| Inspiration | Diaphragm contracted, ribs and sternum raised
Increase in thoracic and pulmonary volume resulting in a decrease in intrapulmonary pressure |
| Expiration | Diaphragm relaxed and arched upwards, ribs and sternum returned to the original position
The decrease in thoracic and pulmonary volume resulting in an increase in intrapulmonary pressure |
| Tidal volume | The volume of air inspired or expired normally
500 ml |
| Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) | Additional air inspired by a forcible inspiration
2500-3000 ml Inspiratory capacity (IC) = TV+IRV |
| Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) | Additional air expired by a forcible expiration,1000 -1100 ml
Expiratory capacity (EC) = TV+ERV |
| Residual volume (RV) | Air remaining in the lungs after forcible expiration,1100 – 1200 ml
Functional residual capacity = ERV+RV |
| Vital capacity (VC) | The maximum volume of air that can be inspired or expired = ERV+TV+IRV
Total lung capacity = VC+RV |
| Oxygen transport | Formation of oxyhaemoglobin in alveoli – high pO2, low pCO2, H+ and temp
Dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin in tissues – low pO2, high pCO2, H+ and temp |
| Carbon dioxide transport | Carbamino-haemoglobin – 20-25%
Bicarbonate – 70% Dissolved in plasma – 7% |
| Neural regulation of respiration | Rhythm centre – medulla region
Pneumotaxic centre – pons region |
| Chemical control of respiration | Chemosensitive area in medulla oblongata – sensitive to CO2 and H+ conc.
Receptors in the aortic arch and carotid artery – sense changes in CO2 and H+ conc. |
| Emphysema | Due to damage in alveolar walls |
| Alveoli | Thin squamous epithelium of pneumocyte cells
Type I – smaller and help in gaseous exchange Type II – larger and secrete lecithin, which acts as a surfactant and decreases surface tension |
| Diffusion membrane | Alveolar thin squamous epithelium
Middle basement membrane Endothelium of blood capillaries |
