Inspiratory controls
- Chemoreceptors
- Thermoreceptors
- Proprioreceptors
- SCM/Scaleness
- Phrenic nerve
- Diaphragm
- External inter controls
Expiritory
- Baroreceptors
- Internal intercostals
- Intercostal nerve
Haemoglobin
- Protein
- 4 O2 molecules at a time
- High PO2 associates with O2
- Creates oxyhemoglobin
- Low PO2 disassociates with O2
Saturation
Maximum amount
Association/Dissociation
Association: Haemoglobin gains O2
Disassociation: Oxyhemoglobin gives away O2
Alveoli
Why is if good for gaseous exchange?
- One cell thick - fast diffusion pathway
- Blood supply from capillaries - maintains steep diffusion pathway = more diffusion
- Large SA - increased diffusion
Gaseous exchange
Movement of gases across membrane - diffusion
Diffusion
Movement of substance - area of high to low concentration
Diffusion gradient
Difference in concentration between the high area and the low area
Slow oxidative fibres (Type 1)
- Produce low force/high resistance to fatigue
- Contain myoglobin/mitrochondria
- Aerobic
Fast oxidative glycolytic (Type 2)
- Produce midforce/mid-resistance to fatigue
Fast glycolytic (Type 2b)
- Produce high force/low resistance to fatigue
- Contains phosphocreatine
- Anaerobic
Internal respiration
Between blood and muscles:
O2 - given the muscles via blood
CO2 - taken away from muscles by diffusion (high PO2)
External respiration
Between blood/lungs (alveoli):
Deoxygenated blood from muscles - taken to the lungs to become oxygenated by diffusion (low PO2)
Vasomotor Control Center (VVC) during exercise
- In muscle cells, sympathetic stimulation - decreased
- Arterioles and pre-capillaries sphincters dilate (increasing blood flow to the muscles)
MUSCLES - LOTS OF BLOOD - Leading to organs, sympathetic stimulation - increased
- Arterioles/pre-capillary sphincters constrict
(decreases blood flow to the organs)
ORGANS - LACK BLOOD
Vasomotor Control Center (VVC) during recovery
- In muscle cells, sympathetic stimulation - increased
- Arterioles/pre-capillaries sphincters constrict (decreasing blood flow to muscles)
MUSCLES - LACK BLOOD - Leading to organs, sympathetic stimulation - decreased
- Arterioles/pre-capillary sphincters dilate
(increases blood flow to the organs)
ORGANS - LOTS OF BLOOD
Respiratory control center (RCC)
- Centre receives information from neurons
- Sends direction to change rate of respiratory muscle contraction
Inspiratory control/Expiritory control
IC
- Control centre within RRC
- Stimulates respiratory muscles to control/rest (during exercise and at rest)
EC
- Control centre within RRC
- It is inactive at rest but stimulate additional muscles to work during exercise
Diffusion of O2
Internal diffusion of O2:
- PO2 is of O2 high in capillaries
- PO2 in muscles is low
- O2 diffuses across capillary membrane down gradient
External diffusion of O2:
- PO2 of O2 is low in capillaries
- PO2 in alveoli is high
- O2 moves by gaseous exchange from alveoli to the blood down diffusion gradient
Diffusion of CO2
Internal diffusion of CO2:
- PO2 of CO2 is low in capillaries
- PO2 in the muscles is high
- The CO2 diffuses across capillary membrane down diffusion gradient
External diffusion of O2:
- High PO2 of CO2 blood returning from muscles
- Alveoli has low PO2 of CO2
- CO2 diffuses across capillary membrane into alveoli and it breathed out lungs
Breathing rate
Number of breaths per minute
Tidal volume
Volume of air in and out a normal breath
Minute ventilation
Volume of gas in and out in one minute
Breathing values calculation
Minute Ventilation (VE) = Tidal Volume (TV) x Breathing Rate (F)
