THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Chapter 22
RESPIRATION The exchange of gases between the atmosphere, lungs, blood, and tissues
Respiration • Pulmonary ventilation=“breathing” • External respiration=occurs within the lungs • Transport of respiratory gases=via the blood • Internal respiration=occurs within the tissues
REQUIREMENTS • Gas exchange surfaces must be thin. • Gas exchange surfaces must remain moist. • Gas exchange surfaces must be large in relation to the size of the organism.
FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY • Nose and nasal cavity • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchial tree • Lungs • Diaphragm
Tissue Changes Summarized • Pseudostratified ciliated columnar • Simple columnar • Cuboidal • Smooth muscle • Cartilage rings • Cilia • Simple squamous
Pressures • Atmospheric pressure • Alveolar pressure (intrapulmonary pressure) • Intrapleural pressure • Boyle’s Law • More volume=less pressure • Less volume=more pressure
Factors Influencing Pulmonary Ventilation • Airway Resistance • Surface Tension • Lung Compliance
Dead Space • Anatomical dead space • Alveolar dead space • Total dead space
Regulation of Respiration • Medullary respiratory center • Dorsal respiratory center (DRC) • Ventral respiratory center (VRC) • Pontine center formerly called the Pneumotaxic center • Hypothalamus
Basic Properties of Gases Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
