Learning objectivesLearning objectivesWhat we will learn in this presentation:
The structures of the respiratory system and their functions
The mechanisms of breathing
How gases are exchanged during breathing
The composition of inhaled and exhaled air
The different measurements of lung capacity and breathing
The effects of exercise on the respiratory system
What is meant by aerobic and anaerobic respiration
The nasal passages and The nasal passages and lungslungs
Air is drawn into the body via the nose or mouth. There are advantages to breathing through your nose:
Air then travels through the larynx, trachea (windpipe), bronchi (one bronchus to each lung) and bronchioles to the alveoli, where oxygen passes into the bloodstream.
the air is warmed so that it is closer to body temperature
tiny hairs and mucus in the nose filter the air, preventing larger dust and pollen particles reaching the alveoli
mucus moistens the air, making it easier for the alveoli to absorb.
PharynxPharynx Common space used by both the respiratory and digestive
systems. Commonly called the throat. Originates posterior to the nasal and oral cavities and extends
inferiorly near the level of the bifurcation of the larynx and esophagus.
Walls are lined by a mucosa and contain skeletal muscles that are primarily used for swallowing.
Partitioned into three adjoining regions: nasopharynx oropharynx
laryngopharynx
LarynxLarynx
Voice box is a short, somewhat cylindrical airway ends in the trachea.
Prevents swallowed materials from entering the lower respiratory tract.
Conducts air into the lower respiratory tract. Produces sounds. Muscular walls aid in voice production and the swallowing
reflex Glottis – the superior opening of the larynx Epiglottis – prevents food and drink from entering airway
when swallowing pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
When you breathe in:
intercostal muscles between the ribs contract, pulling the chest walls up and out
the diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts and flattens, increasing the size of the chest
the lungs increase in size, so the pressure inside them falls. This causes air to rush in through the nose or mouth.

Intercostal muscles between the ribs relax so that the chest walls move in and down.
The diaphragm muscle below the lungs relaxes and bulges up, reducing the size of the chest.
The lungs decrease in size, so the pressure inside increases and air is pushed up the trachea and out through the nose or mouth.

Gas exchange at the Gas exchange at the alveolialveoli
The alveoli are bunches of tiny air sacks inside the lungs.
Each individual sack is called an alveolus.
When you breathe in, they fill with air.
The alveoli are covered in tiny capillaries (blood vessels).
Gases can pass through the thin walls of each alveolus and capillary, and into the blood stream.
Gases can also pass from the blood stream, into the alveolus.

Measuring breathingMeasuring breathingTidal volume is the amount you breathe in and
out in one normal breath.
Residual volume is the amount of air left in your lungs after you have breathed out as hard as you can.
Minute volume is the volume of air you breathe in one minute.
Respiratory rate is how many breaths you take per minute.
Vital capacity is the maximum volume of air you can breathe out after breathing in as much as you can.
Breathing during exerciseBreathing during exercise
During exercise the muscle cells use up more oxygen and produce increased amounts of carbon dioxide.
Your lungs and heart have to work harder to supply the extra oxygen and remove the carbon dioxide.
Your breathing rate increases and you breathe more deeply.
Heart rate also increases in order to transport the oxygenated blood to the muscles.
Breathing during exerciseBreathing during exerciseMuscle cell respiration increases – more oxygen is used up and levels of CO2 rise.
The brain detects increasing levels of CO2 – a signal is sent to the lungs to increase breathing.Breathing rate and the volume of air in
each breath increase. This means that more gaseous exchange takes place.
The brain also tells the heart to beat faster so that more blood is
pumped to the lungs for gaseous exchange.
More oxygenated blood gets to the muscles and more CO2 is removed.

Look at these statistics for a 16 year-old athlete:
RespirationRespiration
Glucose from food is used to fuel exercise.
Respiration is the process that takes place in living cells which releases energy from food molecules.
Waste products, including carbon dioxide, are produced as a result of the chemical reactions. These must be removed and excreted.
glucoseoxygen
energy
respirationOxygen is required to ‘break down’ the glucose to produce energy. This energy is used to make muscles contract.
Aerobic respirationAerobic respiration
Aerobic exercise can be maintained for long periods without the performer getting breathless or suffering muscle cramps. Moderate activities like walking, jogging, cycling and swimming use aerobic respiration.
There are two different types of respiration.
When you exercise at a steady, comfortable rate, the cardiovascular system is able to supply the muscles with all the oxygen they need.
Under these conditions, aerobic respiration takes place.
glucose + oxygen energycarbon dioxide+ + water
Anaerobic respirationAnaerobic respiration
When you exercise at a high intensity, the cardiovascular system cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles.
Under these conditions, anaerobic respiration takes place.
With no oxygen available, glucose is burned to produce energy and lactic acid.
Lactic acid is a mild poison. As it builds up, it causes muscle pain and eventually cramp.
Short, intense activities like sprinting, weightlifting, jumping and throwing use anaerobic respiration.
glucose energy + lactic acid

Used for the relief of nonproductive coughs associated with:
Common coldBronchitisLaryngitisPharyngitisCoughs caused by chronic paranasal sinusitis
PertussisInfluenzaMeasles
Bronchial AsthmaBronchial AsthmaRecurrent and reversible shortness of breath
that occurs when the bronchi and bronchioles become narrow as a result of bronchospasm, inflammation, and edema of the bronchial mucosa, and the production of viscid (sticky) mucous.
Symptoms• wheezing, • shortness of breath, • chest tightness, • coughing.Asthma is caused by inflammation in the
airways. When an asthma attack occurs, the muscles surrounding the airways become tight and the lining of the air passages swells. This reduces the amount of air that can pass by.
AsthmaAsthmaMay be triggered by virusesIrritantsAllergensCan develop at any ageSeen more often in children who
are exposed to airway irritants during infancy
