Respiratory System Function??????
3
Lung Exchange of gases with body cells Cell Capillary Mitochondria Breathing Circulatory system Transport of gases by the circulatory system CO 2 O2O2 O2O2 1 2 3
4
Cut CO 2 O2O2 Cross section of respiratory surface (the outer skin) Capillaries
5
Specialized organs used for gas exchange –Gills in fish and amphibians –Tracheal systems in arthropods –Lungs in tetrapods that live on land –Amphibians –Reptiles –Birds –Mammals
6
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Gills –Increase the surface area for gas exchange –Oxygen absorbed –Carbon dioxide released - gas exchange is enhanced by –Ventilation of the gills (moving water past the gills) –Countercurrent flow of water and blood

Human Respiratory System Structures?????
11
Nasal cavity Pharynx larynx Trachea – Cilia – Cartilage Bronchi – Cartilage Bronchioles Alveoli Capillaries Functions?

13
Artery from the heart Vein going to heart bronchiole alveoli capillary air space
14
Alveoli CO 2 O2O2 CO 2 -rich, O 2 -poor blood O 2 -rich, CO 2 -poor blood Exhaled air Inhaled air Air spaces Alveolar capillaries Tissue capillaries Tissue cells throughout body Heart CO 2 O2O2 O2O2 O2O2 Gases are exchanged in the alveoli and the tissue cells
16
Lung Diaphragm contracts (moves down) Diaphragm Inhalation Air inhaled Rib cage expands as rib muscles contract Volume in thoracic cavity goes up Pressure goes down Low pressure inside, higher outside air rushes in
17
Diaphragm relaxes (moves up) Air exhaled Rib cage gets smaller as rib muscles relax Exhalation Volume in thoracic cavity goes down Pressure goes up higher pressure inside, lower outside air rushes out
18
Fig. 22-11 How are the gases carried in the blood? Oxygen?Carbon dioxide? Most is converted into bicarbonate ions and transported in the blood plasma CO 2 + H 2 O H 2 CO 3 H + + HCO 3 -

TIDAL LUNG CAPACITY – The amount of air your lungs hold during normal breathing; the amount of air moved in and out of the body in one breath VITAL CAPACITY the amount of air exhaled in one breath; The maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after breathing in as much as possible. RESIDUAL VOLUME the amount of air left in the lungs after a deep exhalation TOTAL LUNG CAPACITY the amount of air in the lungs after a deep inhalation; The vital capacity plus the residual volume
20
Design an experiment to test this question: Is tidal lung capacity related to …….? One lab turned in for your group on an index card Front of card: Names, what did you test, data Back of card: Graph, conclusion
