10 November 2008 Finish Ch 12 Cardiovascular Begin Ch 14 Respiratory Physiology Lab this week: Frog heart physiology – Review actions of ACh, Atropine, and EPI – Effects of temperature on HR – Producing heart blocks – Double-pithed Syllabus change: Digestion moved to end
2
Respiratory Physiology The physics of air flow 1) Flow in tubes 2) Ventilation
3
Respiration is the overall movement of gases between the outside environment and the internal cells O2O2 O2O2 CO 2 But Carbon Dioxide reacts with water!
6
The major parts of the “airways,” along which air movements (ventilation) occur during breathing. Upper Respiratory Tract The Structure underlying the function: Lower Respiratory Tract Bronchitis Asthma

The relaxation/contraction of circular smooth muscle lining these “airways’” determines how easily airflow can occur (bronchodilation vs. bronchoconstriction). Most gas exchange occurs in the ~8,000,000 alveolar sacs. Figure 13-2 Anatomical Dead Space
