17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System
 ETS – Environmental Tobacco Smoke or
“secondhand smoke” is inhaled by passive
smokers - people who are in the same
environment as active smokers
 Carbon monoxide = most abundant chemical
in ETS
 ETS has a high concentration of particulates
(tar)
 ETS damages lungs, but chemicals can also
pass into bloodstream

17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System
On average, a resting
human:
 Breathes once every
12 seconds
 Takes a breath with
a volume of about
500 mililiters
 Sends about 6 liters
of air per minute into
the lungs

17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Diaphragm
 Breathing is accomplished by the
diaphragm and rib cage.

17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Lungs
Respiratory tree
 Single trachea
 Air enters the lungs
through paired bronchi.
 Bronchi branch into
bronchioles.
 Bronchioles finally end at
alveoli
 small, vascularized sacs
 Site of gas exchange
with blood
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Lungs
 On average, lungs contain about 300 million
alveoli.
 Alveoli contain the respiratory surface through
which the body acquires O2 and eliminates CO2
 The total area
of the respiratory
surface in a pair
of lungs is about
the same area
as a tennis court.

17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Gas Exchange
 Gas exchange is the
primary function of the
lungs:
 O2 from the environment
is exchanged for CO2
from the body.
 Gas exchange occurs
by simple diffusion
between the alveoli and
the capillaries.

carbon dioxide concentration low

Capillary: oxygen concentration low,

17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Gas Exchange
Why is O2 needed and where does CO2 come from?
 Cells use ATP for energy.
 ATP is made during cellular respiration
 The molecular bonds in sugar molecules are
broken to release energy, and the remaining
carbons are given off as CO2
 O2 from the environment serves as the final
electron receptor in cellular respiration, allowing for
the energy from electrons to be used to build ATP.
 For review, see chapter 4

17.1 Effects of Smoke on Respiratory System
The Role of Hemoglobin in Gas Exchange
 CO2 easily diffuses from blood to air
 O2 requires help to enter the blood.
 Hemoglobin – respiratory pigment, a
protein that binds to oxygen
 Hemoglobin turns bright red when it
binds with oxygen
 A single hemoglobin is made up of 4
different protein chains, each with an
iron atom
 EachHemoglobin carries 4 O2
 A red blood cell contains about 250
million hemoglobin molecules; it can
carry 1 billion oxygen molecules

17.1 Effects of Smoke on Respiratory System
Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hemoglobin
 CO = most abundant chemical in ETS
 Hemoglobin is efficient at binding O2, but even
more effective at binding carbon monoxide.
 Even small amounts of carbon monoxide can tie up a
lot of hemoglobin.
 Carbon monoxide causes oxygen shortages in
tissues.
 Carbon monoxide is especially damaging to fetuses
and embryos.
 Lower than average birth weights associated with
smoking mothers are due to oxygen deprivation.

17.1 Effects of Smoke on Respiratory System
Smoke Particles and Lung Function
 The majority of the damage to lungs is
caused by particulates in smoke, which
damage the surfaces of the lungs.
 Children and infants particularly vulnerable
 Particulates cause bronchitis and asthma
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
17.1 Effects of Smoke on Respiratory System
Particulates, Bronchitis and Asthma
 Particulates interfere with the lung’s defense
systems
1. Cough is first response to lung irritants
2. Small particles don’t trigger cough; they
become trapped in mucus lining the respiratory
tract
 Cilia move trapped particles to nose and
mouth – i.e. mucociliary escalator
 Particulates increase mucus production, but
damage cilia => smokers cough or Bronchitis

17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Smoke Particles and Lung Function
 Bronchitis
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 17.7
17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Bronchitis and Asthma
 Asthma = an allergic reaction where
bronchioles constrict and mucus
production increases.
 Particulates are known to exacerbate
asthma.
 The EPA estimates that environmental
tobacco smoke, or ETS, will cause 26,000
additional cases of asthma per year.

17.1 Effects of Smoke on the Respiratory
System - Bronchitis and Asthma
Particulates and Emphysema
 Tiniest particles of smoke can even reach
alveoli where gas exchange occurs.
 Without cilia, these particles can remain in
the alveoli for long periods
 Causes irritation or even permanent
damage to alveoli called Emphysema
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
17.1 Effects of Smoke on Respiratory System
Emphysema
 As alveoli are damaged, scar tissue forms
and alveoli merge into fewer and larger sacs.
 This drastically reduces surface area for gas
exchange.
 The damage
is permanent;
lung tissue
is not
regenerated.

Lung Cancer
Cancerous tumor
 Many of the particulates in
cigarette smoke contain
chemicals known to be
carcinogens
 Particulates can stay on
lung surfaces for long
periods of time
 Risk of mutation remains
long after cigarette has
been smoked

17.2 Spreading the Effects of Smoke –
Smoke and Cardiovascular Disease
 Most cardiovascular damage from smoking
is caused by nicotine.
 In high doses, nicotine is toxic to mammals.
 Nicotine increases production of LDL and
decreases production of HDL, which can lead
to atherosclerosis.
 Nicotine stimulates blood clot formation,
which can result in stroke or heart attack.

Kidney Structure and Function
 Nephron = functional unit of
the kidneys
 Each kidney contains about
1,250,000 nephrons.
 Each kidney filters about 1000
liters of blood every day

Blood
1 Filtration: Blood
pressure forces
plasma into the
nephron through
tiny holes in the
adjacent capillaries.
2 Reabsorption:
Sugars, amino
acids, and water are
reabsorbed into the
kidney tissue
across the nephron
loop. Salt actively
removed from the
filtrate on the
ascending limb of
the nephron loop
becomes
concentrated in
Water
the interior of the
kidney, causing
water to flow out
passively.
Toxins
Salts
3 Secretion: Wastes
that are in low
concentration in the
blood are actively
secreted into the far
end of the nephron.
4 Excretion: After
the filtrate is further
concentrated as the
tube extends into
the salty tissue of
the kidney, urine is
excreted into the
bladder.
Figure 17.20
17.3 Smoking and the Excretory System
Smoking has a severe impact on the
excretory system
 Causes
 Probably related to increased blood pressure,
which strains nephrons
 Increased particulate load also stresses
kidneys with increased waste removal
 Effects
 38% higher incidence of kidney cancer in
smokers
 Bladder cancer 3 times more common in
smokers
