'I lived in an iron lung for seven years'By John Prestwich for CNN

CNN) -- John Prestwich was diagnosed with polio at the age of 17 in 1955, which made him paralyzed from the chin down. He has spent 50 years on an artificial ventilator, including seven in an iron lung.

Iron lungs work on negative pressure. In other words the iron lung is sealed and attached to bellows, which lower the air pressure inside the iron lung to create a negative pressure

PURPOSE OF RESPIRATION

If you were to design an efficient breathing system,

what would the requirements be?

What would a machine need to do?

• Collect new air• Get rid of old air• Hold/store air• Connect to body via transportation system

(circulatory system)

FUNCTION: move oxygen from the outside

environment into the body remove carbon dioxide from the body

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

1.External respiration

2.Internal respiration

RESPIRATIONExternal= breathing Internal

Between environment and lungs

Between blood and cell

EXTERNAL RESPIRATION

AKA- BREATHING

RESPIRATORY

TRACT

Bronchi

TRACHEA

TUBULAR PASSAGEWAY FOR AIR

Bronchioles

DIAPHRAGMDome-shaped muscle attached to rib cage that contracts& flattens out during breathing

Observe what happens to the

diaphragm.

Breathing – The Lungs

• Breathing animation video• http://teachhealthk-12.uthscsa.edu/studentresources/AnatomyofBreathing3.swf

Pay attention to the role of the ribcage and the diaphragm and how these creates a pressure difference so breathing can take place.

BREATHING

Breathing in - inhaling

• Rib cage– expands

• Diaphragm– moves downward

• Pressure– reduces inside lung

• Result – air is drawn into the lungs

Breathing out - exhaling

• Rib cage– contracts

• Diaphragm– moves upward / inward

• Pressure– increases inside lung

• Result – air is pushed out of the lung

Inhaled air

Nitrogen N2 – 79%

Oxygen O2 – 20%

CO2 – 0.04%

Others - 0.96%

Exhaled air

Nitrogen N2 – 79%

Oxygen O2 – 16%

CO2 – 4%

Others - 1%

INTERNAL RESPIRATIONAKA CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Between blood and cell

Breathing – The Alveoli

• Diffusion– The movement of gas from an area of

high concentration to an area of low concentration.

DIFFUSIONDIFFUSION

Gaseous exchange requires:

HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

• Large surface millions of alveoli

• Thin Epithelium 2-cell layer• Ventilation maintains

diffusion gradient

• Capillary network concentration gradient

favors diffusion
