Unit 1 : Anatomy
Learning Outcomes
• Describe (and explain) the pleural membranes
• Describe the mechanism of breathing
• Describe (and explain) the control of breathing
• Describe (and explain) the functions of the
respiratory system
• Define lung volumes
Where are these and what do they do…?
Diaphragm
Nasal Cavity
Bronchus
Larynx
Epiglottis
Pharynx
Alveoli
Mouth
Pleura
Bronchi
Bronchioles
Lungs
Trachea
The
Respiratory
System
Pleural Membranes
• Visceral Pleura – inner
pleural membrane which
attaches to the lung
• Parietal Pleura – outer
pleural membrane which
attaches to the thoracic
wall
• Pleural cavity – space
between the pleura layers
• Pleural fluid – found in
the pleural cavity
Mechanisms of Breathing
• Air needs to flow in and out
of the respiratory system
• ‘Ventilation’ - is all to do
with pressure changes
within the thorax (chest
cavity)
Breathing – Muscles
The key muscles involved:
1. Diaphragm
2. Intercostal muscles:
• External intercostal
muscles
• Internal intercostal muscles
Breathing – Muscles
• Diaphragm – a large muscle which draws air into
the lungs
• External intercostal muscles – these contract
to draw air into the lungs (they pull the ribs up
and out)
• Internal intercostal muscles – these force air
out of the lungs (they pull the ribs down and in)
– used during exercise but not normal breathing
Breathing
Ventilation – mechanism of breathing in and out
Breathing in ‘inhalation’
Breathing out ‘exhalation’
Inhalation
• Diaphragm contracts
• External intercostal
muscles contract
• Ribs move out and up
• Thoracic cavity size
increases
• Thoracic pressure
decreases
• Air rushes into the
lungs - inhalation
Exhalation
• Diaphragm relaxes
• External intercostal
muscles relax
• Ribs move in and down
• Thoracic cavity size
decreases
• Thoracic pressure
increases
• Air is pushed out of
the lungs - exhalation
Breathing Control
Under normal resting conditions…
• Breathing is controlled by the central nervous
system (neural control)
• Neural control – the central nervous system
(brain and nerves)
• You will naturally breath about 12 times a
minute – your brain makes this happen!
Breathing Control
Under exercise / stress…
• Chemical control starts to come into control
• Increased CO2 and/or low O2 levels are
detected by receptors and then the CNS
increases its activity = breathing speeds up!
Functions of the Respiratory System
1. Protection
• Identify three important structural aspects
• Explain how they protect
• Write a paragraph…
Functions of the Respiratory System
2. Warm and moisten air
• How does this happen?
• Why is it important?
• Write a paragraph…
Functions of the Respiratory System
3. Gas exchange
• What is this?
• How does this happen?
• Why is it important?
• Write a paragraph…
Gas Exchange
‘Gas exchange’ – gases swap
place
Get O2 into the body / Remove
CO2
This occurs between the air
inside the alveoli of the lungs
and the blood in the capillaries
which surround the alveoli
Gas Exchange
• The lungs are the size of
a tennis court?!
• Why such a large surface
area?
• Capillaries cover the
alveoli
• Gas exchange
• Draw a diagram
Gas Exchange
• ‘Diffusion’ – transport of a substance from a
high pressure to a lower pressure (across a
semi-permeable membrane)
• Oxygen diffuses from the lungs (alveoli) into
the CV system (capillaries)
• Carbon dioxide diffuses from the CV system
into the lungs
• Explain this process
What do these phrases mean?

Pulmonary Ventilation
Pulmonary Ventilation (VE) – the amount of air
we breathe in and out in 1 minute
VE = number of breaths x tidal volume
Average tidal volume at rest = 0.5L
Task - Estimate your pulmonary ventilation!
What methods can we use to
assess lung function?
Why assess
lung function?
Measuring Lung function
Spirometry – can measure different lung
volumes
Peak flow meter – measures the maximum rate
of air flow during forced expiration
Pulse oximetry – measures O2 saturation levels
Peak flow
Normal
Values for
adults
What methods can we use to
assess lung function?
Why assess
lung function?
Why assess lung function?
• How much air your lungs can hold
• How quickly you can move air in and out of the
lungs
• How well you can perform gas exchange
• Why?
Asthma
Task… discuss with your partner the following:
1. What areas of the lung does asthma affect?
2. What are the symptoms of asthma?
3. What happens during asthma ‘the pathology’?
4. What causes asthma?
