Quiet breathing at rest. It can be diaphragmatic or costal

Boyle’s Law
the volume of a gas and pressure are inversely proportional at a given temperature (e.g., body temperature).
Intrapulmonary pressure (AP= Alveolar Pressure)
the pressure in the alveoli (also known as alveolar pressure)
Intrapleural pressure (IP)
胸膜內壓
Generally lower than the intrapulmonary and atmospheric pressures to keep the lungs inflated and allows them to adhere to the chest wall, enabling efficient breathing
Transpulmonary (transmural) pressure (TP)
TP=AP-IP
distensibility
擴張性
High & low compliance
High compliance: lungs and chest wall expand easily with each breath in, so it takes less effort to breathe.
Low compliance: they’re stiffer and it takes more effort to fill them with air.
Airway Resistance Related to
• Length
• Radius
• Cross-sectional area of the airways: Bronchodilation/Bronchoconstriction
• Density, viscosity (does not really change too much)
• Velocity 速度 of the gas
Bronchodilation
支氣管擴張
Bronchoconstriction
支氣管收縮
Elastic Recoil
彈性回縮
Fick’s Law of diffusion
The shorter the distance through which diffusion must take place, the greater the rate of diffusion
The greater the surface area across which diffusion can take place, the greater the rate of diffusion
amphiprotic
兩性的
Feature & compound of surfactant
A detergent-like mixture of phospholipids, surfactant proteins, and neutral lipids - it is amphiprotic (some of it is non-polar and another part is polar).
Function of surfactant
Decreases water cohesiveness
cohesiveness
凝聚力/表面张力
Dalton’s Law
Each gas has its own partial pressure, based upon its concentration in the solution. The sum of these is the overall pressure.
the total pressure of the air in your lungs is the sum of the pressures each of these gases would exert if they were alone.
Henry’s Law
the amount of dissolve gas in a liquid (blood) is proportional to the partial pressure above the liquid.
3 keys for gas exchange
- Partial pressure gradient (Dalton’s and Henry’s Law)
- Thickness & surface area of exchange membranes (Fick’s Law)
- Ventilation-perfusion coupling (V/Q)
Haemoglobin (Hb)
血紅蛋白
Oxyhaemoglobin
氧合血紅素
Bicarbonate ions
碳酸氫根離子
Carbaminohemoglobin
碳氨基血紅素
CO2 is carried as:
• Bicarbonate ions (70%)
• Carbaminohemoglobin (20%) - where it binds to amino groups in haemoglobin
• Dissolved in plasma (10%).
Haldane Effect
The binding or release of one oxygen molecule changes the conformation or shape of the haemoglobin molecule, making it easier for the subsequent oxygen molecules to be released.
- In the tissues:
Oxygen is released from haemoglobin → increased capacity to bind with carbon dioxide and protons (forming bicarbonate) → removes these from tissues. - In the lungs:
Oxygen binds to haemoglobin → decreased capacity to bind with carbon dioxide and protons → release to be exhaled
The Bohr effect
A lower pH (more CO2 dissolved in blood) → increase of O2 leaving from hemoglobin → promotes CO2 binding.
Nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) contains the Dorsal Respiratory Group (DRG)
孤束核(NTS) 包含背部呼吸群(DRG) - control the muscles of respiration, particularly for inspiration.
Ventral Respiratory Group contains the Pre-Botzinger Complex
腹側呼吸群包含前Botzinger 複合體 - spontaneous firing neurons自發性放電神經元 : basic pacemaker of respiratory system. Also, controls muscles for active breathing.
Functions of Pons Respiratory Centre
- fine-tunes breathing during activities such as talking, sleeping, exercise0
- integrates整合 inputs from peripheral 周圍 sensory receptors & higher brain centres
- communicate & modifies DRG & VRG neurons

運動皮質
Respiratory centres are sensitive to excitatory & inhibitory stimuli:
• Chemical factors:

• Pulmonary irritants:
• Higher brain centres:
• Chemical factors: arterial CO2, H+, O2 via central & peripheral chemoreceptors
• Inflation reflex: stretch receptors signal respiratory centres via vagal nerve afferents to end inspiration & lungs recoil
• Pulmonary irritants: mucus, dust, fumes stimulate bronchiole receptors that communicate with respiratory centres via vagal nerve afferents ⟶ Reflex constriction, cough, sneeze
• Higher brain centres: hypothalamus (emotions & pain) & motor cortex (voluntary control)

Stretch receptors
拉伸感受器
Located in the walls of the airways in the lungs, these receptors detect the degree of lung inflation.
Nerve impulses via the vagus nerve
If the lungs become over-inflated 過度充氣, the stretch receptors send inhibitory signals to the medulla → temporary halt 停止 in inspiration → Hering-Breuer reflex (discovered 1869)
