Breathing and Exchange of Gases
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
