Trachea
Bronchi
Bronchioles
Alveoli
Structures of the Respiratory
System
Ultimate goal is to get air to the alveoli
 What purpose do the other structures
serve?

◦ Purify
◦ Humidify
◦ Warm
Structures of the Respiratory
System

Nostrils
◦ Outer, visible part of the nose

Nasal Cavity
◦ Interior

Nasal septum
◦ Divides the nasal cavity

Mucosa
◦ Trap incoming bacteria
Anatomy of the Nose
Both work to separate the nasal cavity
from the oral cavity
 Hard - Bone
 Soft – Unsupported by bone (tissue)

Soft v. Hard Palate
Sinuses

Inflammation of the…
◦ Nasal mucosa
Caused by cold viruses and allergens
 Results in congestion and postnasal drip

Rhinitis
Inflammation of the sinuses!
 Sinuses are blocked with mucus
 Sinus headache ensues…

Sinusitis

Pharynx – “throat”
◦ Common passageway for food and air
◦ Houses the tonsils
 Tonsillitis causes mouth breathing – insufficient air
moistening and filtration

Larynx – “voice box”
◦ Vocal cords vibrate when air is expelled,
creating you voice
◦ Cough reflex is used when anything other than
air enters the larynx
Pharynx v. Larynx

Where is the air warmed?
 List 2 organs of the respiratory system
other than the nose.

Questions 8-11 on pg. 463
Homework
“Windpipe” – approx 4 inches long
 Trachea reinforced with hyaline cartilage

◦ Allow esophagus to expand when swallowing

What do you do when the trachea is
obstructed?
◦ Heimlich maneuver
◦ Tracheostomy
Trachea
Line the trachea
 Help keep the mucus away from the lungs
 Smoking kills the cilia

◦ What is then the response to keeping mucus
out of the lungs?
Cilia Mucosa
Main branches from where the trachea
splits
 “Upside down tree”
 Brochioles are smaller braches that break
off into the lungs
 “Respiratory tree”

Bronchi
Bronchi
Take up the majority of the thoracic cavity
 House the bronchioles and alveoli

◦ Necessary for gas exchange
◦ Air sacs, resembling bunches of grapes

Weigh about 2.5 lbs
Lungs

Have thin walls of epithelial tissue
◦ Much thinner than a piece of paper
◦ Covered with a vast amount of capillaries

Combination of the alveoli and capillary
walls create the respiratory membrane
◦ Air on one side – blood on the other

Surface area of alveolar walls in males is
50-70 sq meters
◦ 40x greater than the skin!
Alveoli
Why is nose breathing preferable to
mouth breathing?
 What is the specific function of the cilia in
the trachea?
 In a nose breather, list the passage way of
air from the nose  alveoli and all stages
in between.

What is the major function of the
respiratory system?
◦ Supply oxygen
◦ Expel carbon dioxide
Respiratory System
What is respiration?
 Four Key Events

1.
2.
3.
4.
Pulmonary Ventilation
External respiration
Respiratory gas transport
Internal respiration
Respiration
Pulmonary = lungs
 Air flow in and out of lungs
 “Breathing”

Pulmonary Ventilation
Gas exchange
 What gases?
 Oxygen entering capillaries
 Carbon dioxide exiting through the alveoli

External Respiration

Gases must be transported
◦ Where is the Carbon Dioxide coming from?
◦ Where is the oxygen coming from?
Respiratory Gas Transport

Oxygen must get to the destination
◦ Where is the final destination?

Gases must exchange internally
◦ Capillaries and cells in the body
Internal Respiration

Respiratory Gas Exchange
Video!
Breathing depends on a change of volume
in the thoracic cavity
 Volume of thoracic cavity changes, gases
flow to fill the space
 Liquids form to the shape of container,
gases fill the container

Mechanics of Breathing
Lung Volumes

Many factors affect the amount of air a
persons lungs can hold
◦
◦
◦
◦
Size
Male/Female
Age
Physical condition
Lung Volumes and Capacities

TIDAL VOLUME (TV)
◦ Normal, quiet breathing
◦ Generally about 500mL

INSPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (IRV)
◦ “Hard inhale”
◦ Forced intake of air
◦ 3100 mL
Lung Volumes and Capacities

EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (ERV)
◦ After normal expiration, more air can be forced
out of the lungs
◦ 1200 mL

VITAL CAPACITY (VC)
◦ Total amount of exchangeable air
◦ TV + IRV + ERV = VC

RESIDUAL VOLUME
◦ 1200 mL of air remains in the lungs and cannot
be forced out during expiration
Lung Volumes and Capacities
Review Lab for next class

this lab

Homework
Respiratory Disorders
Read p. 456 in textbook and answer the
following questions
1. What is the increase in allergies
correlated with?
2. People of 3rd world countries are thought
to be less likely to have allergies. Why
is that?
3. What conclusion does this piece draw at
the end of the reading?

Respiratory system vulnerable to
pathogens
◦ Why?
◦ Airborne pathogens
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD)
 Lung Cancer

Respiratory Disorders





Chronic bronchitis
Emphysema
With both, history of smoking is almost
assured
Difficulty breathing
Pulmonary infection
COPD
Bronchitis?
 Inflammation of the bronchi
 Excessive amounts of mucus

◦ Problems with excessive amounts of muscus?
◦ Impairs gas exchange

Increases risk of lung infection
◦ Pneumonia
 Inflammation of air sacs
 Fills with fluid and puss
Chronic bronchitis
Pneumonia
Lungs become less elastic
 Airways collapse during expiration and the
airway is obstructed
 Causes patient to use a lot of energy
when exhaling

Emphysema
Emphysema
Leading death of cancer in both men and
women in USA
 Approx 90% of lung cancer is due to
smoking
 Most effective treatment is to remove
infection lobe of the lung
