Why do we
breathe?
What is Human Respiration?
obtain oxygen,
eliminate carbon dioxide.
Inspiration
Expiration
2 Phases

The Mechanisms of Breathing
O2 enters The
diaphragm contracts or
flattens The intercostal
muscles raise the ribs
C02 exits The
diaphragm relaxes
The intercostal muscles lower
the ribs
Respiratory Cycle
Figure 10.9
Where is the respiratory center of the brain?
Medulla Oblongata
Pons
What other factor controls the
rhythm and rate of breathing?
CO2 Level in the blood
pH of the blood
Fear and Pain

alveoli
Human Respiratory System
REVIEW…STRUCTURE FUNCTION
nose / nasal cavity
warms, moistens, & filters air as it is inhaled
pharynx (throat)
passageway for air, leads to trachea
larynx the voice box, where vocal chords are located
REVIEW…STRUCTURE FUNCTION
Trachea (windpipe)
keeps the windpipe "open" and is lined with fine hairs called cilia
which filter air before it reaches the lungs
bronchi two branches at the end of the trachea, each lead to a lung
bronchioles a network of smaller branches
leading from the bronchi into the lung tissue & ultimately to air sacs
alveoli the functional respiratory units in
the lung where gases are exchanged
What are the components of upper and
lower respiratory
tract?
Checking your Understanding
Which of the following sites would be the most lethal if obstructed by a foreign body?
a. Right bronchus
b. Left bronchus
c. Trachea
ANSWER:
Respiration Includes
Pulmonary Ventilation
External Respiration
Transport of Respiratory Gases
Internal Respiration
Pulmonary Ventilation
Air moves in and out of lungs.
External Respiration
Gas exchange between blood and air at alveoli.
O2 (oxygen) in air diffuses into blood. CO2 (carbon dioxide) in blood diffuses into
air.
Brings O2 from lungs cells of the body. Takes CO2 from the cells throughout the body
and return to the lungs to be exhaled.
Transport of Respiratory Gases
Gas exchange in capillaries between blood and tissue cells.
O2 in blood diffuses into tissues. CO2 waste in tissues diffuses into blood.
Internal Respiration
Respiration Includes
Pulmonary Ventilation
External Respiration
Transport of Respiratory Gases
Internal Respiration
What is a Respiratory Volume?Different volumes of air move in and out of
lungs with different intensities of breathing.
Respiratory VolumesAmount of air that moves in or out of the lungs during a
normal breath
Amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled following a
normal inhalation
Amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled following a
normal exhalation
Tidal Volume
InspiratoryReserve Volume
ExpiratoryReserve Volume
Respiratory Volumes (cont.)
Amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after the deepest inhalation possible
Volume of air that always remains in the lungs even after a forceful exhalation
The total amount of air the lungs can hold
Residual Volume
Total LungCapacity
Vital Capacity
