The respiratory system document provides information on the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. It describes the process of respiration, the organs involved including the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs and associated structures like the pleura. It explains the functions of these organs like warming, filtering and transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and body tissues. The document also provides details on the composition of air, mechanics of breathing and blood supply to the respiratory organs.
The urinary system's function is to filter blood and create urine as a waste by-product. The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra. The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy.
The blood vessels are the components of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body. These vessels transport blood cells, nutrients, and oxygen to the tissues of the body. They also take waste and carbon dioxide away from the tissues.
Kidney is a vital organ. Each individual has a pair of kidneys .
kidney is bean shaped organ on either side of your spine, below your ribs and behind your belly. Each kidney is about 4 - 5 inches long, roughly the size of a large fist.
The kidney job is to filter the blood.

In the human body, a complex network of fluids and vessels works tirelessly to transport essential substances, ensuring the proper functioning of every cell and organ. This system, known as the circulatory system, plays a vital role in distributing oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other crucial molecules while removing waste products.
In our journey through this topic, we will explore the composition of blood, the functions of various blood components, the mechanisms of circulation, and the importance of maintaining a healthy circulatory system. Understanding body fluids and circulation is not only essential for grasping the basics of human physiology but also for appreciating the intricate balance required to sustain life.

Respiratory system B pharmacy 2nd semester ZaibaFathima8
It has everything you need to know in the second semester of Bachelor of Pharmacy ass per the PCI syllabus.
I prepared this PowerPoint presentation to teach my beloved juniors to hope you can understand. If you want a more detailed PPT leave it in the comments.
The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for the respiration process in an organism. It is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment.
The branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the ears, nose, and throat is called Otorhinolaryngology.
RESPIRATION- The oxidative process occurring within living cells by which the chemical energy of organic molecules is released in a series of metabolic steps involving the consumption of oxygen and the liberation of carbon dioxide and water is called as respiration.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
2. INTRODUCTION:
Respiration is the process by which oxygen
from lungs is carried by blood to the tissue ,
and carbon dioxide formed in the tissues by
metabolic activity is carried by blood to the
lungs and is expired out.
PROCESS OF
RESPIRATION:
1.Ventilation
2.Intrapulmonary gas-mixing
3.Diffusion
4.Perfusion
4. CYCLES OF RESPIRATION:
This occurs 12 to 15 times per minute and consist of
three phases.
1. INSPIRATION: Inhalation of air or breathe in.
2. EXPIRATION : Exhalation of air or breathe out.
3. PAUSE.
5. COMPOSITION OF AIR:

7. 1.NOSE AND NASAL CAVITY:
Position: The nose is the organ of smell located in the middle of the face while the
nasal cavity lies above the roof of the mouth.
Structure: Nasal cavity is an irregular cavity divided into two equal passages by a
SEPTUM.
Posterior bony part: It is a perpendicular plate of Ethmoid bone and Vomer.
Anterior bony part: It consist of Hyaline cartilage.
Roof: It is formed by cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and sphenoid bone,
frontal and nasal bone.
Floor :It is formed by the roof of the mouth and consist of hard palate(maxilla and
palatine bones) in front and the soft palate(involuntary muscle) behind.
Walls: medial wall-septum
Lateral wall- maxilla and ethymoid bone
Posterior wall- pharynx
8.
9. OPENINGS INTO THE NASAL CAVITY:
Anterior nares or nostrils: Opening from the exterior into the nasal cavity.
Posterior nares : Opening from the nasal cavity into the pharynx.
Paranasal sinus: Cavities in the bones of face and the cranium which contain air .
The main sinuses are ,maxillary sinus (lateral walls),frontal and sphenoidal
sinuses(roof) , ethmoid sinus (upper part of the lateral walls).
FUNCTIONS:
1. Respiratory function:
The nose is the first of the respiratory passages through which the inspires air
passes. The function of the nose is to begin the process by which the air is warmed ,
moistened , and filtered.
2. Olfactory function:
The nose is the organ of the sense of smell.There are nerve endings in the roof of
the nose which are stimulated by the chemical substances given off by odorous
material.The resultant impulses are conveyed by olfactory nerves to the brain where
the sensation of smell is perceived.
10. PHARYNX
POSITION:
It is muscular tube
12 cm in length
Extends from the base of the skull to the level of the 6th
cervical vertebra.
It lies behind the nose, mouth and larynx
It is wider at its upper end.
12. NASOPHARYNX: The nasal part of the pharynx lies behind the nose bove the level of soft
palate. On its lateral walls are two openings of the auditory tubes one leading to each middle ear. On
the posterior wall are the pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids), consist of lymphoid tissue. They are more
prominent in children upto approx. 7 years of age there after they gradually atrophy.
OROPHARYNX:The oral part of the pharynx lies behind the mouth extending from below the level
of soft palate to the level of the upper part of the body to the 3rd cervical vertebra. Th e lateral wall of
the pharynx blend with the soft palate to form two fold on each side. Between each pair of fold os the
collection of lymphoid tissue called the
palatine tonsil. During swallowing the
nasal and oral part are separated by
the soft palate and uvula.
THE LARYNGOPHARYNX: The laryngeal
part of the pharynx extends from the
oropharynx above and continues as the
oesophagus below i.e, from the level of the
3rd to the 6th cervical vertebra.
13. STRUCTURE
The walls of the pharynx contain several types of tissue.
Mucous membrane lining
Submucosa
Smooth muscle
14. BLOOD AND NERVE SUPPLY
Blood is supply to the pharynx by several branches of facial artery. The venus return is into
the facial and internal jugular veins.
The nerve supply is from the pharyngeal plexus, formed by parasympathetic and sympathetic
nerves. Parasympathetic supply is by the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves. Sympathetic
supply is by nerves from the superior cervical ganglia.
FUNCTIONS:
Passageway for air and food
Warming and humidifying
Hearing
Protection
speech
15. LARYNX
The larynx or ‘voice box’ links the laryngopharynx
and the trachea. It lies at the level of the
3rd ,4th ,5th and 6th cervical vertebrae.
Until puberty there is a little difference in size
of the larynx between the sexes, thereafter,
it grows larger in the male, which explain the
prominence of the ‘Adams apple’ and
the generally deeper voice.
16. STRUCTURE
CARTILAGES:
larynx is composed of several irregularly shaped cartilages attached to each other by
ligaments and membranes.
The main cartilages are:
Thyroid cartilage (1) The
Cricoid cartilage (1)
Arytenoid cartilages (2)
Epiglottis (1)
18. THE THYROID CARTILAGE: This is the most prominent of the laryngeal cartilages. Made
of hyaline cartilage, it lies to the front of the neck. Its interior wall projects into the soft tissue of the
front of the throat, forming the laryngeal prominence or Adam’s apple, which is easily felt and
often visible in adult males. The anterior wa’ll is partially divided by the thyroid notch, the cartilage
is incomplete posteriorly, and is bound with ligaments to the hyoid bone above and cricoid
cartilage below.
The upper part of the thyroid cartilage is lined with stratified squamous epithelium like the larynx,
and the lower part with ciliated columnar epithelium like the trachea. There are many muscles
attached to its outer surface.
THE CRICOID CARTILAGE: This lies below the thyroid cartilage and is also composed of
hyaline cartilage. It is shaped like a signet ring, complete encircling the larynx with the narrow part
anteriorly and the broad part posteriorly. The broad posterior part articulates with the arytenoid
cartilages and with the thyroid cartilage. It is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium and there are
muscles and ligaments attached to its outer surface. The lower border of the cricoid cartilage
marks the end of the upper respiratory tract.
19. THE ARYTENOID CARTILAGES: These are two roughly pyramid shaped hyaline cartilages
situated on the top of the broad part of the cricoid cartilage forming part of the posterior wall of
larynx. They give attachment to the vocal cords and to muscles And are lined with ciliated columnar
epithelium.
THE EPIGLOTTIS: This is a leaf shaped fibroelastic
cartilage attached on a flexible stalk of cartilage to
the inner surface of the anterior wallof the thyroid
cartilage immediately below the thyroid notch.
It riseobliquely upwards behind thetongue and the
body of the hyoid bone. It is covered with stratified
squamous epithelium.If the larynx is likened to a box
then the epiglottis acts as the lid; it closes off the
larynx during swallowing, protecting the lungs from
the accidental inhalation of foreign o bjects.
20. BLOOD AND NERVE SUPPLY:
Blood is supply to the larynx by the superior and inferior laryngeal arteries and drained by the
thyroid veins, which join the internal jugular vein.
The parasympathetic nerve supply is from the superior cervical ganglia, one on each side. These
provide the motor nerve supply to the muscles of the larynx and sensory fibres to the lining
membrane.
INTERIOR OF THE LARYNX:
The vocal cords are two Pale folds of
mucous Membrane with cord like free
edges, which extends from the inner wall
of the thyroid prominence anteriorly to
the arytenoid cartilages posteriorly.
21. When the muscles controlling the vocal cords are
relaxed, the vocal cords open and the passage
way for air coming up through the larynx is clear;
the vocal cords are said to be abducted (open).
The pitch of the sound produced by vibrating the
vocal cords in this position is low. When the
muscles controlling the vocal cords contract, the
vocal cords are stretched out tightly across the
larynx, and are said to be adducted (closed).
When the vocal cords are stretched to this extent,
and are vibrated by the air passing through from
the lungs, the sound produced is high pitched.
The pitch of the voice is therefore determined by
the tension applied to the vocal cords by the appropriate sets of muscles. When not in use, the
vocal cords are adducted. The space between the vocal cords is called the glottis.
22. Production of sound:
Speech:
Protection of the lower respiratory tract:
Passageway for air:
Humidifying, filtering and warming:
FUNCTIONS:
24. Begins-in the neck below the cricoid cartilage of the
larynx.
Extends to carina
lined by ciliated columnar epithelium.
10 to 11 cm long and lies mainly in the median plane in
front of the oesophagus.
It then divides into two smaller tubes known as bronchi;
each lung having a bronchus.
Each time you inhale, the trachea slightly lengthens and
widens, and it goes back to its normal size whenever you
exhale
25. STRUCTURES ASSOCIATED WITH
TRACHEA
Superiorly- the larynx
Inferiorly- the right and left bronchi
Anteriorly-upper part: the isthmus of the thyroid gland-
lower part: the arch of the aorta and the sternum
Posteriorly- the esophagus separates the trachea from
the vertebral column.
Laterally-lungs
26. STRUCTURE
Trachea is composed of 3 layers of tissue (C-shape)
rings of hyaline cartilage lying one above another.
The rings are incomplete posteriorly.
Connective tissue and involuntary muscle join the
cartilages and form the posterior wall where the rings
are incomplete.
27. Three layers of
tissue “CLOTHE” the
cartilages of the trachea.
The outer layer
consists of fibrous
and elastic tissue
and encloses the
cartilages.
The middle layer
consists of cartilages
and bands of
smooth muscle that
wind round the
trachea in a helical
arrangement.
The inner lining
consists of ciliated
columnar epithelium,
containing mucus-
secreting goblet
cells.
28. Blood and nerve supply, lymph drainage
BLOOD SUPPLY-
Arterial supply-The inferior thyroid and bronchial arteries.
Venous drainage: Inferior thyroid veins into the brachiocephalic veins.
NERVE SUPPLY-
Para sympathetic nerve supply :
The recurrent laryngeal nerves and other branches of the vagi.
Para sympathetic stimulation constricts the trachea.
Sympathetic nerve supply:
Nerve supply from the sympathetic ganglia.
Sympathetic stimulation dilates the trachea.
LYMPHATIC SUPPLY:
Lymph from the respiratory passages drains through lymph nodes situated round the
trachea and in the carina.
The area where it divides into two bronchi.
29. FUNCTIONS
SUPPORT AND PATENCY :
The arrangement of cartilage and elastic tissue prevents kinking and obstruction of the
airways as the head and neck move.
COUGH REFLEX.
Nerve endings in the larynx, trachea and bronchi are sensitive to irritation, which generates
nerve impulses conducted by the vagus nerves to the respiratory centre in the brain stem.
WARMING, HUMIDIFYING AND FILTERING.
When the air is cold, the trachea helps to humidify and warm the air entering the lungs. When
the air is hot, heat is carried away in exhaled air through evaporation of water.
30. LUNGS
Lungs are pair of respiratory organs situated in
thoracic cavity. right and left lung are separated
by the mediastinum.
Texture- spongy
Color- young- brown
adults- melted black due to the position
carbon particles.
MEASURMENTS
SHAPE: CONE
REGIONS : apex, base, coastal surface, medial
surface.
31. APEX: It is rounded and rises into the root of the neck.
It lies close to the first rib and blood vessels and nerves in the root of the neck.
THE BASE: This is concave and semilunar in shape.
Lies on the thoracic surface of the diaphragm.
THE COSTAL SURFACE: This surface is convex in shape.
Lies against the costal cartilages, the ribs and the intercostals muscles.
THE MEDIAL SURFACE: This surface is concave and roughly triangular-shaped area called “HILUM”.
It lies at the level of the 5th,6th and 7th thoracic vertebrae.
It is occupied by the heart,, trachea, right and left bronchi, oesophagus, lymph nodes, lymph vessels and nerves.
32. The right lung is divided into three distinct lobes
Superior lobe
Middle lobe
Inferior lobe
The left lung is smaller because the heart occupies space
left of the midline.
v It is divided into two lobes
SUPERIOR And INFERIOR LOBE.
34. PLEURA AND PLEURAL CAVITY
The pleura consists of a closed sac of serous membrane(one for each lung) which
contains a small amount of serous fluid. The lung is invaginated (pushed into)
this sac so that it forms two layers:
THE VISCERAL PLEURA: This is adherent to the lung, covering each lobe and
passing into the fissures that separate them.
THE PARIETAL PLEURA: This is adherent to the inside of the chest wall and the
thoracic surface of the diaphragm. It remains detached from the adjacent
structures in the mediastinum and continous with the visceral pleura round the
edges of the hilum.
35. THE PLEURAL CAVITY: The pleural cavity is a potential space
between the visceral and parietal pleura that contains thin
layer of fluid.
Two pleural cavities are situated on either side of the
mediastum.
During development the lungs grow out of the mediastum,
becoming surrounded by the pleural cavities.
36. BLOOD SUPPLY:
Arterial supply-The pulmonary trunk divides into the right and left
pulmonary arteries, it carries pure blood.
VENOUS DRIANAGE :two pulmonary bronchial veins carry the de-
oxygenated blood.
NERVE SUPPLY:
PARASYMPATHETIC NERVE SUPPLY: The vagus nerves stimulate
contraction of smooth muscle in the bronchial tree
causing BRONCHOCONSTRUCTION.
SYMPATHETIC NERVE SUPPLY: Stimulation causes
BRONCHODILATATION.
LYMPHATIC SUPPLY : Lymph is drained from the walls of the air
passages in a network of lymph vessels.
It passes through lymph nodes situated around the trachea and bronchial
tree then into the thoracic duct on the left side and right lymphtic duct on
the other.
40. Conducting zone structure
Trachea, primary, lobar,
segmental bronchi, and
terminal bronchiole
together represent as
conducting zone passage
where air conduction is
done.
41. The tissue composition of walls of primary bronchi similar to the
trachea.
However , as conducting tube becomes smaller, the following structural
changes occur-
Support structure changes
Epithelium type change
Amount of smooth muscle increases
42. Respiratory zone structure
Defined by presence of thin walled air sacs called alveoli, the
respiratory zone begins as terminal bronchioles divides into
respiratory bronchioles within lung.
Respiratory bronchioles lead into winding alveolar ducts, whose
walls consist of diffusely arranged rings of smooth muscle cells,
connecting tissue fibers, and outpocketing alveoli.
The alveolar duct lead into terminal cluster of alveoli called
alveolar sacs.
44. Alveoli and Respiratory Membrane
Walls of the alveoli are composed of a single layer of squamous
epithelial cells called type I alveolar cells.
External surfaces of alveoli are densely covered with pulmonary
capillaries.
Capillary and alveolar wall and their fused basement membranes form
that respiratory membrane.
It is thick blood air barrier.
45. Gas exchanges occur readily by simple diffusion across the
respiratory membrane.
Type II alveolar cells secrete surfactant that coat the gas exposed
alveolar surfaces.
It also secrete number of antimicrobial proteins that are important
elements of innate immunity.
47. Alveoli have three significant features :
They are surrounded by fine elastic fibers of the same type that
surround the entire bronchial tree.
Open alveolar pores connecting adjacent alveoli allow air pressure
throughout the lung to be equalized and provide alternate air route
to any alveoli whose bronchi collapsed due to disease.
Remarkably efficient alveolar macrophages present freely along the
internal alveolar surfaces.
48. Functions
• Control Of Air Entry
• Warming And Humidifying
• Support And Patency
• Removal Of Particulate Matter
• Cough Reflex
49. EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL
RESPIRATION:
The physiological role of respiration is to
supply the tissues with oxygen and remove
carbon dioxide wastes from them.
To do so, the lungs must periodically take in
fresh air and expel used air . Thus
respiration may be said to have two phases
or to function at two levels in the body i.e.
A. EXTERNAL RESPIRATION
B. INTERNAL RESPIRATION
50. A. EXTERNAL RESPIRATION
(BREATHING)
External respiratory system
concerned with getting air into and
out of the lungs
It follows the path of inspired air
i.e. through the nose and mouth,
into the pharynx (throat), on
through the larynx (voice box),
down the trachea (windpipe)and
into the bronchial tubes leading
into the lungs.
51. MECHANISM OF BREATHING.
It is based on Boyle’s law , which says that “if the volume of the container is
increased, the pressure within it decreases.”
Inspiration: volume of the thorax increases as the pressure within it decreases so
the air flows into the lungs.
Expiration: volume of the thorax decreases as the pressure within it increases so
the air is forced out.
Action of diaphragm.
Inspiration - contraction of diaphragm.
Expiration - relaxation of diaphragm.
Action of ribs.
Inspiration – outward and upward excursion of ribs(ribs 2 through 10)
Expiration – downward slope of the relaxed ribs.
52. THE AIR WE BREATHE.
When the speaking of the amount of air in the lungs, it is often advisable to be
more specific, since this amount depends on whether the person was breathing
naturally or forcefully.
The following are semi-official terms used by physiologists,
Tidal volume
Inspiratory reserve volume
Expiratory reserve volume
Vital capacity
Residual volume
53. B . INTERNAL RESPIRATION
Internal respiration involves the following
1. The passage of oxygen from the lungs into the bloods.
2. Transporting oxygen to the tissues.
3. Passage of oxygen into the tissues from the blood.
54. TRANSPORT OF GASES IN THE
BLOODSTREAM.
To enter the bloodstream, oxygen must pass
through the alveolar membrane and then through
the capillary wall.
The blood then transport it to the tissues where
again it must diffuse through wall of the capillary,
into the tissue fluid, and into the cell.
The same is true of carbon dioxide in the reversed
direction.
This passage of oxygen in one direction and of
carbon dioxide in other is referred to as the
interchange of gases.
