Presentation Transcript

  1. The Respiratory System Chapter 22

  2. Functions • Surface for gas exchange • Movement of air • Protection of respiratory pathways • Sound production • Assistance with olfaction

  3. Conduction Zone

  4. Respiration Zone

  5. Respiratory Membrane • Simple squamous epithelia • Pneumocytes type 1 • Pneumocytes type 2 (septal) • Alveolar macrophages • Respiratory membrane • Epithelia • Endothelia • Shared (fused) basement mebrane http://iws.collin.edu/mweis/Images/Histology/2402%20histology/Respiratory%20Histo/labeled%20resp%20histo/resp_phys_alveolus_typecells_histo_labeled.png

  6. Mechanics of Breathing(exchange of air between atmosphere and lungs) • Pulmonary ventalation maintains alveolar ventilation • Atmospheric pressure effects ventilation • Boyles Law P=1/V (http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/aboyle.html) • Ventilation causes volume and pressure changes • Intrapulmonary pressure • Intrapleural pressure

  7. Mechanics of Breathing

  8. Physical Factors • Airway resistance • Alveolar surface tension • Lung Compliance • change in lung volume/change in lung pressure

  9. Gas Exchange • Dalton's Law =the partial pressure of a gas is the pressure contributed to the mixture of gases • Henry's Law =the amount of gas in solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure • Partial pressures gradients drive gas exchange • Amount of gas in solution depends upon the solubility

  10. Gas Transport • Red blood cells are sacs of hemoglobin bound O2 • CO2 uses 3 methods • Conversion to carbonic acid (HCO3-) =70% • Bound to hemoglobin = 23% • Dissolved in plasma =7%

  11. Gas Transport

  12. Control of Respiration

  13. Control of Respiration

  14. Control of Respiration

  15. Control of Respiration

  16. Respiratory Adjustments • Exercise • High Altitude • Scuba Diving • Hyperbaric Chambers
