The Respiratory System
• Cells produce energy:– for maintenance, growth, defense,
and division– through mechanisms that use oxygen
and produce carbon dioxide
![Page 3: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Oxygen
• Is obtained from the air by diffusion across delicate exchange surfaces of lungs
• Is carried to cells by the cardiovascular system which also returns carbon dioxide to the lungs
![Page 4: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
5 Functions of the Respiratory System
1. Provides extensive gas exchange surface area between air and circulating blood
2. Moves air to and from exchange surfaces of lungs
3. Protects respiratory surfaces from outside environment
4. Produces sounds5. Participates in olfactory sense

Alveoli
• ~ 300 million air sacs (alveoli).– Large surface area
(60–80 m2).– Each alveolus is 1 cell
layer thick.
• 2 types of cells:– Alveolar type I:
• Structural cells.
– Alveolar type II:• Secrete surfactant.
![Page 11: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Alveolar Organization
Respiratory bronchioles are connected to alveoli along alveolar ductsAlveolar ducts end at alveolar sacs:
common chambers connected to many individual alveoli
![Page 12: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Respiratory Mechanics
Multiple factors required to alter lung volumes
• Respiratory muscles generate force to inflate & deflate the lungs
• Tissue elastance & resistance impedes ventilation
• Distribution of air movement within the lung, resistance within the airway
• Overcoming surface tension within alveoli
![Page 13: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Breathing Cycle• Airflow requires a pressure gradient• Air flow from higher to lower pressures• During inspiration alveolar pressure is sub-
atmospheric allowing airflow into lungs• Higher pressure in alveoli during expiration
than atmosphere allows airflow out of lung• Changes in alveolar pressure are generated
by changes in pleural pressure
![Page 14: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Muscles of inpiration Muscles of expiration
• diaphragm-most important
• External intercostals• Accessory muscles :
– Sternocleidomastoid– Serratus anterior – scaleni
• Abdominal recti• Internal intercostal
muscles
![Page 15: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Respiratory Muscles
Most important are:the diaphragm external intracostal muscles of the ribsaccessory respiratory muscles:
activated when respiration increases significantly
![Page 16: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The Mechanics of Breathing
• Inspiration:– always active
• Expiration:– active or passive
![Page 18: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3 Muscle Groups of Inspiration
1. Diaphragm:– contraction draws air into lungs– 75% of normal air movement
2. External intracostal muscles:– assist inhalation– 25% of normal air movement
3. Accessory muscles assist in elevating ribs:
– sternocleidomastoid– serratus anterior– pectoralis minor– scalene muscles
![Page 19: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Muscles of Active Expiration
1. Internal intercostal and transversus thoracis muscles:
– depress the ribs
2. Abdominal muscles:– compress the abdomen– force diaphragm upward
![Page 20: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Movement of Thorax During Breathing Cycle
![Page 21: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Movement of Diaphragm
![Page 22: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pleura and Pleural Cavities
• The outer surface of each lung and the adjacent internal thoracic wall are lined by a serous membrane called pleura.
• The outer surface of each lung is tightly covered by the visceral pleura.
• while the internal thoracic walls, the lateral surfaces of the mediastinum, and the superior surface of the diaphragm are lined by the parietal pleura.
• The parietal and visceral pleural layers are continuous at the hilus of each lung.
![Page 23: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pleural Cavities
The potential space between the serous membrane layers is a pleural cavity.
• The pleural membranes produce a thin, serous pleural fluid that circulates in the pleural cavity and acts as a lubricant, ensuring minimal friction during breathing.
• Pleural effusion – pleuritis with too much fluid
![Page 24: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Intrapleural Pressure
• Pressure in space between parietal and visceral pleura
• Averages —4 mm Hg• Maximum of —18 mm Hg• Remains below Patm throughout
respiratory cycle
![Page 25: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Intrapulmonary Pressure
• Also called intra-alveolar pressure• Is relative to Patm
• In relaxed breathing, the difference between Patm and intrapulmonary pressure is small:– about —1 mm Hg on inspiration or +1
mm Hg on expiration
![Page 26: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Transpulmonary Pressure
• The pressure difference between the alveolar pressure & pleural pressure on outside of lungs
• The alveoli tend to collapse together while the pleural pressure attempts to pull outward
• The elastic forces which tend to collapse the lung during respiration is Recoil Pressure
![Page 27: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Physical Properties of the Lungs
• Ventilation occurs as a result of changes in lung volume of given pressure difference
• Physical properties that affect lung function:– Compliance.– Elasticity. – Surface tension.
![Page 28: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Compliance
• Compliance describes the dispensability of the system – Ease with which the lungs can expand
• Thus the lung compliance describes how volume changes for the given change in pressure
• Change in lung volume per change in transpulmonary pressure.
V/P
![Page 29: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Compliance of the lungs
• Measurement of lung compliance requires simultaneous measurement of lung pressure & volume .
![Page 30: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Compliance of the lungs(continued)
• The characteristics of the compliance diagram are determined by the elastic forces of the lungs .these can be divided into two parts– Elastic forces of lung tissue itself– Elastic forces caused by surface
tension .
![Page 31: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/31.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.– The attractive forces between adjacent
molecules of liquid are stronger than forces between molecule of liquid and a molecule of gas in the alveoli
• H20 molecules at the surface are attracted to other H20 molecules by attractive forces.– Force is directed inward, that tends to
collapse the alveoli
![Page 32: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Surface Tension (continued)
• 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
• Surfactant is surface active agent in water that greatly reduces the surface tension .
• Secreted by type II alveolar epithelial cells , it lines the alveoli & reduces their surface tension.
• Complex mixture of phospholipids, dipalmotylphophotidylcholine & surfactant apoprotien
![Page 34: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Role of surfactant
![Page 35: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Role of surfactant
• Surfactant provides two functions – Reduces the surface tension thereby
reducing the collapsing forces in alveoli– It increases the lung compliance .
In neonatal distress syndrome, surfactant is lacking
Surfactant not begin to secret normally before gestational ages of 24 to 28 week
![Page 36: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dead Space• The volume of the airways that does not
participate in gas exchange• Anatomical dead space – volume of the
conducting respiratory passages (150 ml)• Functional dead space – alveoli that cease to
act in gas exchange due to collapse or obstruction
• Physiological dead space – sum of alveolar and anatomical dead spaces
![Page 37: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Alveolar Ventilation
• Amount of air reaching alveoli each minute
• Calculated as:tidal volume — anatomic dead space
respiratory rate
• Alveoli contain less O2, more CO2 than atmospheric air:– because air mixes with expiration air
![Page 38: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Alveolar Ventilation Rate
• Determined by respiratory rate and tidal volume:– for a given respiratory rate:
• increasing tidal volume increases alveolar ventilation rate
– for a given tidal volume:• increasing respiratory rate increases
alveolar ventilation
![Page 39: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
4 Calculated Respiratory Capacities
1. Inspiratory capacity: tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume
2. Functional residual capacity (FRC): expiratory reserve volume + residual
volume
3. Vital capacity: expiratory reserve volume + tidal volume +
inspiratory reserve volume
4. Total lung capacity: vital capacity + residual volume
![Page 40: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 41: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Gas Movement due to Gas Movement due to DiffusionDiffusion
• Diffusion - movement of gas due to molecular motion, rather than flow.
– Akin to the spread of a scent in a room, rather than wind.
– Random motion leads to distribution of gas molecules in alveolus.

DiffusionDiffusion
• Driven by concentration gradients:– differences in partial pressure of the
individual gases.
• Movement of O2 and CO2 between the level of the respiratory bronchiole and that of the alveolar space depends only on diffusion.
• The distances are small, so diffusion here is fast.

Gas Exchange
• Occurs between blood and alveolar air
• Across the respiratory membrane• Depends on:
– partial pressures of the gases– diffusion of molecules between gas
and liquid

Oxygen Transport
• Due to low solubility, only 1.5 % of oxygen is dissolved in plasma
• 98.5 % of oxygen combines with hemoglobin
![Page 49: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
![Page 50: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Each Hb consists of a globin portion composed of 4 polypeptide chains
• Each Hb also contains 4 iron containing pigments called heme groups
• Up to 4 molecules of O2 can bind one Hb molecule because each iron atom can bind one oxygen molecule
• There are about 250 million Hb hemoglobin molecules in one Red Blood Cell
• When 4 oxygen molecules are bound to Hb, it is 100% saturated, with fewer, it is partially saturated
• Oxygen binding occurs in response to high partial pressure of Oxygen in the lungs
![Page 51: The Respiratory System. Cells produce energy: –for maintenance, growth, defense, and division –through mechanisms that use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649eda5503460f94be916f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• Oxygen + Hb Oxyhemoglobin (Reversible)
• Cooperative binding Hb’s affinity for O2 increases as its saturation increases (similarly its affinity decreases when saturation decreases)
• In the lungs where the partial pressure of oxygen is high, the rxn proceeds to the right forming Oxyhemoglobin
• In the tissues where the partial pressure of oxygen is low, the rxn reverses. OxyHb will release oxygen, forming again Hb (or properly said deoxyhemoglobin)

dissociation curve• Three curves are shown with
progressively decreasing oxygen affinity indicated by increasing P(50)

• SHIFT to the RIGHT Decreased affinity of Hb for Oxygen Increased delivery of Oxygen to tissues
• It is brought about by
1. Increased partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide
2. Lower pH (high [H+])
3. Increased temperature
4. Increased levels of 2,3 DPGA
• Ex: increased physical activity, high body temperature (hot weather as well), tissue hypoxia (lack of O2 in tissues)

Carbon Dioxide Transport
• Produced by cells thru-out the body• CO2 diffuses from tissue cells and into
the capillaries• 7% dissolves in plasma• 93% diffuses into the Red Blood Cells• Within the RBC ~23% combines with
Hb (to form carbamino hemoglobin) and ~ 70% is converted to Bicarbonate Ions which are then transported in the plasma

• In the lungs, which have low Carbon Dioxide partial pressure, CO2 dissociates from CarbaminoHemoglobin, diffuses back into lungs and is exhaled
• Within the RBC, CO2 combines with water and in the presence of carbonic anhydrase it transforms into Carbonic acid
• Carbonic acid then dissociate into H+ and HCO3-
• In the lungs CO2 diffuses out into the alveoli. This lowers the partial press. Of Co2 in blood, causing the chemical reactions to reverse

Chemical regulation of respiration
Chemoreceptors• Chemoreceptors are located
throughout the body (in brain and arteries).
– chemoreceptors are more sensitive to changes in PCO2
(as
sensed through changes in pH).• Ventilation is adjusted to
maintain arterial PC02 of 40 mm Hg.
