The Respiratory System
Part Two
Breathing
Respiration Center - Brain
• Medulla oblongata– (can’t control
with our will)– Stimulates of diaphragm
and (rib) muscles for
• Stretch receptors– Receptors that for
the nervous which give on
mechanical pressure or – stretch receptors in alveoli limit
depth to over inflation by expiration
Pressure
• air moves in or out of lungs to
pressure with atmosphere– air moves from
area of pressure to area of pressure
• an expanded volume will lower the pressure and allow air to into the lungs through the
passages• Upon inspiration, the
pressure in the alveoli is on the order of 2-3 mmHg below the atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg
• The relaxing of the diaphragm reduces the volume and
the pressure, allowing air to flow out of lungs• provides a
pressure some 3 mmHg above atmospheric pressure to accomplish expiration.
Inspiration/Expiration
Inspiration/Expiration
Inspiration1. Diaphragm and the
dome shape changes to a flat shape
2. External muscles contract and ribs
3. Volume of cavity increases
4. Pressure inside thoracic cavity
Expiration1. Diaphragm and
returned to its natural
shape2. External
muscles relax3. Volume of
cavity decreases4. Pressure inside thoracic
cavity
External Respiration
Gas exchange between the air and lungs
Red Blood Cells
• In each red blood cell, there are approximately hemoglobin
• Each hemoglobin molecule binds to oxygen
• Researchers believe that each molecule also binds 4 carbon dioxide molecules (not confirmed)
External• In lungs, O2 from air diffuses into and
CO2 from blood diffuses into air within – i.e. O2 diffuses down into
blood, while CO2 diffuses into air
Oxygen
• 1.5% of oxygen is as
gas• 98.5% binds to
hemglobin (Hb) at the and is
transported as HbO2 or
O2 + Hb → HbO2
Carbon Dioxide
• Leaves the red blood cell and out into the alveolar air– Leaves as:
• Dissolved gas• Dissociated from
• Broken down from
CO2(g) + H2O(l) H2CO3(aq) HCO3–(aq) + H+(aq)
Internal Respiration
Gas exchange between the blood and body cells
Internal
• In tissues, from blood diffuses into tissues and from tissues into
Oxygen
• Oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule due to temperature and differences
• Oxygen is now free to the concentration gradient and diffuse out of the and into the tissue
• hemoglobin molecule will bind H+ to become
concentration
Carbon Dioxide• 7% dissolves in
and is as solution
• 23% diffuses into , binds to hemoglobin, and is as
(HbCO2)
CO2 + Hb → HbCO2
• 70% diffuses in RBC and is to HCO3– and H+ by
CO2(g) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) → HCO3–(aq) + H+(aq)
– HCO3 (bicarbonate ions) move out from RBC and is transported via plasma– H+ combines with to form reduced (HHb)
• H+ + Hb → HHb• Therefore, HCO3
– and Hb act as to help maintain in blood
Regulating Breathing RateBreathing rate and depth to maintain O2 and CO2 levels in blood, which are by in the medulla oblongata and and bodies (found in the carotid and aortic arteries)
• Medulla Oblongata– detects H+ concentration
(decreasing pH) caused by increased CO2 in blood
– causes to contract
• Carotid and Aortic Bodies– detect O2 in blood causing to
contract
By end of this section you should be able to:
• identify and give functions for each of the following:– nasal cavity– pharynx– larynx– trachea– bronchi– bronchioles– alveoli– diaphragm and ribs– pleural membranes– thoracic cavity
• explain the roles of cilia and mucus in the respiratory tract• explain the relationship between the structure and function of
alveoli
• describe the interactions of the following structures in the breathing process:– respiratory centre in the medulla oblongata– lungs– pleural membranes– diaphragm– intercostal (rib) muscles– stretch receptors
• compare the processes of inhalation and exhalation• explain the roles of carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions in stimulating
the respiratory centre in the medulla oblongata• explain the roles of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ions in
stimulating carotid and aortic bodies
• describe the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during internal and external respiration, including
– location of exchange – conditions that favour exchange (e.g., pH, temperature)
• explain the roles of oxyhemoglobin, carbaminohemoglobin, reduced hemoglobin, bicarbonate ions, and carbonic anhydrase in the transport of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood
• write the chemical equations for internal and external respiration
