57. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Pressure Relationships in the Thoracic Cavity Atmospheric pressure (P atm ) Pressure exerted by the air surrounding the body 760 mm Hg at sea level Respiratory pressures are described relative to P atm Negative respiratory pressure is less than P atm Positive respiratory pressure is greater than P atm Zero respiratory pressure = P atm

58. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Intrapulmonary Pressure Intrapulmonary pressure (P pul ) Pressure in the alveoli Fluctuates with breathing Always eventually equalizes with P atm (0 respiratory pressure)

59. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Intrapleural Pressure Intrapleural pressure (P ip ): Pressure in the pleural cavity Fluctuates with breathing Always a negative pressure

60. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Intrapleural Pressure Negative P ip 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

61. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Pressure Relationships If P ip = P pul the lungs collapse The difference in these pressures = transpulmonary pressure Keeps the airways open The greater the transpulmonary pressure, the larger the lungs

65. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Boyle’s Law The relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas Pressure varies inversely with volume As we decrease volume, we increase pressure As we increase volume, we decrease pressure Who likes marshmallows?

66. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. 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 P pul = P atm

67. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Expiration Quiet expiration is normally a passive process Inspiratory muscles relax Thoracic cavity volume decreases Elastic lungs recoil and intrapulmonary volume decreases Intrapulmonary pressure increases (to +1 mm Hg) Air flows out of the lungs down its pressure gradient until pulmonary pressure (Ppul) = 0 Note: forced expiration is an active process: it uses abdominal and internal intercostal muscles

69. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Airway Resistance As airway resistance rises, breathing movements become more strenuous Severely constricted or obstructed bronchioles Can prevent life-sustaining ventilation Can occur during acute asthma attacks and stop ventilation Epinephrine dilates bronchioles and reduces air resistance As airway resistance rises, breathing movements become more strenuous Severely constricted or obstructed bronchioles Can prevent life-sustaining ventilation Can occur during acute asthma attacks and stop ventilation Epinephrine dilates bronchioles and reduces air resistance As airway resistance rises, breathing movements become more strenuous Severely constricted or obstructed bronchioles Can prevent life-sustaining ventilation Can occur during acute asthma attacks and stop ventilation Epinephrine dilates bronchioles and reduces air resistance
