervous and chemical regulation. المحاضرة الثانية عشرة I- Nervous Regulation : A-Momentary regulation as during swallowing or speech, there is momentary stoppage of respiration B-Continuous regulation : Through some reflex • Hering – Breuer reflex • Reflexes from baroreceptors • Reflex from right atrium (Harrison’s reflex)
II)- Chemical Regulation : Through changes in CO2 tension, O2 tension, and hydrogen ion concentration of blood (pH) 1-Effect of CO2 • CO2 is natural stimulus for respiration • Increase in CO2 tension will stimulate respiration reflex 2-Effect of O2 Decrease in O2 tension will stimulate respiration and vice versa. 3-Effect of pH of Blood • Decrease in pH (acidosis) will stimulate respiration, while increased pH (Alkalosis) will inhibit respiration
Some Respiratory Defects : • Dyspnea : Means difficulty of respiration. • Apnea : Means stoppage of respiration. • Hypoxia : Means decrease in O2 supply to the tissues. • Cyanosis : Means appearance of bluish colour of skin and mucous membrane due to effective oxygenation. • Asphyxia : If external respiration ceases. • Anoxia : Means complete deprivation of oxygen.
