Respiratory System
2
Tracheal System in Insects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwhcgkVO3c Tracheal system Branched air tubes Air sacs spiracle
6
Path of air 1.pharynx 2.Larynx 3.Trachea 4.Bronchi 5.Bronchioles 6.Alveoli (air sacs)
7
Alveolus/alveoli 300 million/lung Surrounded by capillary bed coming from right atria pulmonary arteries (low O 2 )-why?! 1 cell thick walls….why?!
8
Ventilation V Gas Exchange V Cellular Respiration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJuFmyXeHkA&oref=https%3A% 2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnJuFmyXeHkA&has_veri fied=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJuFmyXeHkA&oref=https%3A% 2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnJuFmyXeHkA&has_veri fied=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaOBcF6N7e4
9
Gas Exchange Uptake of O 2 from environment and discharge of CO 2 Involves lungs and capillary beds
10
Alveoli Details Large S.A Flat, single cell Moist lining Nearby capillary bed
12
Gas Exchange cont. Atmosphere =21% O 2 by volume O 2 and CO 2 move into and out of lungs via PASSIVE transport (we need a concentration gradient) Lung surface=thin, folded, moist, and branched to maximize gas exchange
13
Gas Exchange cont. Rate of diffusion is proportional to surface area and the inverse of distance needed to travel…see size of lung and distance to capillary bed
14
Ventilation Act of breathing Increase flow of respiratory medium (source of O 2 ) over respiratory surface Ex: human breathing EX: fish and gills https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVFqME-NW9s
15
Why do we need ventilation? Creates a concentration gradient for O 2 and CO 2 O 2 needed for aerobic respiration O 2 from lungs to blood CO 2 from blood to lungs Cycles lung air with atmosphere
16
Ventilation Muscles surrounding lungs include Diaphragm, abs, intercostal muscles Lungs located in thoracic cavity Lungs “open” to atmosphere via trachea
17
Pressure V Volume in lungs Inverse relationship
18
Inspiration V Expiration
20
Inspiration Inside lungs, volume increases so pressure….? Creates a partial vacuum inside of the lung Air that comes in via your mouth or nasal passageway counteracts the partial vacuum The air fills your alveoli
21

22
Blood’s Role Hemoglobin Structure
24
4 O 2 = saturated
25
Myoglobin Heme protein found in muscle that stores 1 oxygen molecules Releases the oxygen as needed
26
Oxygen Dissociation Curve X-axis= partial pressure of oxygen Y-axis= % Oxygen saturation in hemoglobin Oxygen’s partial pressure increases as more Oxygen binds to hemoglobin and myoglobin (changes shape so O 2 binds easier)
27
Fetuses need more oxygen than adults
28
Bohr Shift When CO 2 binds to hemoglobin, O 2 is released https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrvrs6RXxwY
29
Exercise Medulla oblongata controls the diaphragm and intercostal muscles Increase in CO 2 = decrease in pH in blood=more nerve impulses=increased ventilation to get more O 2
30
Asthma Airways=inflamed, produce extra mucous
31
Smoking Stiffens cilia=mucous accumulates Emphysema= alveoli walls loose elasticity so air gets stuck
32
High Altitude Air pressure changes Increase RBC Increase capillaries in lungs and muscles Increase lung size Increase myoglobin
