Respiratory System Respiratory System the Major Respiratory Organs 2/19/2020 Respiratory System • Major functions of respiratory system: supply body with O2 for cellular respiration and dispose of CO2, a waste product of cellular respiration • Respiratory and circulatory system are closely coupled • Also functions in olfaction and speech Respiratory System Respiration involves four processes 1. Pulmonary ventilation (breathing): movement of air into Respiratory and out of lungs system 2. External respiration: exchange of O2 and CO2 between lungs and blood 3. Transport of O2 and CO2 in blood 4. Internal respiration: exchange of Circulatory system O2 and CO2 between systemic blood vessels and tissues The Major Respiratory Organs Conducting Zone Respiratory Zone Nasal cavity Oral cavity Nostril Pharynx Larynx Trachea Left main Carina of (primary) trachea bronchus Right main Left lung (primary) bronchus Diaphragm Right lung 1 2/19/2020 Anatomical Relationships Of Organs In The Thoracic Cavity Intercostal muscle Rib Parietal pleura Lung Pleural cavity Visceral pleura Trachea Thymus Apex of lung Left Right superior lobe superior lobe Horizontal fissure Oblique fissure Right middle lobe Left inferior Oblique fissure lobe Right inferior lobe Heart (in mediastinum) Diaphragm Base of lung Cardiac notch Anterior view.

  • Chapter 22 We Won't Do Much Anatomy Here (Left Column; 22.1-22.3)
    Chapter 22 Marieb & Hoehn (2019), p. 8181 We won’t do much anatomy here (left column; 22.1-22.3). Main issues (in lecture and lab): mechanics and measurement of breathing (22.4-22.5), chemoreceptor control of ventilation (22.8), and a few respiratory disorders (22.10). *** Sections 22.6-22.7 were briefly covered in Chapter 17. 1 Ch. 22: Test Question Templates • Q1. If given an appropriate graph of volume of air in lung vs. time, estimate or calculate FEV1/FVC ratio, FVC, residual volume, TLC, tidal volume, and/or minute ventilation. • Example (from Winter 2019 exam): 2 Q1. There are multiple ways to do this. The key is to choose a respiratory rate (breaths per minute) and a tidal volume (milliliters of air per breath) that, when multiplied together, give you 4000 mL air/minute. For example, I can draw a curve to show a tidal volume of 400 mL and a respiratory rate of 10 breaths/minute. Minute ventilation = (tidal volume)*(respiratory rate) = (400 mL air/breath)*(10 breaths/min) = 4000 mL air/min. 2 • Q2. If given two of the three values, calculate the third one: minute ventilation, respiratory rate, and tidal volume. • Example: Lola takes 10 breaths per minute, and her minute ventilation is 6000 mL air per minute. What is her tidal volume? • Q3. If given spirometry data and reference values, determine whether the data are consistent with obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive pulmonary disease, both, or neither. • Example [from Fall 2019 test]: Rik is put through various pulmonary function tests. At time 0 in the table below, he begins deflating his fully inflated lungs as forcefully and rapidly as he can.

  • Oxygenation and Oxygen Therapy
    Rules on Oxygen Therapy: Physiology: 1. PO2, SaO2, CaO2 are all related but different. 2. PaO2 is a sensitive and non-specific indicator of the lungs’ ability to exchange gases with the atmosphere. 3. FIO2 is the same at all altitudes 4. Normal PaO2 decreases with age 5. The body does not store oxygen Therapy & Diagnosis: 1. Supplemental O2 is an FIO2 > 21% and is a drug. 2. A reduced PaO2 is a non-specific finding. 3. A normal PaO2 and alveolar-arterial PO2 difference (A-a gradient) do NOT rule out pulmonary embolism. 4. High FIO2 doesn’t affect COPD hypoxic drive 5. A given liter flow rate of nasal O2 does not equal any specific FIO2. 6. Face masks cannot deliver 100% oxygen unless there is a tight seal. 7. No need to humidify if flow of 4 LPM or less Indications for Oxygen Therapy: 1. Hypoxemia 2. Increased work of breathing 3. Increased myocardial work 4. Pulmonary hypertension Delivery Devices: 1. Nasal Cannula a. 1 – 6 LPM b. FIO2 0.24 – 0.44 (approx 4% per liter flow) c. FIO2 decreases as Ve increases 2. Simple Mask a. 5 – 8 LPM b. FIO2 0.35 – 0.55 (approx 4% per liter flow) c. Minimum flow 5 LPM to flush CO2 from mask 3. Venturi Mask a. Variable LPM b. FIO2 0.24 – 0.50 c. Flow and corresponding FIO2 varies by manufacturer 4. Partial Rebreather a. 6 – 10 LPM b.

  • Lung Volume Kit Be-Lungkit
    LUNG VOLUME KIT BE-LUNGKIT Lung Volume is a broad term that actually refers to several different respiratory measurements: Tidal Volume - volume of air that is exhaled when breathing out normally. Expiratory Reserve - volume of air that that can still be exhaled after having breathed out normally. Inspiratory Reserve - additional volume of air that is available for strenuous activity. This is the volume of air that can still enter your lungs after taking a normal breath. Vital Capacity - total useable volume of air. Residual Volume - unusable volume of air. (Residual volume cannot be measured with this kit.) Assembly You can measure the lung volumes of an individual using this kit. To assemble it, please follow these instructions: 1. Insert the mouthpiece halfway through the opening of the volume bag. Secure the mouthpiece with the rubber bands. 2. While sitting, hold the bag on your knee and press a paper towel against it to force the air out of the bag. Start with the sealed end and push the air out toward the mouthpiece. Measure Tidal Volume 1. Wipe the mouthpiece with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to clean it. 2. Take a normal breath in, hold your nose and take a normal breath out into the lung volume bag mouthpiece. Slide a paper towel along the bag to push all the air to the lower end and measure the volume of air it contains. (The bag has liter and 1/10 liter graduations.) Record this as tidal volume. 3. Remove all the air from the lung volume bag by sliding the paper towel along its length.
