Human respiratory system--That organ of body which participate in
respiration known as respiratory organ and that system which participate known as respiratory system.
The human respiratory system can be divided into two group stracturally.As --
* The upper respiratory tract– Nose, nasal cavity,sinuses,pharynx.
* The lower respiratory tract-- Larynx, trachea, bronchial tree,lungs.
![Page 3: Introduction & investigations to respiratory diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef5d5f1a28abfd4c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
.
And the organs of the respiratory tract can be divided into two groups functionally.
* The conducting portion-- system of interconnecting cavities and tubes that conduct air into the lungs. nose, pharynx, trachea, bronchi.
* The respiratory portion— system where the exchange of respiratory
gasses occurs. respiratory bronchioles,alveolary duct,alveoli.

Summary of function-Nose/nesal cavity– warms,moistens and fiters air
it is inhaled.

Pharynx(Throat)-Passage way for air,leads to trachea.

Larynx-The voice box,where vocal chords are located.

Trachea(windpipe)-Tube from pharynx to bronchi rings of cartilage
provide stracture,keep the windpipe open. trachea lined with fine hairs called cilia which filter air before it reaches the lungs.

Bronchi-Two branches at the end of the trachea,each lead
to a lungs.

Bronchioles-A network of smaller branches leading from the
bronchi into the lungs tissue and ultimetly to lungs sacs

alveoliThe functional respiratory units in the lungs
where gases(o2 and co2) are exchanged(enter and exit the blood stream)

The Bronchopulmonary segments are the
anatomic structural and functional unit of lung parenchyma, each ventilated by a segmental/tertiary bronchus

Gaseous exchange--a) In between blood vessels and lungs.
![Page 18: Introduction & investigations to respiratory diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef5d5f1a28abfd4c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
.b) In between blood vessels and body tissue –

Gaseous transport-Main function of blood is to transport the gases
in diffirent form.Transport of o2 -Most o2 is transported by
Hb(red pigment protein in erythrocytes),(97%)
o2 combine with hemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin.As—
Hb + o2 Hbo2A small amount of o2 is transported in solution in
the blood plasma(3%) and other body fluid.
![Page 20: Introduction & investigations to respiratory diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef5d5f1a28abfd4c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Transport of co2 --
Most co2 is transported as bicarbonate ions. First co2 bind with water to form carbonic acid.As- CO2 + H2O H2CO3
Then carbolic acid dissosiates to form hydrogen and bicarbonate ions.
As-- H2CO3 H+ + HCO3−
A small amount of co2 is transported by the hemoglobin molecules in the form of carbaminohemoglobin(HbCO3).
Co2 +Hb HbCO3 (23%)

A- Imaging- Plain CXR
A PA film provides information on the lung fields , heart ,mediastinum , vascular structures and the thorathic cage. additional information can be obtained from a lateral film.
![Page 27: Introduction & investigations to respiratory diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef5d5f1a28abfd4c8b458d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

• CT scan It is superior to CXR in determining the position
and size of a pulmonary lesion and whether calcification or cavitations is present.
It is now routinely used in the assessment of patients with suspected lung cancer and facilitate guided percutaneous needle biopsy.
HRCT (high resolution), that uses thin section to provide a detail assessment of pulmonary parenchymal diseases
( interstitial lung disease , bronchiectasis)

• Ultra sound of chest cavity; is sensitive to detect plural effusion , may also
be used to improve the diagnostic field of plural biopsy.

•Ventilation – perfusion scan; the main value of this technique is to detect pulmonary thrombi or embolism, a filling defect in the perfusion scan accompanied by preserved ventilation is highly suggestive of recent PE.

nodules , staging of mediastinal lymph nodes and distal metastasis.

B- Endoscopic Examinations;• Laryngoscopy; larynx may be inspected
directly with a mirror or indirectly with a laryngoscope.

•Bronchoscopy;The trachea , large bronchi and lung segments
can all be inspected by either flexible or rigid bronchoscope.
Diagnostic indication of flexible bronchoscopy;- Suspected cases of Lung ca, - slowly resolving pneumonia, - pneumonia in the immunocompramised
patients, - interstitial lung disease, and - collecting lavage for AFB and culture in
suspected cases of TB , with –ve sputum.

• Mediastinoscopy; Through a small incision at the supra sternal
notch under GA, to get an access to the mediastinum.

- Other investigations •Plural aspiration and biopsy.•Sputum examination , for microbiological
( AFB, Culture, Gram stain ) and cytological examinations
•Pulse oximetry Allow a non invasive assessment of
peripheral O2 saturation, it provides a useful tool for monitoring those who are acutely ill or at risk of deterioration.

• Peak expiratory flow rate (PEF).Is measured by a maximum forced expiration
through a peak flow meter , it should be monitored regularly in asthmatic patients monitor response to therapy and disease control.

•Arterial blood gas analysisIt is heparinized blood taken from , the
radial , brachial and femoral arteries to check, PH, PaO2, PaCO2 and HCO3.
Type I respiratory failure; PaO2 < 8Kpa , PaCO2 either Normal or reduced.( hypoxia only), PH is normal.
Type II respiratory failure ; PaO2 < 8Kpa , PaCO2 >6Kpa
( hypoxia and hypercapnia), PH could be normal , high or low.

• Pulmonary Function Tests.Are used to aid diagnosis, assess functional
impairments and monitor treatment or progression of diseases.

• FEV1 is disproportionately reduced in obstructive lung disease ( asthma, COPD, bronchial obstruction) and the ratio of FEV1/ VC will be <70%. When there is an airflow obstruction the test should be repeated following administration of inhaled or nebulised B2 agonist
( salbutamol) to see the reversibility to normal or >15% that would give the diagnosis of asthma .
FEV1 and VC will both reduce in restrictive lung disease (Pulmonary Fibrosis) that will make the FEV1/VC ratio , >80%.

Interesting facts about respiratory system--About half a liter of water /day is lost through
breathing.
Yawning bring more O2 to the lungs .
Our right lungs is larger then left lungs.
We breathe 13 pints of air every minute.
People under 30 take in double the amount of O2 in comparison to someone who’s 80 years old.
