23-2
Respiration
• Ventilation: Movement of air into and out of lungs
• External respiration: Gas exchange between air in lungs and blood
• Internal respiration: Gas exchange between the blood and tissues
• Cellular respiration: “burning” nutrients in mitochondria to get ATP

23-3
Nose and Nasal Cavities• External nose• Nasal cavity
– From nares to choanae– Vestibule: just inside nares– Hard palate: floor of nasal
cavity– Nasal septum: partition
dividing cavity. Anterior cartilage; posterior vomer and perpendicular plate of ethmoid
– Conchae: bony ridges or ‘shelves’ with meatusesbetween.
23-4
Functions of Nasal Cavity
• Passageway for air• Cleans the air• Humidifies, warms air• Smell• Along with paranasal sinuses are
resonating chambers for speech

23-5
Pharynx• Common passageway for digestive and respiratory systems
• Three regions– Nasopharynx: pseudostratified
columnar epithelium with goblet cells. Mucous and debris is swallowed.. Floor is soft palate, uvula is posterior extension of the soft palate.
– Oropharynx: shared with digestive system. Lined with moist stratified squamous epithelium.
– Laryngopharynx: epiglottis to esophagus. Lined with moist stratified squamous epithelium
23-6
Functions of Larynx• Maintain an open passageway for air movement:
thyroid and cricoid cartilages• Epiglottis and vestibular folds prevent swallowed
material from moving into larynx• Vocal folds are primary source of sound
production. Greater the amplitude of vibration, louder the sound. Frequency of vibration determines pitch.(Arytenoid cartilages and skeletal muscles determine length of vocal folds and also abduct the folds when not speaking to pull them out of the way making glottis larger.)

Vocal Folds
23-8
Tracheobronchial Tree and
Conducting Zone
• Trachea to terminal bronchioles which is ciliated for removal of debris. – Trachea divides into two primary
bronchi. – Primary bronchi divide into
secondary bronchi (one/lobe) which then divide into tertiary bronchi.
– Tertiary bronchi further subdivide into smaller and smaller bronchithen into bronchioles (less than 1 mm in diameter), then finally into terminal bronchioles.
• Cartilage: holds tube system open; smooth muscle controls tube diameter.
• As tubes become smaller, amount of cartilage decreases, amount of smooth muscle increases

23-9
Respiratory Zone: Respiratory Bronchioles to Alveoli
• Respiratory zone: site for gas exchange– Respiratory bronchioles
branch from terminal bronchioles. ( Alveolar ducts end as alveolar sacs that have 2 or 3 alveoli at their terminus.)
– No cilia, but debris removed by macrophages. (Macrophages then move into nearby lymphatics or into terminal bronchioles)
23-10
The Respiratory Membrane• Three types of cells in membrane.
– Type I pneumocytes. Thin squamous epithelial cells, form 90% of surface of alveolus. Gas exchange.
– Type II pneumocytes. Round to cube-shaped secretory cells. Produce surfactant. (Discuss later)
– Dust cells (phagocytes)• Layers of the respiratory membrane
– Thin layer of fluid lining the alveolus– Alveolar epithelium (simple squamous
epithelium– Basement membrane of the alveolar
epithelium– Thin interstitial space– Basement membrane of the capillary
endothelium– Capillary endothelium composed of
simple squamous epithelium• Tissue surrounding alveoli contains elastic
fibers that contribute to recoil.

Thoracic WallsMuscles of Respiration
23-12
Pleura• Pleural cavity surrounds each lung and is formed by the pleural membranes. Filled with pleural fluid.
• Visceral pleura: adherent to lung. Simple squamous epithelium, serous.
• Parietal pleura: adherent to internal thoracic wall.
• Pleural fluid: acts as a lubricant and helps hold the two membranes closetogether (adhesion).
• Mediastinum: central region, contains contents of thoracic cavity except for lungs.

23-13
Ventilation• Movement of air into and out of lungs• Air moves from area of higher pressure to area of lower
pressure• General Gas Law: PV = nRT, where P = pressure, V =
volume, n = #gram-molecules of gas, R = gas constant, T = temperature.
• Pressure is proportionate to number of molecules and temperature
• P = nRT/V Pressure is inversely proportionate to volume
• (F = P1-P2/R where F = air flow, P1 and P2 are pressures in two different places, and R = resistance to flow.)
• If barometric pressure is greater than alveolar pressure, then air flows into the alveoli.

Pulmonary Volumes and Capacities• Spirometry: measures volumes of air that move into
and out of respiratory system. Uses a spirometer• Tidal volume: amount of air inspired or expired with
each breath. At rest: 500 mL• Inspiratory reserve volume: amount that can be
inspired forcefully after inspiration of the tidal volume (3000 mL at rest)
• Expiratory reserve volume: amount that can be forcefully expired after expiration of the tidal volume (100 mL at rest)
• Residual volume: volume still remaining in respiratory passages and lungs after most forceful expiration (1200 mL)

23-19
Minute Ventilation and Alveolar Ventilation
• Minute ventilation: total air moved into and out of respiratory system each minute; tidal volume X respiratory rate
• Respiratory rate (respiratory frequency): number of breaths taken per minute
• (Anatomic dead space: formed by nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles
• Physiological dead space: anatomic dead space plus the volume of any alveoli in which gas exchange is less than normal.)
• Alveolar ventilation (VA): volume of air available for gas exchange/minute
23-20
Physical Principles of Gas Exchange• Partial pressure
– The pressure exerted by each type of gas in a mixture
– Dalton’s law: in a mixture of gases, the percentage of each gas is proportionate to its partial pressure
– Air in the respiratory system contains humidity because of mucus lining system
• Diffusion of gases through liquids– Henry’s Law: Concentration of a gas in a liquid is
determined by its partial pressure and its solubility coefficient
11
23-21
Physical Principles of Gas Exchange• Diffusion of gases through the respiratory membrane
depends on these things:1. Membrane thickness. The thicker, the lower the
diffusion rate2. Diffusion coefficient of gas (measure of how easily a
gas diffuses through a liquid or tissue). CO2 is 20 times more diffusible than O2, surface areas of membrane, partial pressure of gases in alveoli and blood
3. Surface area. Diseases like emphysema and lung cancer reduce available surface area
4. Partial pressure differences. Gas moves from area of higher partial pressure to area of lower partial pressure. Normally, partial pressure of oxygen is higher in alveoli than in blood. Opposite is usually true for carbon dioxide

23-23
Hemoglobin and Oxygen Transport• Oxygen is transported by
hemoglobin (98.5%) and is dissolved in plasma (1.5%)
• Oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve: describes the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen at any given PO2
• Oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve at rest shows that hemoglobin is almost completely saturated when PO2 is 80 mm Hg or above. At lower partial pressures, the hemoglobin releases oxygen.

23-25
Effects of CO2 and Temperature
• Increase in PCO2 causes decrease in pH• Carbonic anhydrase causes CO2 and water
to combine reversibly and form H2CO3which ionizes to H+ and HCO3
-
• Increase temperature: decreases tendency for oxygen to remain bound to hemoglobin, so as metabolism goes up, more oxygen is released to the tissues.
23-26
Shifting the Curve
14
23-27
Carbon Dioxide Transport and Chloride Movement(a) Tissue capillaries: as CO2 enters red
blood cells, reacts with water to form bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. Chloride ions enter the RBC and bicarbonate ions leave: chloride shift. Hydrogen ions combine with hemoglobin. Lowering the concentration of bicarbonate and hydrogen ions inside red blood cells promotes the conversion of CO2 to bicarbonate ion.
(b) Pulmonary capillaries: CO2 leaves red blood cells, resulting in the formation of additional CO2 from carbonic acid. The bicarbonate ions are exchanged for chloride ions, and the hydrogen ions are released from hemoglobin.
• Increased plasma carbon dioxide lowers blood pH. The respiratory system regulates blood pH by regulating plasma carbon dioxide levels
23-28
Respiratory Structures in Brainstem
• Medullary respiratory center– Dorsal groups stimulate the
diaphragm– Ventral groups stimulate the
intercostal and abdominal muscles
• Pontine (pneumotaxic) respiratory group– Involved with switching
between inspiration and expiration
15
23-29
Modification of Ventilation• Apnea. Cessation of
breathing. Can be conscious decision, but eventually PCO2 levels increase to point that respiratory center overrides
• Hyperventilation. Causes decrease in blood PCO2 level. Peripheral vasodilation causes decrease in BP. Fainting. Problem before diving.
• Cerebral and limbic system. Respiration can be voluntarily controlled and modified by emotions
• Chemical control– Carbon dioxide is major
regulator, but indirectly through pH change
• Increase or decrease in pH can stimulate chemo- sensitive area, causing a greater rate and depth of respiration
– Oxygen levels in blood affect respiration when a 50% or greater decrease from normal levels exists
• CO2. – Hypercapnia: too much CO2– Hypocapnia: lower than normal

Modifying Respiration

23-31
Chemical Control of Ventilation• Effect of Carbon Dioxide: small change in carbon
dioxide in blood triggers a large increase in rate and depth of respiration– Hypercapnia: greater-than-normal amount of carbon
dioxide– Hypocapnia: lower-than-normal amount of carbon
dioxide• Chemosensitive area in medulla oblongata is more
important for regulation of PCO2 and pH• Carotid bodies respond rapidly to changes in
blood pH because of exercise

23-33
Modifications of Ventilation
• Activation of touch, thermal and pain receptors affects respiratory center
• Sneeze reflex, cough reflex• Increase in body temperature yields increase
in ventilation• EXERCISE will increase it
23-34
Effects of Aging
• Vital capacity and maximum minute ventilation decrease
• Residual volume and dead space increase• Ability to remove mucus from respiratory
passageways decreases• Gas exchange across respiratory membrane
is reduced
