Shier Butler Lewis Chapter 19 Respiratory System

19.1: Introduction • The respiratory system consists of passages that filter incoming air and transport it into the body, into the lungs, and to the many microscopic air sacs where gases are exchanged • Respiration is the process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells • It consists of the following events: • Ventilation • External respiration • Transport of gases • Internal respiration • Cellular respiration 3

19.2: Why We Breathe • Respiration occurs on a macroscopic level at the organ system • Gas exchange, oxygen and carbon dioxide, occur at the cellular and molecular levels • Aerobic reactions of cellular respiration allow for: • ATP production • Carbon dioxide generation forming carbonic acid

• The organs of the respiratory system can be divided into two tracts: • Upper respiratory tract • The nose • Nasal cavity • Sinuses • Pharynx • Lower respiratory tract • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchial tree • Lungs

The Respiratory Tubes • The structure of the bronchus is similar to that of the trachea, but the C-shaped cartilaginous rings are replaced with cartilaginous plates where the bronchus enters the lung • These respiratory tubes become thinner and thinner, and the cell layers thin and change until the alveoli is reached • It is the alveoli that provides surface area for gas exchange

19.4: Breathing Mechanism â&#x20AC;˘ Breathing or ventilation is the movement of air from outside of the body into the bronchial tree and the alveoli â&#x20AC;˘ The actions responsible for these air movements are inspiration, or inhalation, and expiration, or exhalation

Inspiration • Atmospheric pressure due to the weight of the air is the force that moves air into the lungs • At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) • Moving the plunger of a syringe causes air to move in or out • Air movements in and out of the lungs occur in much the same way

Atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg on the outside Atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg on the inside

Diaphragm

23 (a)

(b)

Inspiration • Intra-alveolar pressure decreases to about 758mm Hg as the thoracic cavity enlarges due to diaphragm downward movement caused by impulses carried by the phrenic nerves • Atmospheric pressure then forces air into the airways Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

(b)

Expiration â&#x20AC;˘ The forces responsible for normal resting expiration come from elastic recoil of lung tissues and from surface tension â&#x20AC;˘ These factors increase the intra-alveolar pressure about 1 mm Hg above atmospheric pressure forcing air out of the lungs

Respiratory Air Volumes and Capacities • Different degrees of effort in breathing move different volumes of air in and out of the lungs • This measurement of volumes is called spirometry Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Functional residual capacity

Alveolar Ventilation • The volume of new atmospheric air moved into the respiratory passages each minute is minute ventilation • It equals the tidal volume multiplied by the breathing rate • Much of the new air remains in the physiologic dead space • The tidal volume minus the physiologic dead space then multiplied by breathing rate is the alveolar ventilation rate • This is the volume of air that reaches the alveoli • This impacts the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli

Nonrespiratory Air Movements â&#x20AC;˘ Air movements other than breathing are called nonrespiratory movements â&#x20AC;˘ They clear air passages, as in coughing and sneezing, or express emotions, as in laughing and crying

19.3 Clinical Application Respiratory Disorders That Decrease Ventilation: Bronchial Asthma and Emphysema

19.5: Control of Breathing â&#x20AC;˘ Normal breathing is a rhythmic, involuntary act that continues when a person is unconscious â&#x20AC;˘ Respiratory muscles can be controlled as well voluntarily

• Groups of neurons in the brainstem comprise the respiratory areas that control breathing • Impulses travel on cranial nerves and spinal nerves, causing inspiration and expiration • Respiratory areas also adjust the rate and depth of breathing • The respiratory areas include: • Respiratory center of the medulla • Respiratory group of the pons

Factors Affecting Breathing • A number of factors affect breathing rate and depth including: • Partial pressure of oxygen (Po2) • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pco2) • Degree of stretch of lung tissue • Emotional state • Level of physical activity • Receptors involved include mechanoreceptors and central and peripheral chemoreceptors

Medulla oblongata Sensory nerve (branch of glossopharyngeal nerve) Carotid bodies Sensory nerve (branch of vagus nerve)

Common carotid artery

Aorta

Aortic bodies

Heart

Factors Affecting Breathing • Changes in blood pH, O2 and CO2 concentration stimulates chemoreceptors Sensory pathway • Motor impulses can travel Vagus nerve from the respiratory center to the diaphragm and external Phrenic nerve intercostal muscles • Contraction of these muscles Stretch receptors Lung causes the lungs to expand stimulating mechanoreceptors in the lungs • Inhibitory impulses from the mechanoreceptors back to the respiratory center prevent overinflation of the lungs

Respiratory Membrane • Part of the wall of an alveolus is made up of cells (type II cells) that secrete pulmonary surfactant • The bulk of the wall of an alveolus consists of a layer of simple squamous epithelium (type I cells) • Both of these layers make up the respiratory membrane through which gas exchange takes place

Diffusion Through the Respiratory Membrane • Molecules diffuse from regions where they are in higher concentration toward regions where they are in lower concentration • It is important to know the concentration gradient • In respiration, think in terms of gas partial pressures • Gases diffuse from areas of higher partial pressure to areas of lower partial pressure • The respiratory membrane is normally thin and gas exchange is rapid • Increased diffusion is favored with more surface area, shorter distance, greater solubility of gases and a steeper partial pressure gradient • Decreased diffusion occurs from decreased surface area 49

19.5 Clinical Application Effects of High Altitude

19.6 Clinical Application Disorders That Impair Gas Exchange: Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, and Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome

19.7: Gas Transport â&#x20AC;˘ Blood transports O2 and CO2 between the lungs and the body cells â&#x20AC;˘ As the gases enter the blood, they dissolve in the plasma or chemically combine with other atoms or molecules

Oxygen Transport • Almost all oxygen carried in the blood is bound to the protein hemoglobin in the form of oxyhemoglobin • Chemical bonds between O2 and hemoglobin are relatively unstable • Oxyhemoglobin releases O2 into the body cells • About 75% of the O2 remains bound to hemoglobin in the venous blood ensuring safe CO2 levels and thereby pH

Carbon Dioxide Transport • Blood flowing through capillaries gains CO2 because the tissues have a high Pco2 • The CO2 is transported to the lungs in one of three forms: • As CO2 dissolved in plasma • As part of a compound with hemoglobin • As part of a bicarbonate ion

19.8: Lifespan Changes • Lifespan changes reflect an accumulation of environmental influences and the effects of aging in other organ systems, and may include: • The cilia become less active • Mucous thickening • Swallowing, gagging, and coughing reflexes slowing • Macrophages in the lungs lose efficiency • An increased susceptibility to respiratory infections • A “barrel chest” may develop • Bronchial walls thin and collapse • Dead space increasing 62
