Chapter 14:Respiratory System Professor Tracy Abram, MAIS, BS
Objectives Discuss functions of the respiratory system List major organs of the respiratory system Investigate and analyze internal and external respiration Mechanisms that regulate respiration
Inquiring Minds want to know… • What is the function of the respiratory system?
Respiratory System Functions: • Distributes air • Exchanges gasses • Effective Filterer • Dynamic Warmer • Super Humidifier
Structural Plan Figure 14-1 p. 363 • Respiratory Organs: • Nose-olfactory cells for sense of smell • Larynx- voice box • Pharynx- throat • Trachea-windpipe • Bronchi • Lungs • ***Tube with many branches of alveoli****
Alveoli Circulation capillaries Alveolar sac
Passive Transport • Diffusion: responsible for the gas exchange in the respiratory system.
Respiratory Tracts Upper Respiratory Tract Lower Respiratory Tract • Nose • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchi • Lungs
Bronchi, Bronchioles, & Alveoli • Figure 14-7, page 370
Cellular Respiration • When humans breathe, laugh or talk, we release carbon dioxide. This process is called cellular respiration. In cellular respiration, humans take in food and oxygen and release carbon dioxide and water to produce energy. • Respiration= • C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen)-----------> 6CO2 +6H2O + energy
Breathing mechanics Inspiration Expiration • Inhalation- moves air into the lungs • Diaphragm: muscles separating the abdomen from thoracic cavity • Exhalation- moves air out of the lungs • Figure 14-11 page 376
