Respiratory system Function
 The function of the respiratory system is to
bring in oxygen to the body and remove
carbon dioxide.
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Respiratory System
Breathing moves air
in and out of the lungs.
External respiration
is the exchange of
oxygen and carbon
dioxide between the
lungs and the blood.
Gas transport
moves oxygen and
carbon dioxide
between the lungs
and the body tissues.
Internal respiration is
the exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide
between blood and the
body tissues.

Cells lining respiratory tract
 Lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar
epithelial cells. The cilia sweeps mucus,
germs and debris toward the throat.
 Mucas produced by goblet cells.
 Smoking damages the ciliated cells

1. Nasal cavity
 Parts of the nasal cavity:
 Mucus membranes - secrete sticky mucus
to trap germs & debris.
 Contains olfactory receptor cells for the
sense of smell
 Sinuses – air filled cavities, warm and
moisten air
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

2. Pharynx
 Functions - is a passageway for air,
liquids, and food. (swallowing begins
here). Connects the nasal cavity to the
esophagus and the larynx
 Tonsils are found here – lymphatic tissue
that protects against infection

7. Alveoli
 Sacs at the end of the bronchioles, they are
surrounded by blood capillaries .
 Function: It is here that the oxygen diffuses
across the membrane into the capillaries, and
carbon dioxide goes from the capillaries to the
inside of the lungs.
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Alveoli
 Lungs - have about 300 million alveoli
 The structure of the alveoli increases
surface area of lung
 For alveoli to function properly they are
coated with phospholipid molecules called
surfactant that keep them open

 Exhalation = Expiration
 When the same muscles relax, volume of
the thoracic cavity decreases, pressure in
the lungs increase

Air Volumes
 The volume of air inhaled or exhaled
during a normal breath is called the tidal
volume
 Tidal volume is usually around 500 ml
 The volume of air moved into and out of
the lungs is an indication of health
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Air Volumes
 Inspiratory reserve volume = forced inhalation
volume
 Expiratory reserve volume = forced exhalation
volume
 Residual volume is the amount of air left in the
lungs after forced exhalation
 Vital capacity is the amount of air brought in
and out of the lungs during forced breathing

Gas Exchanges in the Body
 Remember that O2 enters and CO2 leaves the
lungs = External respiration
 Then O2 and CO2 is exchanged between the
blood vessels and tissues = Internal Respiration
 This gas exchange is due to diffusion

Oxygen Transport
 Oxygen is transported on Hemoglobin.
 When Oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, then it is
called Oxyhemoglobin
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Carbon Dioxide Transport
1. CO2 is transported dissolved in the plasma (10%)
2. CO2 is bound to hemoglobin (20%)
3. CO2 is converted to bicarbonate ions (70%)

Regulation of Breathing
 Normally we breath 12 - 15 ventilations per
minute.
 This rate is controlled by the medulla oblongata
region of the brain. Nerves transmit signal to the
diaphragm and muscles.
 Chemoreceptors in the medulla oblongata and
arteries detect levels of CO2 and O2 in the blood,
controlling the rate and depth of breathing.

Respiratory Disorders – Common Cold
 The common cold - Caused by several types
of viruses.
 Symptoms: runny nose, sore throat, sneezing,
nasal discharge
 Treatment: rest and plenty of fluids
 Prevention: wash your hands
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders - Flu
 The flu is caused by the Influenza viruses but
there are many variants of these viruses
 Symptoms: Similar to colds but appear suddenly
and more severe. Usually have fever and chills,
may have muscle aches, headache, and
weakness.
 Treatment and prevention – same as cold
 Can take drugs to ease symptoms and antiviral
medications may ease symptoms
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders - Pneumonia
 Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs that
causes fluid to accumulate in the alveoli,
reducing gas exchange
 Usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection
 Symptoms: fever, chills, chest pain, cough,
shortness of breath.
 Treatment depends on cause – bacteria can be
treated with antibiotics.
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders Strep throat
 Strep throat is caused by Streptococcus
bacteria
 Can lead to rheumatic fever which can
damage heart and kidney disease
 Symptoms: Sore throat accompanied by
swollen glands and fever
 Treatment: antibiotics
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders - Tuberculosis
 Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria =
mycobacterium tuberculosis.
 Bacteria spread through airborne transmission
 Our body encapsulates the bacteria with a
fibrous capsule made of connective tissue to
try to protect itself, capsule is called tubercles
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders - Tuberculosis
 Symptoms: similar to flu, weight loss, tired, dry
cough.
 Treatment: Antibiotics must be taken for 6
months to 2 years – some people to stop early
– leads to antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders - Bronchitis
 Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the bronchi
 Caused by viruses, bacteria, or chemical
irritation
 Symptoms: Inflammation results in the
production of excess mucus, which triggers a
deep cough
 Treatment: Depends on cause
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders - Asthma
 The smooth muscles surrounding the
bronchi spasm – causing the bronchi to
constrict, making it hard to breathe
 Causes and triggers: allergies, colds,
exercise, stress
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Respiratory Disorders - Emphysema
 Emphysema is caused by the destruction of
alveoli, usually by smoking
 Reduction in the surface area available for
gas exchange and the increased dead air
space results in shortness of breath
 Treatment - no cure, can supplement with
oxygen and drugs can dilate airways.

Lung Cancer
 Lung Cancer is the result of uncontrolled cell
division forms a tumor
 The smoke irritates the lining of the bronchi.
 The cilia that normally function to clear dust
and particles from the lungs are destroyed.
 Often caused by inhaled carcinogens,
including those found in tobacco smoke.
Between 85 – 90% of lung cancer is from
smoking.
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Lung Cancer
 Lung cancer is more common in men, but as
more women are smoking, the rate of lung
cancer in women is rising. Women are more at
risk
 Many compounds in the smoke are cancer
promoters, they trigger the progression of cancer
in cells.
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Effects of Smoking
 The 5-year survival rate is 13%. Smoking can
cause cancers of other parts of the respiratory
system.
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
8-16
Effects of Smoking on Pregnancy
 Cigarette smoke contains CO, the fetal blood has
a higher affinity for CO than the mothers blood,
so CO builds up in the fetuses body.
 Nicotine is also passed into the fetus, stimulating
the developing nervous system.
 Men smoking can damage the DNA in their
sperm and pass genetic mutations to their
offspring.
