Respiration Chapter 42
Respiration • Gas exchange • Movement of gas across membrane • Diffusion (passive) • To improve gas absorption • Increase surface area for diffusion • Decrease distance diffused gas travels • Respiratory organs
Amphibians • Lungs • Cutaneous respiration
Birds • Parabronchi (lungs) • Air sacs
Fig. 42-26 Air Air Anterior air sacs Trachea Posterior air sacs Lungs Lungs Air tubes (parabronchi) in lung 1 mm EXHALATION Air sacs empty; lungs fill INHALATION Air sacs fill
Anatomy • Mouth (nose) • Pharynx (back of throat) • Larynx (voice box) • Trachea
Anatomy • Bronchi (Bronchus) • Bronchioles • Alveoli • Air sacs • Gas exchange • One cell layer thick • Lung tissue consists of millions
Anatomy • Lungs • 3 right lobes • RUL, RML, RLL • 2 left lobes • LUL, LLL
Anatomy • Lung covered by a double folded membrane • Visceral pleural membrane: • Covers the lung • Parietal pleural membrane: • Lines inner wall of thoracic cavity
Anatomy • Pleural cavity: • Space between two membranes • Filled with fluid • Helps with movement of lungs
Breathing • Diaphragm • Muscle • Separates thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity • Intercostal muscles • Muscles between the ribs
Inhalation (inspiration) • Diaphragm contracts & flattens • Intercostal muscles contract • Raises the ribs • Increases volume (decreases pressure) • Air flows into the lungs
Exhalation (expiration) • Diaphragm relaxes & elevates • Intercostal muscles relax • Ribs lower • Decreased volume • Forces air out
Breathing measurements • Tidal volume • Amount of air moved into & out of lungs at rest • Vital capacity • Maximum amount of air that can be expired after forceful exhalation
Control of breathing • Normal breathing • Medulla oblongata • Respiratory control center • Neurons send impulse for muscles (diaphragm/intercostal) to contract • Inspiration (inhalation) • Stop sending impulse • Expiration (exhalation)
Control of breathing • Blood O2 & CO2 in normal range • Neurons respond to a change in O2 & CO2 • More response to CO2 • Increase CO2 • Increases carbonic acid (H2CO3) • CO2 +H2O⇆H2CO3 ⇆H+HCO3 • Lowers pH
Control of breathing • Stimulates peripheral chemoreceptors • Aorta & carotids • Send impulses to respiratory control center (medulla oblongata) • Stimulates increased breathing
Control of breathing • Central chemoreceptors • Located in brain • Respond to increased amount of CO2 • Peripheral receptors immediate response • Central receptors maintained response until pH is back to normal
Transport of gas • Hemoglobin • Contains four heme groups • Center of each heme group is an iron • Oxygen binds the iron (4 O2 molecules) • Oxygen in blood is mostly bound to Hgb • Little is dissolved plasma
Transport of gas • Oxyhemoglobin • Hemoglobin full of oxygen • Lungs • Deoxyhemoglobin • Hemoglobin releases some oxygen • Capillaries

Transport of gas • Blood that leaves lungs 97% saturated • Circulates oxygen diffuses into tissues • 75% saturated • Allows for reserves of oxygen • Exercise • Cardiac arrest
Transport of gas • Decreased pH • Lower affinity of oxygen for hemoglobin • Releases oxygen • Increased temperature • Lower affinity • Exercise • Increased CO2, decreased pH, increased temperature • Increased release of O2 to muscles
Transport of gas • CO2 • In tissues • Small amount bound to protein part of Hgb • Remaining CO2 in RBC • Forms carbonic acid H2CO3 • Carbonic anhydrase
Transport of gas • Carbonic acid separates • Bicarbonate (HCO3-1) & H+1 • Buffer • Blood at alveoli • Carbonic anhydrase reverses • Forms water & CO2 • CO2 diffuses into lungs
Abnormalities • Emphysema • Lung disease that destroys alveoli sacs • Decreases vital capacity • Traps air • Hypoventilation • Decreased air movement increased CO2 • Hyperventilation • Increased air movement decreased CO2
