Respiration - process of gas exchange
1. Movement of air into lungs2. Gas exchange between blood and air (external respiration)3. Gas transport in blood4. Gas exchange between blood and body cells (internal respiration)
*Cellular Respiration - oxygen use and CO2 production at a cellular level

Larynx – enlargement at the top of the trachea and below pharynx, conducts air in and out of trachea, houses vocal cords - composed of a framework of muscles and cartilages (thyroid (Adam’s apple), cricoids, epiglottic cartilages)
![Page 22: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS Exchange gases (oxygen and CO2) Takes up oxygen from air and supplies it to blood (for cellular respiration)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cf85503460f949c88a0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Epiglottis
• Oropharynx and laryngopharynx serve as a common passageway for both food and air
• Epiglottis acts as a lid or flap that covers the larynx and trachea (airway) so food does not enter the lungs.
![Page 23: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS Exchange gases (oxygen and CO2) Takes up oxygen from air and supplies it to blood (for cellular respiration)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cf85503460f949c88a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Glottis
- false vocal folds (do not produce sound) – help close airway during swallowing - true vocal folds (produce sound) – changing shape of the pharynx, and oral cavity changes sounds into words - contracting and relaxing muscles changes pitch (increased tension = higher pitch)
![Page 24: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS Exchange gases (oxygen and CO2) Takes up oxygen from air and supplies it to blood (for cellular respiration)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cf85503460f949c88a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Pleura
• each lung enclosed in pleura
• parietal pleura (inner)
• visceral pleura (outer)
• pleural space or pleural cavity
• lubricating fluid

Diaphragm
• muscle separating chest and abdomen
• inspiration, diaphragm contracts and increases thoracic space– air flows in
• expiration, diaphragm relaxes and decreases thoracic space– air flows out
• phrenic nerve

Respiration
• external respiration - exchange of gases in lungs
• internal respiration - exchange of gases within cells of the body organs and tissues
• ventilation - movement of air
![Page 43: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS Exchange gases (oxygen and CO2) Takes up oxygen from air and supplies it to blood (for cellular respiration)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cf85503460f949c88a0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
1. Diaphragm moves down, forcing air into airways2. Intercostals contract, enlarging cavity even more3. Membranes move with the contractions4. Surface tension in alveoli and surfactant keep them from collapsing5. Other muscles (pectoralis minor and sternocleidomastoid) can force a deeper breath6. The first breath in newborns is the hardest due to lack of surfactant
![Page 44: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS Exchange gases (oxygen and CO2) Takes up oxygen from air and supplies it to blood (for cellular respiration)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cf85503460f949c88a0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE = 760 Hg
Pressure is necessary for breathing, which is why it is difficult to breathe in high altitudes and also why a punctured lung can be dangerous.
A hole in the pleural cavity can cause the lung to collapse or deflate
Pneumothorax = collapsed lung: See Video

Respiratory Air Volumes
Spirometry - measures the amount (volume) of air moving in and out of the lungs
Respiratory Cycle - 1 inspiration and 1 expiration
![Page 51: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS Exchange gases (oxygen and CO2) Takes up oxygen from air and supplies it to blood (for cellular respiration)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cf85503460f949c88a0/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Resting Tidal Volume - amount of air that enters the lungs during one cycle
*take a normal breath
Reserve volumes - air that can be forced out or in
*inhale normally, pause, and try to inhale more - that is your reserve inspiratory volume *exhale, then exhale a little more

Factors Affecting Breathing
*Chemosensitive areas – detect concentrations of chemicals like carbon dioxide and hydrogen
1. Rise in CO2 2. Low blood oxygen (peripheral chemoreceptors, carotid and aortic bodies, sense changes)3. Inflation reflex – regulates the depth of breathing, prevents overinflation of the lungs4. Emotional upset, fear and pain

Respiratory Membrane – alveoli and blood stream exchange gasses
Gas exchange occurs across a membrane - a layer of simple squamous cells
Oxygen DIFFUSES into the bloodstream
Other substances (like alcohol can diffuse too)

Hypoxia is a disease in which there is an overall lack of oxygen content within the body's tissue and vital human organs (specifically the brain).
Hypoxia has several potential causes, including: cardiac arrest, severe head trauma, carbon monoxide poisoning, suffocation, strangulation, and choking, as well as any instance in which oxygen supply is deprived from the body.
Asphyxia is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally.
An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs.

Lung Cancer
Lung cancer starts when abnormal cells grow out of control in the lungs. Lung cancer and smoking often, but not always, go hand in hand. There usually are no signs or early symptoms of lung cancer. As lung cancer stages advance, lung cancer symptoms may include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and bloody mucus. Treatment for lung cancer can include surgery, chemotherapy, and /or radiation.

ALTITUDE SICKNESS
Acute mountain sickness is brought on by the combination of reduced air pressure and lower oxygen concentration that occur at high altitudes. Symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening, and can affect the nervous system, lungs, muscles, and heart. Pulmonary edema is an abnormal build up of fluid in the air sacs of the lungs, which leads to shortness of breath
