Major Functions of the Respiratory system
get oxygen from the atmosphere
remove carbon dioxide from the oxygen inhaled from the atmosphere
remove particles from the air
regulate the temperature of it
also regulate the temperature of the water in the air
provide voice
regulate blood PH
helps smell better
disorders of the respiratory system
COPD is basically a chronic lung disorder
Tuberculosis a bacterial infection in the lungs
Pnemonia is a vital infection of the lungs
Lung Cancer is when cells grow uncontrollably and make tumors in the lungs
Seasonal Flu is a viral infection that has many variations but can be treated easily.
respiratory volumes and capacities
Tidal Volume: the average volume is approximately 500mL
Inspiratory Reserve Volume: the average volume is approximately 3,000mL
Expiratory Reserve Volume: the average volume is approximately 1,200mL
Residual Volume: the average volume is approximately 1,200mL but can not be measured with a spirometer
Respiratory Capacities: it is a combinations of 2 or more respiratory volumes
Inspiratory Capacity: IRV+TV and it has a volume of approximately 3,500mL
Functional Residual Capacity: ERV+RV has an approximate volume of 3,00mL
Vital Capacity: TV+IRV+ERV has an approximate volume of 4.600mL
Total lung Capacity: VC+RV and has an approximate volume of 5,800mL
Autonomic dead space: it is the volume of air remaining in a bronchial tree
Layers of the pleurae
Visceral pleura: the inner layer
Parietal pleura: the outer layer
Serious fluid: in the middle lubricating the two layers
Lower respiratory structures and functions
the trachea: it has cilia that sweeps mucus toward the pharynx where you swallow it
the bronchi: they carry oxygen into your lungs so you can breathe
the alveoli: they are branched mucus membranes that lined the tubular airways
Compare and contrast the mechanism of inspiration and expiration
They both help you breathe
Inspiration is when you inhale
Expiration is when you exhale and release the air
the diaphragm contracts upward when you are undergoing expiration
the diaphragm contracts downward when undergoing inspiration
Upper respiratory structures and functions
Nose: allows air to enter and exit the body
Nasal Cavity: it filters, warms, and moistens the air before it reaches the lungs
Sinuses: make mucus to moisturize the inside of the nose
Pharynx: serves as a passageway for air and food from the nasal and oral cavities
internal vs. external respiration
internal respiration helps to transport oxygen in the blood from the lungs to cells
Internal inspiration also transport carbon dioxide from the tissue cells into the lungs and blood
external respiration exchanges gases between the lungs and the bloodstream
Volume and pressure relationships and thoracic cavity
If the volume increases the pressure decreases
If the volume decreases the pressure increases
The thoracic cavity is where you will find all the organs related to the respiratory system
