Structural Plan
• Basic plan of respiratory system would
be similar to an inverted tree if it were
hollow; leaves of the tree would be
comparable to alveoli, with the
microscopic sacs enclosed by networks
of capillaries
• Diffusion is the mode for gas exchange
that occurs in the respiratory mechanism

Respiratory Mucosa
• Mucous membrane that lines the air distribution tubes in the respiratory tree
• More than 125 mL of mucus produced each day forms a ―mucus blanket‖ over much of the respiratory mucosa
• Mucus serves as an air purification mechanism by trapping inspired irritants such as dust, pollen
• Cilia on mucosal cells beat in only one direction, moving mucus upward to pharynx for removal

sacs, whose walls are made of alveoli

• Atelectasis—incomplete expansion or
collapse of lung (alveoli); can be caused by:
– Pneumothorax—presence of air in the pleural space
– Hemothorax—presence of blood in the pleural space

Respiration
• Mechanics of breathing
– Pulmonary ventilation includes two phases called inspiration (movement of air into lungs) and expiration (movement of air out of lungs)
– Changes in size and shape of thorax cause changes in air pressure within that cavity and in the lungs because as volume changes, pressure changes in the opposite direction
– Air moves into or out of lungs because of pressure differences (pressure gradient); air moves from high air pressure toward low air pressure

Respiration
• Inspiration
– Active process—muscles increase volume of thorax, decreasing lung pressure, which causes air to move from atmosphere into lungs (down the pressure gradient)
– Inspiratory muscles include diaphragm and external intercostals
• Diaphragm flattens during inspiration—increases top-to-bottom length of thorax
• External intercostals—contraction elevates the ribs and increases the size of the thorax from front to back and from side to side
![Page 40: Chapter 16 The Respiratory System - All Saints Middle ... · Mosby items and derived items © 2010, 2006, 2002, 1997, 1992 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Chapter 16](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062402/5b070d537f8b9ac33f8db2dc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Respiration
• Expiration
– Reduction in the size of the thoracic cavity
decreases its volume and thus increases its
pressure, so air moves down the pressure
gradient and leaves the lungs
– Quiet expiration ordinarily a passive process
– During expiration, thorax returns to its resting
size and shape
– Elastic recoil of lung tissues aids in expiration

Respiration
• Expiration
– Internal intercostals and abdominal muscles— expiratory muscles used in forceful expiration
• Internal intercostals—contraction depresses the rib cage and decreases the size of the thorax from front to back
• Abdominal muscles—contraction elevates the diaphragm, thus decreasing size of the thoracic cavity from top to bottom

Respiration
• Exchange of gases in lungs – Carbaminohemoglobin breaks down into carbon
dioxide and hemoglobin
– Carbon dioxide moves out of lung capillary blood into
alveolar air and out of body in expired air
– Oxygen moves from alveoli into lung capillaries
– Hemoglobin combines with oxygen, producing
oxyhemoglobin

Regulation of Respiration
• Regulation of respiration permits the body to
adjust to varying demands for oxygen supply
and carbon dioxide removal
• Central regulatory centers in the brainstem
are called respiratory control centers
(inspiratory and expiratory centers)
– Medullary centers—under resting conditions these
centers in the medulla produce a normal rate and
depth of respirations (12 to 18 per minute)
![Page 50: Chapter 16 The Respiratory System - All Saints Middle ... · Mosby items and derived items © 2010, 2006, 2002, 1997, 1992 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Chapter 16](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062402/5b070d537f8b9ac33f8db2dc/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Regulation of Respiration
• Central regulatory centers
– Pontine centers—as conditions in the body
vary, these centers in the pons can alter
the activity of the medullary centers, thus
adjusting breathing rhythm
– Brainstem centers are influenced by
information from sensory receptors located
in other body areas

control of respiratory activity

the stretch in lungs, thus protecting
respiratory organs from overinflation
