Lecture 13- Respiratory Flashcards
is the process of obtaining oxygen from the external environment and eliminating carbon dioxide
respiration
oxidative processes
within cells
cellular respiration
exchange of O2 and CO2 between the organism and its environment
External respiration
Gases ___ ___pressure gradients in the lungs and other organs
diffuse down
Gases diffuse down as a result of differences in___ ____
Partial pressure
is the pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture of gases
Partial pressure
Components of gas-transfer system
- Breathing movements
- DIffusion of O and CO2 across the respiratory equilibrium
- Bulk transfer of gases by the blood
- Diffusion of O and CO2 across capillary walls
Conditions of gas-exchange regions for diffusion to be effective
- Moist
- Thin
- Relatively large
- In contact with teh environment
Enhances the effectiveness of diffusion
Vascularization
source of O2 or respiratory medium for animal
Air or water
Types of breathing
- Unidirectional
- Bidirectional or tidal
- in most fish gills
- continuous ventilation
- water enters the buccal cavity through the mouth, passes across the gill curtain and exits flowing in one direction
Unidirectional
– in lung ventilation
- with air entering and exiting through the same channel
- ventilation is not continuous
Bidirectional or tidal
Patterns of gas exchange
- Crosscurrent flow
- Uniform pool
- airflow and blood flow cross each other obliquely
- avian lungs
crosscurrent flow
lung ventilation keep the partial pressure of gases within the alveolar spaces uniform through frequent breathing, mixing gases, and absence of significant
barriers to diffusion
Uniform pool
in crosscurrent flow, airflow and bloodflow cross each other _____
obliquely
in uniform pool, where do lung ventilation keeps the partial pressure of gases?
Alveolar spaces
What are some respiratory organs
- Gills or branchia
- Lungs
A series of bones in bony fish and chimaeras
- protects the gills, provides facial support, and is used for respiration and feeding
Operculum
exchange of substance between two fluids in opposite directions
Countercurrent flow/exchange
system of branching ducts conveys air
to the lungs
Respiratory system
hair-like projections
- line the primary bronchus to remove microbes and debris form interior of the lungs
Cilia
alternating inhalation and exhalation or air; ventilates the lungs
Breathing
A frog ventilates its lungs by ___ ___ ___
Positive pressure breathing
what does positive pressure breathing do?
forces air down the trachea
How do mammals ventilate their lungs
Negative pressure breathing
How does air get to alveoli
Trachea –>Primary bronchi (left, right) –> Secondary bronchi (each
lobe) –> Tertiary bronchi –> bronchioles –>Alveoli
envelope the lungs
Pleural cavities
carries O2 blood from
each lung to heart
2 pulmonary veins
carries dO2 blood to
each lung
1 pulmonary artery
The primary muscle of respirations
Diaphragm
Function of Diaphragm for Constraction during inspiration
- Increases volume of thoracic cavity
- Decreases pressure of thoracic cavity
- Air moves into lungs (high -> low
presssure)
Diaphragm function during forced contraction (voluntary)
Used for defecation, urination and labor
How does Diaphragm works for defecation, urination and labor
- Increases pressure in abdominal cavity
- Pushes on abdominal organs to move contents out
Lift ribs to expand chest cavity for inspiration
Intercostal muscles
no blind ended alveoli in and out of which air moves
Avian lungs
voluminous, thin walled diverticula of the lungs which penetrate the centra (pneumatic foramina) except in ratites
Air sacs
___ of the lungs extensively distributed throughout of the body
Diverticula
Where do gas transfer in birds takes place?
Small air capillaries
have the most efficient
vertebrate lungs
Birds
In bird respiratory system; ____ ____ allow oxygen-rich air to pass ____ ____ on both inhalation and
exhalation
Air sacs
Respiratory surfaces
Control of breathing can be:
- Chemical
- Nervous
Chemical control of breathing is dependent to
- Blood CO2 levels
- pH
- Chemoreceptors
Control of breathing; Chemoreceptors
Central : Monitors CSF
Peripheral: Caraotid and aoritic bodies
Nervous control of breathing can be..
- Voluntary
- Involuntary
Voluntary control of breathing
◦ Cerebral cortex
◦ Protective in nature
◦ Limited control
Involuntary control of breathing
- Medullary rhytmicity area
- Pons
Maintains basic rhythm of respiration
Medullary rhythmicity area
Coordinates transition between inspiration and expiration
Pons
Control of Breathing in Humans; when the control center registers a slight drop in pH, it ….
- Increases the depth and rate of breathing
- Excess CO2 is eliminated in exhaled air
Facilitates inspiration and helps control depth of inspiration
Apneustic center
Helps control rate of respiration
Pneumataxic center
