1
The Respiratory System
2
Do Now Missing Work Check-In
3
Homework Read pg. 440-445 Answer questions 3-6 on pg. 445
4
Structures of the Respiratory System Nose Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Alveoli
5
Structures of the Respiratory System Ultimate goal is to get air to the alveoli What purpose do the other structures serve? ◦Purify ◦Humidify ◦Warm
6
Anatomy of the Nose Nostrils ◦Outer, visible part of the nose Nasal Cavity ◦Interior Nasal septum ◦Divides the nasal cavity Mucosa ◦Trap incoming bacteria
7
Soft v. Hard Palate Both work to separate the nasal cavity from the oral cavity Hard - Bone Soft – Unsupported by bone (tissue)
8
Sinuses
9
Rhinitis Inflammation of the… ◦Nasal mucosa Caused by cold viruses and allergens Results in congestion and postnasal drip
10
Sinusitis Inflammation of the sinuses! Sinuses are blocked with mucus Sinus headache ensues…
11
Pharynx v. Larynx Pharynx – “throat” ◦Common passageway for food and air ◦Houses the tonsils Tonsillitis causes mouth breathing – insufficient air moistening and filtration Larynx – “voice box” ◦Vocal cords vibrate when air is expelled, creating you voice ◦Cough reflex is used when anything other than air enters the larynx
12
Pharynx v. Larynx
13
Review Questions Where is the air warmed? List 2 organs of the respiratory system other than the nose. What does the septum do?
14
Lower Respiratory Tract
15
Do Now What is tuberculosis? Have Questions #3-6 from pg. 463 out
16
Homework Questions 8-11 on pg. 463
17
Trachea “Windpipe” – approx 4 inches long Trachea reinforced with hyaline cartilage ◦Allow esophagus to expand when swallowing What do you do when the trachea is obstructed? ◦Heimlich maneuver ◦Tracheostomy
18
Cilia Mucosa Line the trachea Help keep the mucus away from the lungs Smoking kills the cilia ◦What is then the response to keeping mucus out of the lungs?
19
Bronchi Main branches from where the trachea splits “Upside down tree” Brochioles are smaller braches that break off into the lungs “Respiratory tree”
20
Bronchi
21
Lungs Take up the majority of the thoracic cavity House the bronchioles and alveoli ◦Necessary for gas exchange ◦Air sacs, resembling bunches of grapes Weigh about 2.5 lbs
22
Alveoli Have thin walls of epithelial tissue ◦Much thinner than a piece of paper ◦Covered with a vast amount of capillaries Combination of the alveoli and capillary walls create the respiratory membrane ◦Air on one side – blood on the other Surface area of alveolar walls in males is 50-70 sq meters ◦40x greater than the skin!
23
Review Questions Why is nose breathing preferable to mouth breathing? What is the specific function of the cilia in the trachea? In a nose breather, list the passage way of air from the nose alveoli and all stages in between.
24
Homework Questions 8-11 on pg. 463
25
Respiratory Physiology p. 445-447
26
Do Now Begin working on Worksheet which will review for quiz on Monday
27
Respiratory System What is the major function of the respiratory system? ◦Supply oxygen ◦Expel carbon dioxide
28
Respiration What is respiration? Four Key Events 1.Pulmonary Ventilation 2.External respiration 3.Respiratory gas transport 4.Internal respiration
29
Pulmonary Ventilation Pulmonary = lungs Air flow in and out of lungs “Breathing”
30
External Respiration Gas exchange What gases? Oxygen entering capillaries Carbon dioxide exiting through the alveoli
31
Respiratory Gas Transport Gases must be transported ◦Where is the Carbon Dioxide coming from? ◦Where is the oxygen coming from?
32
Internal Respiration Oxygen must get to the destination ◦Where is the final destination? Gases must exchange internally ◦Capillaries and cells in the body
33
Video! Respiratory Gas Exchange
34
Mechanics of Breathing Breathing depends on a change of volume in the thoracic cavity Volume of thoracic cavity changes, gases flow to fill the space Liquids form to the shape of container, gases fill the container
35
Lung Volumes
36
Lung Volumes and Capacities Many factors affect the amount of air a persons lungs can hold ◦Size ◦Male/Female ◦Age ◦Physical condition
37
Lung Volumes and Capacities TIDAL VOLUME (TV) ◦Normal, quiet breathing ◦Generally about 500mL INSPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (IRV) ◦“Hard inhale” ◦Forced intake of air ◦3100 mL
38
Lung Volumes and Capacities EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (ERV) ◦After normal expiration, more air can be forced out of the lungs ◦1200 mL VITAL CAPACITY (VC) ◦Total amount of exchangeable air ◦TV + IRV + ERV = VC RESIDUAL VOLUME ◦1200 mL of air remains in the lungs and cannot be forced out during expiration
39
Homework Review Lab for next class Write purpose and your hypothesis for this lab
40
Respiratory Disorders
41
Do Now #1 Read p. 456 in textbook and answer the following questions 1. What is the increase in allergies correlated with? 2. People of 3 rd world countries are thought to be less likely to have allergies. Why is that? 3. What conclusion does this piece draw at the end of the reading?
42
Do Now #2 List and explain the 4 key steps of pulmonary respiration
43
Do Now #2 Four Key Events 1.Pulmonary Ventilation 2.External respiration 3.Respiratory gas transport 4.Internal respiration
44
Review TIDAL VOLUME (TV) ◦Normal, quiet breathing ◦Generally about 500mL INSPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (IRV) ◦“Hard inhale” ◦Forced intake of air ◦3100 mL
45
Review EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (ERV) ◦After normal expiration, more air can be forced out of the lungs ◦1200 mL VITAL CAPACITY (VC) ◦Total amount of exchangeable air ◦TV + IRV + ERV = VC RESIDUAL VOLUME ◦1200 mL of air remains in the lungs and cannot be forced out during expiration
46
Respiratory Disorders Respiratory system vulnerable to pathogens ◦Why? ◦Airborne pathogens Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Lung Cancer
47
COPD Chronic bronchitis Emphysema With both, history of smoking is almost assured Difficulty breathing Pulmonary infection
48
Chronic bronchitis Bronchitis? Inflammation of the bronchi Excessive amounts of mucus ◦Problems with excessive amounts of muscus? ◦Impairs gas exchange Increases risk of lung infection ◦Pneumonia Inflammation of air sacs Fills with fluid and puss
49
Pneumonia
50
Emphysema Lungs become less elastic Airways collapse during expiration and the airway is obstructed Causes patient to use a lot of energy when exhaling
51
Emphysema
52
Lung Cancer Leading death of cancer in both men and women in USA Approx 90% of lung cancer is due to smoking Most effective treatment is to remove infection lobe of the lung
53
Homework Read p. 455 – 460 ◦Define: Hyperventilation Apnea Sleep Apnea Cystic fibrosis
