Respiratory System 1
- Anatomical features and the physiological significance
- Zone of Gaseous Exchange
Anmerkungen:
- Alveoli does this.
Human have more than 300 million alveoli and have a diameter of 300 micrometer
- Alveoli
Anmerkungen:
- Surfactant lowers the surface tension, made by Type II Pneumocyte.
- Conducting Zone
Anmerkungen:
- Respiratory, anatomical dead space, around 150 ml, consist of the throat etc etc, all the way down before alveoli.
- Respiratory Zone
Anmerkungen:
- Bulk of the lung
It is also where the cross sectional area increases rapidly.
- Airflow
Anmerkungen:
- Respiratory cycle consists of inspiration and expiration.
Airflow- (Patm-Palve)/Resistance of airway.
- Pulmonary Blood Flow
Anmerkungen:
- Cardiac output passes thru the pulmonary cirtuit at 6 litres per min.
Mean pulmonary artery pressure is 15mmhg compared to Mean blood pressure.
Bronchial arteries consists of oxygenated blood.
- Particle Removal
Anmerkungen:
- 1st Stage: Nose hairs
2nd Stage: Ciliated airway with goblet cells, mucus
Macrophage
- Coughing
Anmerkungen:
- 1. Inspiration (around 2.5 l of air)
2. Epiglottis closes and vocal cords closes
3. Increase of pressure by forceful contraction of abdominal muscles
4. Sudden opening of vocal cords and epiglottis
5. Air expel.
Sneeze is similar.
- Gas Laws
Anmerkungen:
- overall PV=nRT
PV=PV Boyle's Law
V/T=V/T Charles Law
Avogardo's Law: ! mol of gas occupies the same amount of pressure and molecules.
at Odeg, 1 mol = 22.4L
Dalton's Law of partial pressure: P total is equal to the sum of all parts.
Henry's Law, the conc of the given gas will dissolve in equilibrium in direct proportion to the partial pressure
C=SolX P
- Gas Tension
Anmerkungen:
- Gas diffuse down the tension gradient
- Air Composition
Anmerkungen:
- 20.93% oxygen
0.03% Co2
79.04% nitrogen and others.
