Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O2) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO2).
![Page 3: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Respiration can be divided into four major functional events
• Ventilation: Movement of air into and out of lungs
• Gas exchange between air in lungs and blood
• Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood
• Internal respiration: Gas exchange between the blood and tissues
![Page 4: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Respiratory System Functions
• Gas exchange: Oxygen enters blood and carbon dioxide leaves
• Regulation of blood pH: Altered by changing blood carbon dioxide levels
• Voice production: Movement of air past vocal folds makes sound and speech
• Olfaction: Smell occurs when airborne molecules drawn into nasal cavity
• Protection: Against microorganisms by preventing entry and removing them

Section 1 Pulmonary Ventilation
Pulmonary ventilation means the inflow and outflow of air between the atmosphere and the lung alveoli, which is determined by the activity of the airways, the alveolus and the thoracic cage.

![Page 13: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Occurs because the thoracic cavity changes volume
• Insipiration uses external intercostals and diaphragm
• Expiration is passive at rest, but uses internal intercostals and abdominals during severe respiratory load
• Breathing rate is 10-20 breaths / minute at rest, 40 - 45 at maximum exercise in adults

II Respiratory Resistance
Including Elastic Resistance and Inelastic resistance
![Page 31: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Elastic Resistance
A lung may be considered as an elastic sac. The thoracic wall also can be considered as an elastic element.
So during inspiration the inspiratory muscles must expand the thoracic cage which are together with the elastic resistance.
![Page 32: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Elasticity
• Tendency to return to initial size after distension.
• High content of elastin proteins.– Very elastic and resist distension.
• Recoil ability.
• Elastic tension increases during inspiration and is reduced by recoil during expiration.
![Page 33: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Compliance
• Distensibility (stretchability):– Ease with which the lungs can expand.– The compliance is inversely proportional to
elastic resistance
• Change in lung volume per change in transpulmonary pressure.
V/P• 100 x more distensible than a balloon.

The elastic forces can be divided into two parts:
1) the elastic forces of the lung tissue itself
2) the elastic forces caused by surface tension of the fluid that lines the inside wall of the alveoli.
The elastic forces caused by surface tension are much more complex. Surface tension accounts for about two thirds of the total elastic forces in a normal lungs.
![Page 36: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Surface Tension
• Force exerted by fluid in alveoli to resist distension• Lungs secrete and absorb fluid, leaving a very thin
film of fluid.– This film of fluid causes surface tension..
• H20 molecules at the surface are attracted to other H20 molecules by attractive forces.– Force is directed inward, raising pressure in alveoli.
![Page 37: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Surface Tension
• Law of Laplace:– Pressure in alveoli is
directly proportional to surface tension; and inversely proportional to radius of alveoli.
– Pressure in smaller alveolus would be greater than in larger alveolus, if surface tension were the same in both.

Surfactant• Phospholipid
produced by alveolar type II cells.
• Lowers surface tension.– Reduces attractive forces
of hydrogen bonding by becoming interspersed between H20 molecules.
• Surface tension in alveoli is reduced.
• As alveoli radius decreases, surfactant’s ability to lower surface tension increases.

Inelastic Resistance
The inelastic resistance comprises the airway resistance (friction) and pulmonary tissue resistance (viscosity, and inertia).
Of these the airway resistance is by far the more important both in health and disease. It account for 80%-90% of the inelastic resistance.
![Page 45: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Airway Resistance
• Airway resistance is the resistance to flow of air in the airways and is due to :
• 1) internal friction between gas molecules
• 2) friction between gas molecules and the walls of the airways
![Page 46: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Laminar flow
• … is when concentric layers of gas flow parallel to the wall of the tube. The velocity profile obeys Poiseuille’s Law (pg 43:11)
![Page 48: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Poiseuille and Resistance
• Airway Radius or diameter is KEY. radius by 1/2 resistance by 16 FOLD - think

![Page 49: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Airway resistance increase
• Any factor that decreases airway diameter, or increases turbulence will increase airway resistance, eg:
• Rapid breathing: because air velocity and hence turbulence increases
• Narrowing airways as in asthma, parasympathetic stimulation, etc.
• Emphysema, which decreases small airway diameter during forced expiration
![Page 50: Respiratory physiology Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O 2 ) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020219/56649e865503460f94b89619/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Control of Airway Smooth Muscle
• Neural control– Adrenergic beta receptors causing dilatation– Parasympathetic-muscarinic receptors causing co
nstriction– NANC nerves (non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic)
• Inhibitory release VIP and NO bronchodilitation• Stimulatory bronchoconstriction, mucous secretion,

Pulmonary Volumes• Tidal volume
– Volume of air inspired or expired during a normal inspiration or expiration (400 – 500 ml)
• Inspiratory reserve volume– Amount of air inspired forcefully after inspiration of nor
mal tidal volume (1500 – 2000 ml)
• Expiratory reserve volume– Amount of air forcefully expired after expiration of norm
al tidal volume (900 – 1200 ml)
• Residual volume– Volume of air remaining in respiratory passages and lung
s after the most forceful expiration (1500 ml in male and 1000 ml in female)

Pulmonary Capacities• Inspiratory capacity
– Tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume
• Functional residual capacity– Expiratory reserve volume plus the residual volume
• Vital capacity – Sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and exp
iratory reserve volume
• Total lung capacity– Sum of inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes plus t
he tidal volume and residual volume

Minute and Alveolar Ventilation
• Minute ventilation: Total amount of air moved into and out of respiratory system per minute
• Respiratory rate or frequency: Number of breaths taken per minute
• Anatomic dead space: Part of respiratory system where gas exchange does not take place
• Alveolar ventilation: How much air per minute enters the parts of the respiratory system in which gas exchange takes place

Dead Space
• Area where gas exchange cannot occur• Includes most of airway volume• Anatomical dead space (=150 ml)
– Airways
• Physiological dead space– = anatomical + non functional alveoli

FVC - forced vital capacity• defines maximum volume of exchangeable air in lung (vital capacit
y)– forced expiratory breathing maneuver– requires muscular effort and some patient training
• initial (healthy) FVC values approx 4 liters– slowly diminishes with normal aging
• significantly reduced FVC suggests damage to lung parenchyma– restrictive lung disease (fibrosis)– constructive lung disease– loss of functional alveolar tissue (atelectasis)– FVC volume reduction trend over time (years) is key indicator
• intra-subject variability factors– age– sex– height– ethnicity

FEV1 - forced expiratory volume (1 second) • defines maximum air flow rate out of lung in initial 1 second interval
– forced expiratory breathing maneuver– requires muscular effort and some patient training
• FEV1/FVC ratio– normal FEV1 about 3 liters– FEV1 needs to be normalized to individual’s vital capacity (FVC)– typical normal FEV1/FVC ratio = 3 liters/ 4 liters = 0.75
• standard screening measure for obstructive lung disease (COPD) – FEV1/FVC reduction trend over time (years) is key indicator– calculate % predicted FEV1/FVC (age and height normalized)
• reduced FEV1/FVC suggests obstructive damage to lung airways– episodic, reversible by bronchodilator drugs
• probably asthma– continual, irreversible by bronchodilator drugs
• probably COPD
