The mucous lining• The nasal cavity and upper airways
have a mucous lining.
• The epithelial lining contains goblet cells which secrete a clear, sticky mucus.
• The function of mucus is to trap dirt particles and microbes before they enter the lungs.
![Page 8: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The nose (nasal cavity)• Air enters and leaves the body
through the nose.
• Here it is cleaned, warmed and moistened before entering the body.
• The nasal secretions contain an anti-bacterial enzyme – lysozyme.

The larynx (Adam’s apple or voice box)
• The larynx is a box-like structure constructed from nine cartilages and is the entrance to the trachea and lungs.
• The larynx houses the vocal folds or vocal cords.
• The entrance to the larynx is protected by the epiglottis.

Trachea & bronchi
• The trachea & bronchi are reinforced with C-shaped rings of cartilage (these prevent the tubes collapsing during inhalation).
![Page 13: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• The upper airways are lined with a ciliated mucous membrane–The sticky mucus traps dirt &
microbes–The cilia sweep the dirty mucus
up the trachea and into the throat.

Alveoli
• The brochioles terminate in microscopic clusters of air sacs – the alveoli.
• Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli.

Exchange surfaces
• Like all exchange surfaces, the alveoli:
–are very thin
–have a large surface area
–are moist
–have a rich blood supply
![Page 22: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Breathing
• Breathing (sometimes referred to as ventilation) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs.
• The purpose of breathing is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the air .
![Page 23: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Boyle's law
• Boyle's law states that: for a fixed amount of gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure (P) and volume (V) are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases).
• This can be stated mathematically as:PV = k
• where: P is the pressure, V is the volume & k is a constant value representative of the pressure and volume of the system.
![Page 24: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Respiration
• Respiration is the transport of oxygen from the air to the tissues and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.
[not to be confused with the process of cellular respiration discussed earlier]
![Page 25: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
External respiration and Internal respiration
• External respiration is the movement of O2 and CO2 between the lungs and the bloodstream.
• Internal respiration is the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the blood and the tissues.
![Page 26: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

A bicycle pump works in much the same way
as the lungs
![Page 30: Unit 2A Human Form & Function](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814e14550346895dbb7b67/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The lungs work in much the same way as a bicycle pump
If you increase the volume of the chamber air is sucked in
If you decrease the volume of the chamber air is forced out

Why breathe?Fresh air passing through the lungs delivers oxygen to the red blood cells. At the same time, waste carbon dioxide is removed from the blood. This can only occur if fresh air is constantly circulating through the lungs.

Oxygen transport
• Oxygen combines with haemoglobin in RBCs to form oxyhaemoglobin.

Carbon dioxide transport• Most CO2 is transported in the plasma as
dissolved bicarbonate ions. -
