4. Nasal bones Frontal and nasal bones for the nasal bridge and processes of the maxillae make up the lateral walls.
Nasal septum divides the nasal cavity into right and left halves formed by vomer and perpendicular plate of the ethmoid 4
5. Uvula During swallowing, the soft palate elevates and the uvula closes off the internal nares, preventing food or fluids from entering the nasal cavity. 5
6. 6 Nasal Cavity
7. 7 Nasal Cavity
8. 8 Nasal Cavity The nasal epithelium covering the conchae serves to cleanse, warm and humidify the air
Nasal conchae increase the surface areas for the mucus epithelium
The olfactory epithelium in the upper medial part of the nasal cavity is involved in the sense of smell.
The nasal cavity serves as a resonating chamber as well as an avenue for escaping air.
9. 9 Nasal Turbinates or Conchae Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells pushes trapped dust toward the back of the throat to be swallowed.

Anatomically divided into 3 sections:
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx

27. 27 Lungs
28. 28 Lungs: Medial View
29. 29 Lung Lobes
30. 30 Pleura Pleura is the double-layered sac of serous membrane
Parietal Pleura is the outer layer and is attached to the thoracic walls
Visceral Pleura is the inner layer covering the lung tissue
The layers are only touching, they are not fused together
The potential space is called the pleural cavity
There is serous fluid between the layers which allows them to slide against each other during breathing
31. 31
32. 32 Mediastinum The area between the lungs.
Posterior to the sternum
Anterior to the vertebrae
Contains the heart, great vessels, esophagus and thymus
33. 33 Trachea Histology Composed of three layers
Mucosa: made up of goblet cells and ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Submucosa: connective tissue deep to the mucosa
Adventitia: outermost layer, has C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage

39. 39 Bronchi Bronchioles Tissue walls of bronchi mimic that of the trachea
As conducting tubes become smaller, structural changes occur and eventually they become bronchioles
Cartilage support structures change
Bronchioles differ from bronchi in that they lack cartilage
Epithelium types change
Amount of smooth muscle increases

50. 50 Lab Exercise 25 Respiratory System Physiology
51. 51 Terminology Pulmonary Ventilation: aka breathing, is the movement of air into and out of the lungs
External Respiration: The gas exchange between the blood and alveoli (Partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli is greater than in the blood)
Transport of gases: which is how oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood between the lungs and all tissues
Internal Respiration: Exchange of gases between systemic blood and tissue cells (pressures are opposite from external respiration)
52. Daltons law The total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the partial pressures of all the individual gases in the compound
During respiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide will move along a pressure gradient from high conc. To low conc. 52
53. 53 Gas Exchange Almost all oxygen (98%) is transported by binding to hemoglobin in RBCs.
The remainder simply dissolves in the blood plasma.
Most carbon dioxide (68% to 78%) diffuses into RBCs where it is converted to carbonic acid (H2CO3)
Carbonic acid quickly dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions
54. 54 Acid Base Balance in Blood In the RBC and minimally in the plasma, this reaction takes place
CO2 + H2O ?? H2CO3 ?? HCO3- + H+
The bicarbonate ions (HCO3- ) help buffer the blood by combining with extra H+ in the blood.
Carbonic acid (H2CO3) releases H+ when the blood becomes too basic.
This way, the balance of H+ remains steady and the pH is doesnt fluctuate.
55. 55 Carbonic Acid Buffer System:Dealing with Acids CO2 + H2O ?? H2CO3 ?? HCO3- + H+
(Add an acid) + H+
The H+ will combine with HCO3- to create H2CO3
H2CO3 will then dissociate into CO2 + H2O
Breathing will increase to rid the body of the extra CO2
56. 56 Carbonic Acid Buffer System:Dealing with Bases CO2 + H2O ?? H2CO3 ?? HCO3- + H+
(Add a base) + OH-
The OH- will combine with H+ to create H2O
H2CO3 will dissociate into HCO3- + H+ to restore the H+ concentration
57. 57
58. Boyles Law The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
If the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, the air pressure in the airways decreases 58
59. Pulmonary Ventilation During inspiration, the ribs are elevated and the sternum moves outward.
During expiration, the ribs are depressed and the sternum moves inward.
The diaphragm is the primary inspiratory muscle 59
60. 60 Inspiration/Expiration Inspiration: Increase in thoracic cavity size
Inspiratory muscles
External intercostals (lift the rib cage)
Diaphragm (Becomes flat)
Expiration :Decrease in thoracic cavity size
Expiratory muscles
For the most part it is just the relaxation of the inspiratory muscles (passive process)
Internal intercostals & abdominal muscles used only for forced expiration
61. 61 Muscles of Respiration
62. 62 Muscles: Inspiration
63. 63 Muscles: Expiration
64. 64 Spirometry Diagnostic technique used to measure respiratory volumes
The instrument used is a spirometer.
It cannot measure the amount of air in the lung, only the amount entering or leaving.
65. 65 Respiratory Volumes Tidal Volume TV
Volume of air moved in or out of the lungs during quiet breathing about 500 mL.
Inspiratory Reserve Volume IRV
Volume that can be inhaled during forced breathing in addition to tidal volume 3100mL.
Expiratory Reserve Volume ERV
Volume that can be exhaled during forced breathing after a normal tidal volume 1200 mL.
66. 66 Respiratory Volumes
Residual Volume RV
* Can not be measured using spirometry*
Volume that remains in the lungs at all times 1200 mL.
The sum of two or more of these volumes is known as a pulmonary capacity. The five pulmonary capacities are as follows:
67. 67 Respiratory Capacity Vital Capacity VC
Maximum volume that can be exhaled after taking the deepest breath possible
VC = TV + IRV + ERV
Inspiratory Capacity IC
Maximum volume that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation
IC = TV + IRV
68. 68 Respiratory Capacity Functional Residual Capacity FRC
The amount of air left in the lungs after a normal exhalation
FRC = ERV + RV
Total Lung Capacity TLC
* can not be measured using spirometry*
Total volume of air that the lungs can hold.
TLC = VC + RV

70. Depth and Rate of Ventilation Eupnea- normal respiratory rhythm
Hypoventilation- caused by breathing either too shallowly or too slowly
CO2 levels increase and pH lowers.
Hyperventilation- a person over ventilates eliminates carbon dioxide faster than it is being produced causing the pH to increase. 70
71. Activity 25.2 Expiratory capacity is equal to the sum of the tidal volume (TV) and expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
Is the maximum volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal inhalation.
Practice taking expiratory EC, ERV, TV and VC
Do Activity 25.3: calculate volumes and capacities follow instructions in manual 71
