RIGHT HAS 3 LOBES (SUPERIOR, MIDDLE
INFERIOR LOBES), LARGER WHY?
LOBES SUBDIVIDE INTO LOBULES

INSPIRATION
EXSPIRATION

INSPIRATION:
 DIAPHRAGM CONTRACTS: INCREASES CHEST CAVITY SIZE
THEREBY DECREASING ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE BY 2mm Hg
 EXTERNAL INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES AND SOME THORACIC
MUSCLES MAY ALSO CONTRACT
 PLEURAL MEMBRANE HELD TO THORACIC CAVITY WALL BY
DECREASED PRESSURE, WATER, SURFACE TENSION
 SURFACTANT RELEASED BY ALVEOLAR CELLS WHICH KEEP
ALVEOLI FROM STICKING TOGETHER
 AIR DIFFUSES IN
MUSCLES CONTRACT MORE AND MORE MUSCLES ARE USED TO
TAKE A DEEPER BREATH
COMPLIANCE= EASE WITH WHICH THE LUNGS EXPAND
DECREASES AS LUNGS EXPAND; ALSO DUE TO OBSTRUCTIONS,
DAMAGED LUNG TISSUE,

EXPIRATION


PASSIVE
ELASTIC RECOIL
 OF LUNGS, ABDOMINAL ORGANS, RIBS
 PRESSURE INCREASES
 FORCEFUL EXPIRATION BY CONTRACTION OF
INTERNAL INTERCOSTALS AND AB MUSCLES
PUSH DIAPHRAGM UP HIGHER

SPIROMETRY
RESPIRATORY CYCLE: ONE INSPIRATION AND ONE EXPIRATION

RESTING TIDAL VOLUME
 NORMAL BREATH: ~500mL

 EXTRA AIR ENTERING DURING A MAXIMUM BREATH: ~3,000mL

EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME
 EXTRA AIR EXITING DURING A MAXIMUM EXHALE: ~1,100mL

RESIDUAL VOLUME
 AIR LEFT IN LUNGS AFTER MAXIMUM EXHALATION: ~1200mL

 VITAL CAPACITY PLUS RESIDUAL VOLUME: 5,800mL
 VARIES WITH AGE, GENDER, BODY SIZE
ANATOMICAL DEAD SPACE:
AIR THAT IN PASSAGEWAY: NOT EXCHANGED
ALVEOLAR DEAD SPACE
AIR IN ALVEOLI THAT AREN’T WORKING
PHYSIOLOGIC DEAD SPACE
ANATOMIC AND ALVEOLAR DEAD SPACE
IN NORMAL LUNG BOTH THE SAME (ANATOMIC AND PHYSIOLOGIC)
CHECKS FOR DISEASES



VOLUME OF NEW AIR MOVED IN EVERY
MINUTE
TIDAL VOLUME – PHYSIOLOGIC DEAD
SPACE x BREATHING RATE
AFFECTS CONCENTRATION OF O2 AND
CO2

CLEAR AIR PASSAGEWAYS


EMOTIONS


COUGHING, SNEEZING
COUGH: AIR FORCED THROUGH CLOSED GLOTTIS
SNEEZE: CLEARS UPPER TRACT, FORCED OUT BY
AIR THROUGH GLOTTIS BY IRRITATION
LAUGHING, CRYING
HICCUP
SUDDEN INSPIRATION FROM SPASMODIC
CONTRACTION
 YAWNING:

 PURPOSE?
 CONTAGIOUS?



INVOLUNTARY BUT CAN BE VOLUNTARY SOMEWHAT
RESPIRATORY AREAS IN BRAINSTEM
 CONTROL INSPIRATION AND EXPIRATION, ADJUST RATE AND DEPTH
OF BREATHING
RESPIRATORY CENTER OF BRAINSTEM
 MEDULLARY RESPIRATORY CENTER
 VENTRAL RESPIRATORY GROUP
 BASIC RHYTHM
 2 DIFFERENT GROUPS TO CONTROL INSPIRATION AND
EXPIRATION
 DORSAL RESPIRATORY
INSPIRATORY MUSCLES (ESPECIALLY DIAPHRAGM)
 MORE FORCEFUL
 HELPS PROCESS THE SENSORY INFO
 PONTINE RESPIRATORY : PNEUMOTAXIC
 LIMITS INSPIRATION
 AFFECTS RHYTHM

PARTIAL PRESSURE:




PROPORTIONAL TO GAS’ CONCENTRATION
(O2=21%/160Hg)
BREATHING AFFECTED BY PARTIAL
PRESSURE IN BODY FLUIDS, LUNG TISSUE
STRETCH, EMOTIONS, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
RECEPTORS: MECHANORECEPTORS
(STRETCH); CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL
CHEMORECEPTORS

IN VENTRAL MEDULLA NEAR VAGUS
NERVE


INDIRECTLY TO CHANGES IN BLOOD pH
H+ CANNOT PASS BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER
 CO2 + H20  H2CO3
 H2CO3  H+ + HCO3 HIGHER CO2 INCREASES BREATHING RATE AND
TIDAL VOLUME
 MORE CO2 EXHALED AND H+ DECREASES

LOW O2 HAS LITTLE EFFECT




PICK UP CHANGES IN PARTIAL PRESSURE
OF O2
IN CAROTID AND AORTIC BODIES
(WALLS)
LOW 02 (BELOW 50%) IMPULSE TO
RESPIRATORY CENTER  INCREASE
ALVEOLAR VENTILATION
CAN BE AFFECTED SOME BY CO2 AND H+




STRETCH RECEPTORS STIMULATED AS
LUNGS EXPAND
VAGUS NERVE IMIPULSE TO PONTINE
RESPIRATORY CENTER
SHORTENS INFLATION
PREVENTS OVERINFLATION



ALSO AFFECTED BY EMOTIONS, COLD,
VOLUNTARILY
HOLDING BREATH: CO2 H+ INCREASE
AND EVENTUALLY NEED TO BREATHE
HYPERVENTILATION  DECREASES CO2
 PASS OUT


ALVEOLAR PORES CAN ALLOW AIR TO
PASS TO OTHER ALVEOLI: ALLOWS AIR TO
BY-PASS SOME BLOCKAGES
ALVEOLAR PHAGOCYTES IN ALVEOLI
AND PORES ?





TYPE 2 CELLS: SECRETE SURFACTANT
MOST: TYPE I: SIMPLE SQUAMOUS
CAPILLARIES OUTSIDE ALVEOLI
BASEMENT MEMBRANE HOLDS ALVEOLI
AND CAPILLARIES TOGETHER
GAS MOVES THROUGH






DIFFUSION: FROM HIGHER PARTIAL
PRESSURE TO LOWER
CO2: PRESSURE IN CAPILLARIES = mm45Hg
AND ALVEOLI = mm 40Hg
DIFFUSES ?
O2 40mm Hg IN CAPPILARIES AND 104 mm Hg
IN ALVEOLI (DIFFUSES?)
DISEASE: HARMS RESPIRATORY MEMBRANE
OR REDUCES SURFACE AREA DECREASES
DIFFUSION
SINCE RESPIRATORY MEMBRANE IS THIN
OTHER CHEMICALS CAN DIFFUSE: ALCOHOL





98%  HEMOGLOBIN OF RBC:
OXYHEMOGLOBIN
HIGHER THE PARTIAL PRESSURE OF O2
MORE BINDS TILL SATURATION
UNSTABLE BOND: BREAKS WHEN
PRESSURE DECREASES
HIGHER CO2 CONCENTRATION, ACIDITY,
AND TEMPERATURE RELEASES MORE O2
WHY MORE ACTIVE CELLS RECEIVE MORE
O2

PICKED UP FROM CELLS ?






DISSOLVED (7%); CARBAMINOHEMOGLOBIN (1525%); BICARBONATE (~70%)
BONDS TO AMINE GROUP IMPORTANCE?
RBC CONTAINS CARBONIC ANHYDRASE (?)
TURNS CO2 + H20 TO CARBONIC ACID
DISSOCIATES TO BICARBONATE + H+
H+ BUFFERED BY DEOXYHEMOGLOBIN
CHLORIDE SHIFT: BICARBONATE LEAVES RBC
+ CHLORIDE ENTERS TO MAINTAIN IONIC
BALANCE
AFTER CO2 DIFFUSES OUT, CARBONIC ACID
REFORMS CO2 + H2O

POLLUTED AIR/SMOKING = BRONCHITIS,
EMPHYSEMS, CANCER, DAMAGED CELLS
CILIATED EPITHELIUM AND CILIA

MUCUS THICKENS, SWALLOWING,
GAGGING, COUGHING REFLEXES SLOW

SHAPE OF THORACIC CAVITY CHANGES
CARTILAGE STIFFENS
MORE FIBEROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE =
LESS FLEXIBILITY
VITAL CAPACITY DECREASES ~-1/3 BY 70
BRONCHIOLES THIN AND DON’T STAY AS
OPEN
MORE DEAD SPACE
BY 80 MAXIMUM VENTILATION DROPS BY
50%
300 MILLION ALVEOLI @ 8 YEARS, SAME
AMOUNT BUT DEPTH DECREASES BY 40 =
3 SQ FT PER YEAR
