Filtration of Inspired Air
Hairs at the inlet filter particles greater than 10-15µ
Nasal turbinates force inspired air to pass in narrow
streams so particles pass close to either the nasal
septum or mucosa of the turbinates and impinge
directly on mucosa or settle by gravity
Particles greater than 10µ are almost completely
removed in the nose, along with some smaller ones
Particles between 2 - 10µ usually settle on the mucuslined walls of the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles
Particles between 0.3 and 2.0µ and all foreign gases
reach the alveolar ducts and alveoli
Particles less than 0.3µ in diameter usually remain as
aerosols and are almost entirely expired
Particles removed may include: silica, asbestos, inert
dust, bacteria
Mucociliary Escalator
Cilia line entire respiratory tract (except part of
pharynx, anterior 1/3 of nose, and the terminal
respiratory units)
Beat 600-900 times/min
Appear to be coordinated so sheet of mucus (containing
trapped foreign particles) secreted by goblet cells and
mucous glands is propelled toward the pharynx where
is it swallowed or expectorated
Mechanism of control is not well understood. Nerves do
not appear to be involved. Inhaled irritants may slow
down or "paralyze" cilia
Figure 10-2
Alveolar Macrophages
Large mononuclear ameboid cells - scavenge the
alveolar surface and engulf inhaled particles
Contain lysosomes capable of killing bacteria
Many other functions, including secretion of
components of immune and inflammatory responses
such as cytokines, arachidonic acid derivatives,
enzymes, and growth factors
Life span 1-5 weeks
Appear to emigrate to the sheet of mucus on the walls of
terminal bronchioles and "ride" up to larger airways
Figure 10-3
Other Methods of Particle Removal or
Destruction
Reach the mucus sheets by upward movement of
the alveolar fluid lining
Penetrate into the interstitial space for
phagocytosis by tissue histiocytes, and/or
entrance into the lymphatic channels
Particles may also be destroyed by surface
enzymes (lysozymes, lactoferrin) or removed
by immunologic reactions (interferon,
complement, etc.)

Integrated System for Defense of the Respiratory Tract
Natural Mechanical Defenses
Filtration and impaction remove particles
Sneeze, cough, and bronchospasm expel particles
Epithelial barriers and mucus limit particle penetration
Natural Phagocytic Defenses
Effected by airways, interstitial, and alveolar macrophages;
polymorphonuclear leukocytes
Phagocytosis of particulates, organisms, and debris
Microbicidal and tumoricidal activities
Degradation of organic particles
Integrated System for Defense of the Respiratory Tract
Acquired Specific Immune Defenses
Humoral immunity
Effected by B lymphocytes
Biologic activities mediated by specific antibody
Augments phagocytic and microbicidal defense mechanisms
Cell-mediated immunity
Effected by T lymphocytes
Biologic activities mediated by:
Delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction
T cell cytotoxicity
Augments microbicidal and cytotoxic activities of macrophages
Mediates subacute, chronic, and granulomatous inflammatory
responses
Nonrespiratory Functions of the
Pulmonary Circulation
Reservoir for left ventricle
Filter to protect the systemic circulation

Metabolic Functions of the Lungs
Uptake or conversion by lungs of chemical
substances in mixed venous blood
Formation of chemical substances in lungs and
release for local use: surfactant, histamine,
serotonin, leukotrienes, PAF, PG’s, etc.
Release into blood of substances stored in
pulmonary tissues or cells, including
macrophages: bradykinin, histamine,
serotonin, PGE2, PGF2 , heparin, etc.
