The Process of Respiration (cont.)
• Ventilation of lungs
• Exchange of gases
• Transport of gases in blood
Copyright © 2015 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
The Process of Respiration (cont.)
Pulmonary Ventilation
• Inhalation (inspiration) is active phase.
– Diaphragm contracts and flattens.
– Surfactant
– Compliance
• Exhalation (expiration) is passive phase.
– Respiratory muscles relax.
• Spirometry:
– Records volumes of air inhaled and exhaled

container increases?
Copyright © 2015 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
The Process of Respiration (cont.)
Gas Exchange
• Requires a pressure gradient
• External exchange—between lung alveoli and capillary
blood
– Oxygen leaves alveoli and enters capillaries.
– Carbon dioxide leaves capillaries and enters alveoli.
• Internal exchange—between blood and tissues
– Oxygen leaves capillaries and enters tissue.
– Carbon dioxide leaves tissue and enters capillaries.

The Process of Respiration (cont.)
Transport of Oxygen
• Most oxygen, 98.5%, is transported in blood by
hemoglobin.
Transport of Carbon Dioxide
• 10% is dissolved in plasma and fluid in red blood cells.
• 15% is combined with protein of hemoglobin and
plasma proteins.
• 75% dissolves in blood fluids and is converted to
bicarbonate ion.

oxygen demands and carbon dioxide production

pattern of respiration)
and pons of the brain
stem.

phrenic nerve to the
diaphragm.

Effects of Aging on the Respiratory Tract
• Tissues lose elasticity, become more rigid.
• Decreased compliance, lung capacity.
• Increased susceptibility to infection.
• Variation among individuals who have maintained an
active lifestyle with regular aerobic activity positively
contributes to maintaining respiratory function.
