CHAPTER GOALS
Name the organs of the respiratory
system and describe their location and
function.
 Identify various pathological conditions
that affect the system.
 Learn medical terms that pertain to
respiration.

3
CHAPTER GOALS
Describe important clinical procedures related
to the respiratory system, and recognize
relevant abbreviations.
 Apply your new knowledge to understanding
medical terms in their proper contexts, such as
medical reports and records.

INTRODUCTION
External respiration: Exchange of air in lung
capillaries
 oxygen
inhaled into the air sacs of the lungs
 immediately passes into capillaries
 carbon dioxide passes from capillaries into air sacs,
to be exhaled
5
INTRODUCTION (CONT’D)
Internal respiration: Exchange of gases in the
cells



occurs simultaneously between cells and
capillaries
oxygen passes out of the bloodstream into the
tissues
carbon dioxide passes out of tissues back into the
bloodstream to travel to the lungs
6
RESPIRATORY ANATOMY
Mediastinum: Middle of chest where trachea
divides into two branches
 Bronchi: Each leads to a separate lung
 Lungs: Lobes are not mirror images
 Hilum: Blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic tissue,
and bronchial tubes enter and exit
