9. Functions and Overview of Respiration  Respiration is the sequence of events that results in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells  Every 3 to 5 seconds nerve impulses stimulate the breathing processes, or ventilation  The entire process of respiration includes ventilation, external respiration, transport of gases, internal respiration, and cellular respiration  Respiration is the sequence of events that results in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells  Every 3 to 5 seconds nerve impulses stimulate the breathing processes, or ventilation  The entire process of respiration includes ventilation, external respiration, transport of gases, internal respiration, and cellular respiration

10. Ventilation  Ventilation (breathing) is the movement of air through the conducting passages between the atmosphere and the lungs  Air moves through the passages because of pressure gradients that are produced by contraction of the diaphragm and thoracic muscles  Ventilation (breathing) is the movement of air through the conducting passages between the atmosphere and the lungs  Air moves through the passages because of pressure gradients that are produced by contraction of the diaphragm and thoracic muscles

11. Gas Laws and Respiration  The diffusion of gases from the alveoli to the blood (external respiration) and from the blood to the tissues (internal respiration) depends on two fundamental properties of gases which are known as Daltons law of pressures and Henry’s law  Dalton’s law of pressures  Total pressure is exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum  P gas1 + P gas2 + P gas3 + P gas4 = P total  P= Pressure  Henry’s law  When a mixture of gases is in contact with a liquid, each gas dissolves in the liquid in proportion to its own solubility and partial pressure  The diffusion of gases from the alveoli to the blood (external respiration) and from the blood to the tissues (internal respiration) depends on two fundamental properties of gases which are known as Daltons law of pressures and Henry’s law  Dalton’s law of pressures  Total pressure is exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum  P gas1 + P gas2 + P gas3 + P gas4 = P total  P= Pressure  Henry’s law  When a mixture of gases is in contact with a liquid, each gas dissolves in the liquid in proportion to its own solubility and partial pressure

12. Transport of Gases  The blood transports the respiratory gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the lungs and tissue cells  Approximately 3% of the oxygen is transported as a dissolved gas in the plasma. The remaining percent is carried by hemoglobin molecules  The blood transports the respiratory gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the lungs and tissue cells  Approximately 3% of the oxygen is transported as a dissolved gas in the plasma. The remaining percent is carried by hemoglobin molecules

13. Regulation of Respiration  The basic breathing rate is established by the respiratory center in the brain stem but environmental conditions and emotions include variations in the rate  The respiratory center includes groups of neurons in the medulla oblongata and pons  Although the respiratory center establishes the basic rhythm of breathing, it’s influenced by factors that cause variations in the rate and depth of breathing  The basic breathing rate is established by the respiratory center in the brain stem but environmental conditions and emotions include variations in the rate  The respiratory center includes groups of neurons in the medulla oblongata and pons  Although the respiratory center establishes the basic rhythm of breathing, it’s influenced by factors that cause variations in the rate and depth of breathing
