Respiratory System
• Respiration: exchange of gas between an
organism & its environment.
• Inspiration: Inhalation; drawing air into the
lungs
• Expiration: The expulsion of air from the
lungs
• Alveoli: Minute air sacs within the lung
tissue

Diaphragm
Respiratory System
• Which is true of the lung when stretched out?
– Size of your fist.
– Size of a tennis court
– Size of a kitchen table
• Does blood circulate in the lung?
– Why or Why not?
• How does the rate of ventilation change with– Exercising?
– Quiet breathing?
– Speech?
Respiratory System
• What does the respiratory system do?
– sustain life
– speech secondary
• source of all pressures and flows
• What is included in the respiratory system used for
speech?
– Rib cage
– Diaphragm
– Abdomen

• 33 segments of bone
• Many fossa & protuberances
• Form depending on location,

Ischium
Pelvic Girdle
• Vertebral column attaches
• Lower extremity attachment
• Provides distribution of force
• Made up of: ilium, sacrum, pubic bone,
ischium
– ilium-large, wing-like
– sacrum- five fused vertebrae
Pectoral Girdle
Clavicle
Sternum
Scapula
* Pectoral girdle includes
only the scapula & clavicle
Pectoral Girdle
• Shoulder girdle– Support upper extremities
– clavicle (collarbone): superior sternum to
scapula
– scapula: wing-like; attachment only at
clavicle
– Equal distribution of force
– A-Frame support
Ribs & Ribcage

False Ribs
(8,9,10)
Floating Ribs (11,12)
Ribs & Rib Cage
• Thorax: 12 pair of ribs
• Rib Components:
– Head (articulating surface)
– Neck
– Angle (curve)
– Shaft (largest; anterior)
• Rib Cage:
– provides attachments (muscles)
• muscles provide: Strength, rigidity, continuity, & mobility
Ribs
• Three general classes:
– True ribs- upper ribs (1-7), attach to sternum,
cartilaginous attachment
– False ribs- (8,9,10), attach to sternum via cartilage
running superior
– Floating ribs- (11,12), articulate with vertebral column
only.
• Characteristics:
– cartilage (chondral) attachment can be torqued
• strength and movement

Pulmonary System
• Trachea:
– Flexible tube
– 11 cm in length, 16-20 hyaline cartilage
rings
– Rings are 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter (smooth
muscle)
– Divides at Carina Trachea & becomes
mainstream bronchi (bronchial tubes)
• Serve right and left lung
Pulmonary System (cont.)
• Bronchi:
– Divisions: main stem , secondary (lobar), tertiary
(segmental)
– 28 generations of bronchial tree (first 9-”Dead
Space”)
• trachea-mainstream bronchi-lobar bronchibranchings to terminal respiratory bronchioles
– 1 (trachea), 2 (mainstem bronchi), 5 (lobar); 19
(segmental); 38 (subsegmental)...
– Final 7 divisions: respiratory zones- respiratory
bronchioles, alveolar ducts & alveoli

Pulmonary System (cont.)
• Alveoli:
– End of terminal bronchiole
– small-1/4 mm in diameter (5 alveoli in 1 mm)
– 300 million in adult lung
– lined with single layer of epithelial cells
– each covered with over 2,000 capillaries (6
trillion in all)
– Lining= Type 1 cells (pneumocytes); Type 2
(Cuboidal)
