Announcements • Extra Credit Assignment • Extra Credit Quiz
Quick and Painless Review • Where is your thymus? • What is the difference between lymph nodules and MALT? • What is the difference between your lymph nodes and your spleen?
Respiration Overview • Anatomy of the Respiratory System • Mathematics of the Respiratory System • How do you evaluate malfunctions in the respiratory system?
Respiratory System • Respiratory System: Functions?
Respiratory System • Respiratory System: Functions? • Receive air for breathing • Exchange gases (O2. CO2) with the blood • Expel modified air
Upper Respiratory Tract • Nasal Cavity • Guard Hairs • Mucous • Oral Cavity • Pharynx • Posterior to Nasal and Oral Cavities • Cleans Air • Intersection of Respiratory and Digestion
Upper Respiratory Tract • Epiglottis- • Flap blocks food from entering the lower respiratory tract • Larynx • 9 plates of Cartilage • Large Chamber • Contains vocal cords
Anatomy of the Larynx • Intrinsic and extrinsic muscles in larynx pull the cartilage • This causes the cords to move • Males have thicker cords
Functions of the Upper Respiratory Tract • Cleans air • Guard hairs • Mucus (MALT) • Cilia • Warms air • Moistens air
Anatomy of the Lungs • Trachea • C-shaped cartilage • Mucociliary escalator • Primary Bronchi • Cartilage • Right wider than left • Secondary Bronchi • Tertiary Bronchi • More branches on right
Mucociliary Escalator • Muscus- • Traps particles • Cilia- • Move particles up toward pharynx
Lower Respiratory Tract • Bronchioles • Small – 1mm or less • No longer contain cartilage • Continue Branching • Terminal Bronchioles • Last passages before aveoli • Still have Cilia • Alveoli – where gas exchange occurs • Phagocytosis removes small particles
Lower Respiratory Tract • Convey air to alveoli • Clean air and remove particles by mucociliary elevator • Macrophages in aveoli phagocytize foreign particles – last line of defense

Mechanism of Airflow • Airflow is a result in changes of pressure between two systems • System 1: the outer atmosphere • System 2: the pressure within the alveoli • How does pressure change within the alveoli?
Mechanisms of Airflow • How does pressure change within the alveoli? • Boyles Law: P 1/V (Changes in Volume result in changes in Pressure!!!!!) • How does volume change within the alveoli?
Mechanism of Airflow • How does volume change within the alveoli? • Inspiration • The diaphragm expands the thoracic cavity during quiet inspiration • Deep inspiration is aided by the pectoralis minor, the sternocleidomastoid and the erector spinae muscles (external intercostals)
Mechanism of Airflow • Expiration • Quiet Breathing: Volume changes are not caused by muscular contraction, rather the elasticity of the lungs and ribs • Deep expiration: internal intercostals, abdominal muscles
Alveolar Gas Exhange • O2 loads into RBC; CO2 unloads into the alveoli • Factors involved: • Concentration gradients • Solubility in H2O • Membrane thickness • Membrane area
Oxygen Transport and Carbon Monoxide • Oxygen is carried through the blood stream by hemoglobin • Carbon Monoxide binds to hemoglobin 200x better.
Carbon Monoxide • Sources?
Carbon Monoxide • Sources? • Car Exhaust • Cigarette Smoke
Smoking Chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and cancer Over 2000 chemicals in tobacco smoke. • What gives the lung at the top its dark color?
Carcinogens in Tobacco • Carcinogen: substance that increases the potential for tumor growth • 50 carcinogens in smoke (2 radioactive) eg.- Nicotine, Formaldehyde • Implicated in 90% of lung cancers
Dynamic Human Mechanics of Breathing, Gas Exchange, and Carbon Monoxide
Spirometry • Respiratory volumes • tidal volume: air inhaled or exhaled in one quiet breath • inspiratory reserve volume: air in excess of tidal inspiration that can be inhaled with maximum effort • expiratory reserve volume: air in excess of tidal expiration that can be exhaled with maximum effort • residual volume: air remaining in lungs after maximum expiration, keeps alveoli inflated
Spirometry Exercise • Each group is to measure one members tidal and expiratory reserve volume. • Record on front board, indicating gender. • After all groups are done, average total to get class average tidal and expiratory reserve volume and compare to known averages.
Bronchioscopy • Flexible tube with camera attached • Used to identify blockages in bronchi and to biopsy tumors/growths
Dynamic Human Spirometry and Bronchoscopy
Asthma • Inflammation reaction in the lung caused by and allergen • Results in bronchoconstriction and sometimes suffocation
Treatments for Asthma • Inhalers – daily or rescue • Albuterol • Vanceril • Pills - daily • Accolade • Singular • Injection or Nebulizer - rescue • Ephinedrine
