Part 1 Structure and Function of the Respiratory System
When you can not breath, nothing else matters
Slogan of the American Lung Association
3
Respiration is the process by which the body takes in and utilizes oxygen (O2) and gets rid of carbon dioxide (CO2).
4
An Overview of Key Steps in Respiration
5
Respiration can be divided into four major functional events
• Ventilation: Movement of air into and out of
lungs
• Gas exchange between air in lungs and blood
• Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the
blood
• Internal respiration: Gas exchange between
the blood and tissues
6
Respiratory System Functions • Gas exchange: Oxygen enters blood and carbon dioxide leaves• Regulation of blood pH: Altered by changing blood carbon dio
xide levels• Voice production: Movement of air past vocal folds makes sou
nd and speech• Olfaction: Smell occurs when airborne molecules drawn into na
sal cavity• Protection: Against microorganisms by preventing entry and re
moving them• Metabolism: Synthesize and metabolize different compounds

Section I ANATOMY OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT
8
Respiratory System Divisions
• Upper Airway– Nose, pharynx,
larynx and associated structures
• Lower Airway– trachea, bronchi,
lungs
9
Conducting Zone
• All the structures air passes through before reaching the respiratory zone.
• Cartilage holds tube system open and smooth muscle controls tube diameter
• Warms and humidifies inspired air.
• Filters and cleans:

Respiratory Zone
• Region of gas exchange between air and blood.
• Includes respiratory bronchioles and alveolar sacs.

Section II BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE LUNG
• Two separate blood supplies: pulmonary circulation and bronchial circulation• Pulmonary circulation• Bronchial circulation
13
Pulmonary circulation
• Brings deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the gas-exchange units
• At the gas-exchanging units, oxygen is picked up and carbon dioxide is removed from the blood
• The oxygenated blood returned to the left atrium for distribution to the rest of the body
14
Bronchial circulation• Arise from the aorta
• Provides nourishments to the lung parenchyma (肺实质)
15
Section III MUSCLES OF RESPIRATION • Inspiratory muscle:
• Diaphragm and Abdominal breathing (腹式呼吸)
• external intercostal muscle and thoracic breathing (胸式呼吸)
• accessory muscle of inspiration
• Expiratory muscle• relax during normal breathing
• Internal intercostal muscle
• Muscles of the abdominal wall
16
Thoracic Walls and Muscles of Respiration
17
Breathing Rate
• At rest: 10-20 breaths / minute
• During exercise: 40 - 45 at maximum exercise in adults

Pleura
21
•Pleural fluid produced by pleural membranes
–Acts as lubricant
–Helps hold parietal and visceral pleural membranes together
22
Ventilation
• Movement of air into and out of lungs
• Air moves from area of higher pressure to
area of lower pressure
• Pressure is inversely related to volume

Section IV SURFACTANT AND SURFACE TENSION
• Surface tension ( 表面张力) : a measure of the attraction force of the surface molecules per unit length of the material to which they are attached
33
Surface Tension
• Force exerted by fluid in alveoli to resist
distension• Lungs secrete and absorb fluid, leaving a
very thin film of fluid.
• H20 molecules at the surface are attracted
to other H20 molecules by attractive forces.
– Force is directed inward, raising pressure in
alveoli.
34

35
Surface Tension
• Law of Laplace:– Pressure in alveoli
–directly proportional to surface tension
–inversely proportional to radius of alveoli
– if surface tension were the same in all alveolus....

37
Surfactant ( 表面活性物质)• Phospholipid produced
by alveolar type II cells.
• Lowers surface tension.
– Reduces attractive
forces of hydrogen
bonding
– by becoming
interspersed between
H20 molecules.
• Surface tension in
alveoli is
reduced.

Physiology Importance of Surfactant
• Reduce the work of breathing• Stabilize alveoli
• Prevent collapse and sticking of alveoli
• Maintain the dryness of the alveoli• Prevent the edema of the alveoli
