Chapter 16
2
Ventilation includes: Inspiration (inhalation) Expiration (exhalation)
3
Pressure in lung decreases Air flows from atmosphere, where pressure is higher, and into lungs Why does pressure decrease in lungs during this time?
4
Due to elasticity of lungs Forced expiration helped by thoracic and abdominal wall muscles
5
Diaphragm Atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg) Intra-alveolar pressure (758 mm Hg) Intra-alveolar pressure (760 mm Hg) (a)(b)
6
One inspiration One exhalation
7
Spirometry: measuring different air volumes Tidal Volume: amount of air that enters/leaves lungs during one respiratory cycle Normal = 500 mL
8
Extra volume of air can enter lungs (Inspiratory Reserve Volume) Maximum = 3000 mL Inspiratory Capacity = IRV + TV
9
Lungs can expel extra air volume (Expiratory Reserve Volume) 1100 mL of air beyond TV Air leftover = Residual Volume 1200 mL Functional Residual Capacity = ERV + RV
10
IRV + TV + ERV = VC Maximum volume of air a person can exhale, after taking the deepest breath possible
11
VC + Residual Volume = TLC Varies with age, gender, body size

13
-Helps evaluate courses of emphysema, pneumonia, lung cancer (conditions where functional lung tissue is lost) -Also helps track progress of diseases like bronchial asthma (obstructs air passages)

Medulla Oblongata!
15
Movement of particles across a membrane from areas of high concentration to low concentration
16
Gases move from areas of high pressure to low pressure Total pressure of air includes the partial pressure of each gas in the air
17
Partial pressure of oxygen is higher in alveoli air than in capillary blood Which way will oxygen diffuse? Partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher in capillary blood than in alveoli air Which way will carbon dioxide diffuse?
18
Blood flow (to body tissues) Alveolus Diffusion of O 2 P CO 2 = 40 mm Hg P O 2 = 104 mm Hg Capillary Alveolar wall Blood flow (from body tissues) P CO 2 = 40 mm Hg P O 2 = 104 mm Hg P CO 2 = 45 mm Hg P O 2 = 40 mm Hg
