4
Ventilation System In larger organisms not every cell has access to oxygen sources so a ventilation system is needed to maintain a concentration gradient in alveoli.
5
Respiration
6
Muscles Ventilation Inspiration –
The diaphragm contracts and flattens downwards External intercostal muscles contract, pulling ribs up and out this increases the volume of the thorax Increased volume decreases the pressure of alveoli and air flow in to equalize pressure Forced inspiration: accessory neck muscles contract to increase volume
7
Expiration - Passive Diaphragm relaxes and curves upward.
External intercostal muscles relax, allowing ribs to fall and decreasing the volume of the thorax This increases the pressure in the alveoli pushing air out of the lungs. During forced expiration (exercise) internal intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles contract for force exhalation.

10
Gas Exchange - Diffusion of gases; process of swapping one gas for another. O2 & CO2 Alveoli – O2 diffuses into the blood from the alveoli and CO2 diffuses from the blood to the alveoli Tissues – O2 diffuses from blood into the cells and CO2 diffuses from cells to the blood.

Pneumocytes Type I Type II Extremely attenuated (25nm)
Cover 97% of alveolar surface Organelles gathered near the nucleus Vesicles to clear contaminates Cuboidal in shape 60% of total cells, but <5% of surface area Production and secretion of surfactant Act as alveolar stem cells
12
Increasing Diffusion
Exchange occurs over the body surface or respiratory surface. Diffusion requirements: Large SA:V in-foldings (lungs or gills) Permeable Thin efficient up to 1mm thickness Moist O2 and CO2 diffuse in solution Transport system maintain a concentration gradient art..com
