Respiratory System
Respiratory System
• Primary Function
– Gas Exchange
• Secondary Functions
– Speech
– pH regulation of internal environment

• Structure of Lungs
–
• Structure of Lungs
– Alveoli
– Bronchi and Bronchioles
– Reticular CT with lots of elastic fibers
– Blood vessels and nerves
• Pleural Cavities
• Pleural membranes
– Visceral pleura
– Parietal pleura
• Pulmonary Ventilation
– Movement of air into and out of the alveoli
• Pulmonary ventilation can be explained by:
1. Boyle’s law: P ~ 1/V2. And the basic concept
that a given volume of air will move from a region of high air pressure into a region of low air pressure
• Ventilation Steps
– Inspiration (quiet or forced)
– Expiration (quiet or forced)
–Muscles of quiet inspiration
•Diaphragm
•External intercostals
• Why does air enter the lungs when these muscles contract?
–Muscles of forced inspiration
–Pect. Minor
– Serratus anterior
– Sternocleidomastoid
–Muscles of quiet expiration
•None!
–Muscles of forced expiration
–Internal intercostals
–Abdominal muscles
