Respiration
• Pulmonary ventilation (breathing):movement of air into and outof the lungs
• External respiration: O2 and CO2
exchange between the lungsand the blood
• Transport: O2 and CO2
in the blood
• Internal respiration: O2 and CO2
exchange between systemic bloodvessels and tissues

Functional Anatomy
• Respiratory zone: site of gas exchange
• Microscopic structures: respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
• Conducting zone: passageways to gas exchange sites
• Includes all other respiratory structures
• Respiratory muscles: diaphragm and other muscles that promote ventilation

Bronchi and Subdivisions
• Air passages undergo 23 orders of branching
• Branching pattern called the bronchial (respiratory) tree
![Page 7: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Respiratory Zone
• Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs (clusters of alveoli)
• ~300 million alveoli account for most of the lungs’ volume and are the main site for gas exchange

Respiratory Membrane
• ~0.5-m-thick air-blood barrier
• Alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basement membranes
• Alveolar walls
• Single layer of squamous epithelium (type I cells)
• Scattered type II cuboidal cells secrete surfactant and antimicrobial proteins

Alveoli
• Surrounded by fine elastic fibers
• Contain open pores that
• Connect adjacent alveoli
• Allow air pressure throughout the lung to be equalized
• House alveolar macrophages that keep alveolar surfaces sterile
![Page 14: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Fluids And The Lung
• Pleural fluid fills the pleural cavity
• Provides lubrication and surface tension
• Surfactant within the alveoli
• Lowers alveolar surface tension
![Page 15: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Mechanics of Breathing
• Pulmonary ventilation consists of two phases
1. Inspiration: gases flow into the lungs
2.Expiration: gases exit the lungs
![Page 16: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Pressure Relationships in the Thoracic Cavity
• Atmospheric pressure (Patm)
• Pressure exerted by the air surrounding the body
• 760 mm Hg at sea level
• Respiratory pressures are described relative to Patm
• Negative respiratory pressure is less than Patm
• Positive respiratory pressure is greater than Patm
• Zero respiratory pressure = Patm
![Page 17: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Intrapulmonary Pressure
• Intrapulmonary (intra-alveolar) pressure (Ppul)
• Pressure in the alveoli
• Fluctuates with breathing
• Always eventually equalizes with Patm
![Page 18: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Intrapleural Pressure
• Intrapleural pressure (Pip):
• Pressure in the pleural cavity
• Fluctuates with breathing
• Always a negative pressure (<Patm and <Ppul)
• What happens if it equalizes with atmospheric pressure?
![Page 19: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Intrapleural Pressure
• Negative Pip is caused by opposing forces
• Two inward forces promote lung collapse
• Elastic recoil of lungs decreases lung size
• Surface tension of alveolar fluid reduces alveolar size
• One outward force tends to enlarge the lungs
• Elasticity of the chest wall pulls the thorax outward
![Page 20: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Alveolar Surface Tension
• Surfactant
• Detergent-like lipid and protein complex produced by type II alveolar cells
• Reduces surface tension of alveolar fluid and discourages alveolar collapse
• Insufficient quantity in premature infants causes infant respiratory distress syndrome

Homeostatic Imbalance
• Atelectasis (lung collapse) is due to
• Plugged bronchioles collapse of alveoli
• Wound that admits air into pleural cavity (pneumothorax)
![Page 23: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Pulmonary Ventilation
• Inspiration and expiration
• Mechanical processes that depend on volume changes in the thoracic cavity
• Volume changes pressure changes
• Pressure changes gases flow to equalize pressure
![Page 24: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Boyle’s Law
• The relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas
• Pressure (P) varies inversely with volume (V):
P1V1 = P2V2
![Page 25: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Inspiration
• An active process
• Inspiratory muscles contract
• Thoracic volume increases
• Lungs are stretched and intrapulmonary volume increases
• Intrapulmonary pressure drops (to 1 mm Hg)
• Air flows into the lungs, down its pressure gradient, until Ppul = Patm
![Page 26: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Expiration
• Quiet expiration is normally a passive process
• Inspiratory muscles relax
• Thoracic cavity volume decreases
• Elastic lungs recoil and intrapulmonary volume decreases
• Ppul rises (to +1 mm Hg)
• Air flows out of the lungs down its pressure gradient until Ppul = 0
• Note: forced expiration is an active process: it uses abdominal and internal intercostal muscles
![Page 28: Marieb Chapter 22: The Respiratory System Part A](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813c4b550346895da5c9c6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Intrapleural pressure.Pleural cavity pressure becomes more negative as chest wall expands during inspiration. Returns to initial value as chest wall recoils.
Volume of breath.During each breath, the pressure gradients move 0.5 liter of air into and out of the lungs.

Airway Resistance
• Resistance is usually not a problem for normal people because we have large diameter airways or many smaller diameter airways
• As airway resistance rises, breathing movements become more strenuous
• Severely constricting or obstruction of bronchioles
• Can prevent life-sustaining ventilation
• Can occur during acute asthma attacks and stop ventilation
• Epinephrine dilates bronchioles and reduces air resistance

Lung Compliance

Lung Compliance
• Lessened by
• Non-elastic scar tissue (fibrosis)
• Reduced production of surfactant
• Decreased flexibility of the thoracic cage
