  3. Respiratory System at a Glance • Functions of the Respiratory System • Inhale fresh air into lungs • Exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide • Exhale stale air

  4. Respiratory System at a Glance • Organs of the Respiratory System • Nasal cavity • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchial tubes • Lungs

  5. Respiratory System Illustrated

  6. Respiratory System Combining Forms • aer/o – air • alveol/o – alveolus; air sac • anthrac/o – coal • atel/o – incomplete • bronch/o – bronchus • bronchi/o – bronchus • bronchiol/o – bronchiole • coni/o – dust

  7. Respiratory System Combining Forms • diaphragmat/o – diaphragm • epiglott/o – epiglottis • laryng/o – larynx • lob/o – lobe • nas/o – nose • muc/o – mucus • orth/o – straight, upright • ox/o, ox/i – oxygen

  8. Respiratory System Combining Forms • pharyng/o – pharynx • pleur/o – pleura • pneum/o – lung, air • pneumon/o – lung, air • pulmon/o – lung • rhin/o – nose • sept/o – wall • sinus/o – sinus, cavity

  9. Respiratory System Combining Forms • spir/o – breathing • trache/o – trachea, windpipe • tuss/o – cough

  10. Respiratory System Suffixes • –capnia carbon dioxide • –osmia smell • –phonia voice • –plegia paralysis • –pnea breathing • –ptysis spitting • –spasm involuntary muscle contraction • –thorax chest

  11. Anatomy and Physiology • Cells of body require constant gas exchange • Delivery of oxygen • Removal of carbon dioxide • Respiratory system works in conjunction with cardiovascular system to meet this need

  12. Respiration • Must be continuous to meet cells’ needs • Subdivided into three distinct parts: • Ventilation • Inhalation • Exhalation

  13. Ventilation • Flow of air between outside environment and lungs • Inhalation • Flow of air into lungs • Brings fresh oxygen into air sacs • Exhalation • Flow of air out of lungs • Removes carbon dioxide from body

  14. External Respiration • Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in lungs • Gases diffuse in opposite directions • Oxygen • Leaves air sacs and enters blood stream • Carbon dioxide • Leaves blood stream and enters air sacs

  15. Internal Respiration • Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange at cellular level • Oxygen • Leaves bloodstream and is delivered to tissue • Used immediately for metabolism • Carbon dioxide • Waste product of metabolism • Leaves tissue and enters bloodstream

  16. Respiratory System Organs • Nasal cavity • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchial tubes • Lungs

  18. Nasal Cavity • Air enters through nares • Nasal cavity divided by nasal septum • Palate in roof of mouth separates nasal cavity above from mouth below

  19. Nasal Cavity • Cilia • Small hairs line opening to nasal cavity • Filter out large dirt particles before they can enter lungs • Walls of nasal cavity and nasal septum • Made of flexible cartilage • Covered with mucous membrane

  20. Nasal Cavity • Much of respiratory tract is coved with mucous membrane • Mucus is thick and sticky secretion of membrane • Cleanses air by trapping dust and bacteria • Capillaries in mucous membranes • Warm air • Humidify air

  21. Nasal Cavity • Paranasal sinuses • Located within facial bones • Echo chamber for sound production • Gives resonance to voice

  22. Figure 7.1Sagittal section of upper respiratory system illustrating the internal anatomy of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.

  23. Pharynx • Commonly called throat • Used by respiratory and digestive systems • At end of pharynx • Air enters trachea • Food and liquids enter esophagus

  24. Three Subdivisions of Pharynx • Nasopharynx • Upper section by nasal cavity • Oropharynx • Middle section by oral cavity • Laryngopharynx • Lower section by larynx

  25. Tonsils • Lymphatic tissue • Removes pathogens in air and food • Three pairs • Adenoids • Palatine • Lingual

  26. Eustachian or Auditory Tube • Opening found in nasopharynx • Other end opens into middle ear • Tube opens with each swallow • Equalizes air pressure between middle ear and outside atmosphere

  27. Figure 7.1Sagittal section of upper respiratory system illustrating the internal anatomy of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.

  28. Larynx • Commonly called voice box • Muscular tube between pharynx and trachea • Contains vocal cords

  29. Larynx • Walls of larynx • Composed of cartilage plates • Held in place by ligaments and muscles • Thyroid cartilage forms the Adam’s apple

  30. Vocal Cords • Folds of membranous tissue • Not actually cord-like in structure • Vibrate to produce sound as air passes through opening between folds • Called glottis

  31. Figure 7.2The vocal cords within the larynx, superior view from the pharynx.(CNRI/Photo Researchers, Inc.)

  32. Epiglottis • Flap of cartilage • Sits above glottis • Covers larynx and trachea during swallowing • Food goes into esophagus • Not into trachea

  33. Figure 7.1Sagittal section of upper respiratory system illustrating the internal anatomy of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.

  34. Trachea • Commonly called windpipe • Carries air from larynx to main bronchi • Approximately four inches in length

  35. Figure 7.3Structure of the trachea which extends from the larynx above to the main bronchi below.

  36. Trachea • Tube composed of: • Smooth muscle • Cartilage rings • Lined with mucous membrane and cilia • Assists in cleansing, warming, and moisturizing air as it travels to lungs

  37. Bronchial Tubes • Distal end of trachea divides • Forms left and right main or primary bronchi • Each bronchus enters a lung • Branches to form secondary and tertiary bronchi

  38. Figure 7.4The bronchial tree, note how each main bronchus enters a lung and then branches into smaller and smaller primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, and bronchioles.

  39. Alveoli Bronchi continue to branch to form narrow bronchioles Bronchiole terminates in alveoli Approximately 150 million alveoli in each lung

  40. Respiratory Membrane Pulmonary capillaries encase each alveolus Alveoli wall + capillary wall forms respiratory membrane External respiration takes place across respiratory membrane

  41. Figure 7.5A) Each bronchiole terminates in an alveolar sac, a group of alveoli. B) Alveoli encased by network capillaries, forming the respiratory membrane.

  42. Lungs • Each is total collection of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli • Two lungs • Right lung has 3 lobes • Left lung has 2 lobes • Spongy because they contain air

  43. Lungs • Apex • Pointed superior portion • Base • Broad lower area • Hilum • Entry and exit point • Bronchi, blood vessels, nerves

  44. Lungs • Protected externally by the ribs • Protected internally by double membrane called pleura

  45. Pleura • Parietal pleura • Outer membrane that lines wall of chest cavity • Visceral pleura • Inner membrane that adheres to surface of lungs

  46. Pleura • Pleura is folded to form a sac around each lung called pleural cavity • Serous fluid between two pleural layers reduces friction when two layers rub together during ventilation

  47. Figure 7.6Position of the lungs within the thoracic cavity, anterior view illustrating lung structure and their relationship to other thoracic organs.

  48. Pulmonary Function Tests • It is important to measure actual volume of air flowing in and out of lungs • Can then determine lung capacity • Respiratory therapist • Measures lung volumes • Pulmonary function tests

  49. Lung Volumes

  50. Lung Capacities
