Respiration Processes • Breathing (ventilation): moving air in and out of lungs • External respiration: gas exchange between air and blood • Internal respiration: gas exchange between blood and tissues • Cellular respiration: oxygen use to produce ATP, carbon dioxide as waste

Upper Respiratory Tract • Functions • Passageway for respiration • Receptors for smell • Filters larger foreign material from incoming air • Moistens and warms incoming air • Resonating chambers for voice
The Lower Respiratory Tract Larynx Trachea Leftbronchus Rightbronchus Bronchioles Clustersof alveoli Figure 10.3
Lower Respiratory Tract • Functions • Larynx: maintains an open airway, routes food and air appropriately, assists in sound production • Trachea: transports air to and from lungs • Bronchi: branch into lungs • Lungs: transport air to alveoli for gas exchange

Gas Exchange and Transport: A Passive Process • Gases diffuse according to their partial pressures • External respiration: gases exchanged between air and blood • Internal respiration: gases exchanged with tissue fluids • Oxygen transport: bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells or dissolved in blood plasma • Carbon dioxide transport: dissolved in blood plasma, bound to hemoglobin, or in the form of plasma bicarbonate

Regulation of Breathing: Nervous System Involvement • Respiratory center in the medulla oblongata • Establishes basic breathing pattern • Chemical receptors • Monitor carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, and oxygen levels • Medulla • Sensitive to hydrogen ions in cerebrospinal fluid resulting from carbon dioxide in blood
