OBJECTIVES
•INTRODUCTION
• ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE OF RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
• RESPIRATORY UNIT
• PULMONARY VENTILATION
• DIFFUSION OF GASES
•REGULATION OF RESPIRATION
• APPLIED RESPIRATORY PHYSIOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
• Four component of respiration are :-
(i) Pulmonary ventilation :-
lung alveoli
• Conducting airway :-
Trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, respiratory unit
• Alveoli :-
Gas exchange between alveolar air and
pulmonary blood occur in alveoli
RESPIRATORY UNIT
PULMONARY VENTILATION
• During inspiration:
• Expiratory muscles
i) Rectus abdominis
ii) Internal intercostal muscle
iii) Internal & external obliques
iv) Transverus abdominis
MECHANISM OF INSPIRATION
inspiration
diaphragm relax
• It is distensibility of lung
• Alveoli Capillary
PO2 = 104 mm Hg PO2 = 40 mm Hg
(high pressure ) (low pressure )
PCO2 = 40 mm Hg PCO2 = 45 mm Hg
( low pressure) ( high pressure )
• Oxygen transport in blood:
Central Peripheral
Chemoreceptor Chemoreceptor
CENTRAL CHEMORECEPTOR PERIPHERAL CHEMORECEPTOR
Location : location :
Chemosensitive area in Carotid ( IX ) and Aortic (X)
Medulla Body
Stimuli : stimuli:
Increase CO2 in blood Decrease O2 arterial conc.
stimulate receptor stimulate these receptor
indirectly by increasing ( increase CO2 & H⁺ in
H⁺ in brain extracellular blood also stimulate )
fluids
Response : Response :
Slow response fast response
NEURONAL REGULATION
• Respiratory centre is located in medulla oblongata &
pons of midbrain
3) Pneumotaxic centre :
Located in pons
Alkalosis: pH up
Acidosis: pH down
ii) Atelectasis
ii) Asthma
Emphysema
