Respiration Flashcards
O2 is utilised by
Co2 is released during
Breathing
Commonly known as
Is for
Organisms to indirectly break down of nutrient molecule like glucose
And derive energy
During catabolic reactions
This process of exchange of O2 from the atmosphere with CO2 produced by cells
Respiration
Energy liberation
Mechanism of breathing vary
Animals in which respiration takes place by general body surface
Mainly on their habitats and levels of organisms
Protozoa
Porifera
Coelenterates
Ctenophora
Platyhelminthis
Aschel

Earthworm Annelida
Insect ( cockroach, silkworms)
Aquatic Arthropoda
Arachnida eg spiders

Lungs
______________ opening out above upper lips
It leads to , through
Nasal chamber opens into ( character )
_________ opens into ———through larynx region
External nostrils
Leads to nasal chamber , through nasal passage
Into pharynx which is common passage for food and air
Pharynx , into the trachea
Larynx is , help , hence
Epiglottis (covered by)
Fn
Cartilaginous box , help in sound production hence called sound box
During swallowing glottis can be covered by thin elastic cartilaginous flap
Prevent entry of food into larynx
False vocal cords provide
True vocal cards helpful
Trachea is straight tube extending
Which
Moisture to true vocal cords
In phonation
Up to the mid thoracic cavity,
Divides at level of 5 th thoracic vertebra into right and left primary bronchi
Secondary, tertiary bronchi formed by
Also gets formed
——supported by
Each bronchi undergoes repeated divisions to form
Bronchioles ending up in very thin terminal bronchioles
By incomplete cartilaginous rings
Tracheae , primary,secondary,tertiary bronchi,initial bronchioles supported by
Alveoli is
What gives rise to alveoli
_______ comprise the lungs
Very thin ,irregular walled , vascularised bag like structure
Each terminal bronchiole gives rise to a no of
The branching network of bronchi , bronchioles , and alveoli
Conducting part
Fn
Exchange part / respiratory system
Presence of C shaped cartilaginous rings
Starting with external nostrils up to terminal bronchioles
Transports air to alveoli,clears it from foreign particles,brings air to body temperature
Alveoli and their ducts
From trachea to initial bronchiole
Pulmonary ventilation, alveolar ventilation reason
No of lobes in right left lung
Covered by , with
Due to anatomical dead space 150 ml , pulmonary»» alveolar
Right = 3 lobe , left = 2 lobed
Double layered pleura with pleural fluid between them
Double layered pleura fn
Outer pleural membrane contract with
Inner membrane
Pressure ( intraplural/pulmonary)
Reduce friction on the lung surface and act as shock absorbers
With the thoracic lining
With the lung’s surface
Intraplural «< pulmonary
Lungs are situated in
Anatomically
Setup is such that
Such arrangements is essentially for
Thoracic chamber
An air - tight chamber
That any change in volume of thoracic cavity will be reflected in lung ( pulmonary cavity)
For breathing, as we cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume
The thoracic chamber is formed
Dorsally
Dorsally, vertebral column
Ventrally by sternum
Laterally by ribs
On lower side by dome shaped diaphragm
Mammalian lungs are
So
Structural and Functional units of lungs
Cells
I size fn
II
Solid and spongy without muscles
Power of self contraction and self relaxation is not present
Alveoli
Two type = pneumocytes
Pneumocytes I Smaller,help in gaseous exchange
II larger , secrete phospholipid lecithin
Lecithin fn in alveoli
On the outer side of alveoli ( tissue)
Total no of alveoli +nt in both the lungs
As a surfactant reduces the surface tension of alveoli
Keep alveoli always remain open for efficient gaseous exchange
Yellow fibrous ct
Is 300 million
Exchange part is the site
Atmospheric air is drawn in and co2 alveolar air given out ( process)
________ across alveolar membrane
Transport of gases by
Of actual diffusion of O2 and CO2 b/w blood and atmospheric air
Breathing or pulmonary ventilation
Diffusion of gases ( o2 and co2 )
By blood
Diaphragm structure , separate
Muscles called
Main fn
At the time of inspiration
Muscular structure which separate thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity
Radial muscle
Principal muscle of breathing and aid in ventilation
Diaphragm contracts and becomes flattened
Inter coastal muscles
Types
Ghan average, a healthy human breathes
Time inspiration
Expiration
Space b/w two pair of ribs ( muscles)
External intercoastal muscles ( EICM)
Internal icm
12 - 16 times / minute

Inspiration in which
Expiration in which
Movement of air is carried by
Energy process inspiration
Expiration
Atmospheric air is drawn in
Alveolar air is released out
By creating a pressure gradient b/w lungs and atmosphere
Active process
Passive process
Inspiration pressure comparetion
Expiration
Inspiration is initiated by
Atmospheric pressure»_space;> intra pulmonary pressure ( negative pressure +nt in lungs )
Intra pulmonary pressure»_space;> atmospheric pressure
Contraction of diaphragm which increases volume of thoracic chamber in antero - posterior axis
