Respiratory System
• The process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells is called respiration.
![Page 2: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Events of respiration
• Exchange of gases between air in the lungs and the blood is called external respiration
• Gas exchange between blood and body cells is called internal resp.

Pathway of air in the body• Nose or mouth• Nasal cavity or oral cavity• Pharynx• Larynx• Trachea• Bronchi• Bronchioles• Alveoli
• The alveoli are the site for gas exchange in the body

Epiglottis
Diaphragm
![Page 6: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Breathing Mechanism
• Remember: Diffusion is a passive process, no energy is required.
• Normal atmospheric pressure is 760 mm Hg
![Page 8: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Inspiration• The diaphragm contracts (flattens) and
moves downward. • Thoracic cavity enlarges; alveoli increase in
diameter• The pressure within the lungs (and alveoli)
falls about 2mm Hg below normal (758 mm Hg)
• Air is sucked into the lungs bc of negative pressure
![Page 9: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Expiration• Diaphragm relaxes (curved)• Thoracic cavity decreases in size and
alveoli diameter decreases• Lung (and alveoli) pressure increases to
about 1 mm Hg above normal (761 mm Hg)
• Air is forced out of lungs (passive process)

Smoking
• Smoking destroys the movement of cilia in the resp. system
• This allows dirt and debris to enter the resp. system and mucus builds up in the nasal cavity
• this build up results in smokers’ cough (an effort to manually breakup the accumulated mucus)
![Page 12: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Smoking
• Smokers’ cough leads to chronic bronchitis (infection of the bronchiole tubes)
• Mucus production increases, the bronchioles thicken (less diameter)more difficult to breathe
• Bronchioles lose elasticity and cannot adjust to pressure changes
![Page 13: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Smoking • Air pressure increases enough to burst
alveoli- this condition is called emphysema• With emphysema coughing worsens along
with fatigue and wheezing• Emphysema can progress to cancer• 80% of all lung cancer is caused from
smoking• 13% of those with lung cancer do not live
past 5 years

Total lung capacity
• the vital capacity plus the residual volume
• average = 5800ml • varies with age, sex, and body
size
![Page 23: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Respiratory Volumes• One inspiration followed by
expiration is a respiratory cycle• Tidal Volume-the amount of air that
enters or leaves the lungs during a normal resting respiration (about 500 ml)
![Page 24: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Respiratory Volumes
• During forced maximal inspiration (deep breathing) additional quantities of air enter the lungs; this is called inspiratory reserve volume.
• This can equal about 3,000 ml
![Page 25: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Respiratory Volumes• During maximal forced ex(it)piration,
about 1100ml of additional air can be expelled from the lungs; this is the expiratory reserve volume.
• This leaves about 1200 ml of air in the lungs at all times – this is called residual volume
![Page 26: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Vital capacity• The total of the inspiratory reserve
volume, the tidal volume, and the expiratory reserve volume is the vital capacity (max in, normal, max out)
• The adult average is about 4,600 ml.• This is the maximum amount of air a
person can exhale after they have taken the deepest breath possible
![Page 28: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Inspiratory capacity
• The tidal volume plus the inspiratory reserve volume.
• This is the maximum amount of air a person can inhale
• average – 3500 ml
![Page 29: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Functional residual capacity
• the expiratory reserve volume plus the residual volume
• equals the amount of air left in the lungs after normal expiration
• average = 2300ml
![Page 30: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Total lung capacity• A spirometer is used to measure
lung capacity• Lung capacity measurements can
be used as an initial diagnostic tool for emphysema, pneumonia, lung cancer, and asthma

Gas Transport
• Oxygen is carried in the blood bound to the hemoglobin in RBC
• Each hemoglobin molecule can combine with only four oxygen atoms
• Hypoxia – oxygen deficiency

Pneumonia an infection of the lungs, which can be caused by
a variety of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites
causes inflammation of the lungs symptoms: fever, chills, cough, unusually rapid
breathing, breathing with grunting or wheezing sounds, chest pain
treated with antibiotics, antiviral meds

Bronchitis viral infection of the bronchial tree bronchioles swell and mucus (thick fluid)
forms inside them, making it hard to breathe
symptoms: coughing up mucus and wheezing
treated with asthma medicines to reduce swelling and ease breathing

Emphysema chronic lung disease usually caused by
smoking damage to the alveoli symptoms: Shortness of breath, barrel-
shaped chest, wheezing, fatigue, losing weight without trying
treatment: no cure, but symptoms can be eased with supplemental oxygen and other meds
![Page 42: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Asthma chronic respiratory disease causing airway
inflammation; the airways in the lungs are overly sensitive to certain triggers
linked to allergies, heredity, environment, weight symptoms: attacks of wheezing, coughing, chest
constriction & labored breathing treated with meds such as inhaled steroids/anti-
inflammatory

Tuberculosis disease caused by bacteria that attack the lungs bacteria destroy lung tissue and can actually create
a hole in the lung symptoms: a bad cough, pain in the chest,
coughing up blood, fever, fatigue, chills treated with antibiotics latent TB (bacteria in body but not active causes
small bump on test) vs. active TB (bacteria actively attacking lung tissue)
No bump means on TB skin test means you are negative for TB

Cystic Fibrosis hereditary, recessive, caused by a gene/protein
defect chloride can’t be transported out of cells, so water
diffuses indries out mucus, causing it to clog affect organs
affects lungs (more infections)& pancreas (prevents digestive enzymes from reaching intestines, causing decreased nutrient absorption)
treatments: antibiotics for infections, exercises to remove mucus from lungs, digestive enzymes mixed into foods

Cystic Fibrosis
![Page 50: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Lung Cancer Cigarette smoking causes an estimated 443,000 deaths
each year, including approximately 49,400 deaths due to exposure to secondhand smoke.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women in the United States, and 90 percent of lung cancer deaths among men and approximately 80 percent of lung cancer deaths among women are due to smoking.
![Page 51: Respiratory System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813868550346895da0172e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Smoking causes many other types of cancer, including cancers of the throat, mouth, nasal cavity, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and cervix, and acute myeloid leukemia.
People who smoke are up to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than nonsmokers, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked. Smoking also causes most cases of chronic lung disease.
In 2009, approximately 20.6 percent of U.S. adults were cigarette smokers.
Nearly 20 percent of high school students smoke cigarettes.
