HSTA 2020 Circulatory System Respiratory System Respiratory System Anatomy Nasal cavity Oral cavity Pharynx Larynx Trachea Left main (primary) Right main bronchus (primary) bronchus Right lung Left lung Inhalation & Exhalation • A key component of inhalation (breathing in) is taking up oxygen into the body. • A key component of exhalation (breathing out) is releasing carbon dioxide out of the body. • Note that the air in the atmosphere has both oxygen and carbon dioxide (as well as nitrogen and other gasses). When one inhales, we take in a mixture of all of these gasses found in the atmosphere into the lungs. When we exhale, we exhale a mixture of all of these gasses. • The main function for breathing is to take in oxygen and remove excess carbon dioxide from our bodies. • Oxygen (O2) is needed by every cell in the body (brain, heart, muscles, etc.) to generate energy. • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a biproduct of producing energy. Having excess carbon dioxide can be toxic to the body, therefore, it is necessary to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body. Oxygen Flow • Oxygen enters the body through the nasal cavity or oral cavity during inhalation (breathing in). Oxygen then passes through the pharynx (posterior to nasal and oral cavities), down the larynx, and into the trachea. • The trachea branches into the left Nasal cavity Oral cavity and right bronchi Pharynx (singular bronchus) Larynx leading oxygen to Trachea Left main the lungs. (primary) Right main bronchus (primary) bronchus Right lung Left lung Oxygen Flow Trachea Bronchi • In the lungs, the left (branch smaller and right bronchi and smaller) branch into smaller and smaller bronchi (see image), like branches on a tree. • Oxygen flows through these smaller and smaller branches. Oxygen Flow • The smallest of these branches are called respiratory bronchioles, and these lead to many alveoli (alveolus singular). • The alveolus is a round structure that is part of the lungs, and is where gas exchange occurs. Alveolus = 1 Alveoli = more than 1 Alveolar sac = bundle/bunch of Alveoli Alveoli Alveolar duct Respiratory Alveolar duct bronchioles Terminal Alveolar bronchiole sac Oxygen Flow • The alveolus is where gas exchange occurs between the lungs (alveolus) and blood. • Alveoli are covered in capillaries to allow gas exchange. • Reminder: capillaries are the smallest of blood vessels. • At the alveolus, oxygen passes from the alveolus through the respiratory membrane and into the blood. Respiratory bronchiole O2 Alveolus CO2 Capillary Capillaries Alveolus Respiratory Membrane Carbon Dioxide Flow • As oxygen passes from the alveolus and into the blood, carbon dioxide exits the blood by passing from the blood (in capillaries), though the respiratory membrane, and into the alveolus. • Carbon dioxide then passes from the alveolus to respiratory bronchioles. Respiratory bronchiole O2 CO2 Alveolus Capillary Capillaries Alveolus Respiratory Membrane Carbon Dioxide Flow • Carbon dioxide continues to pass through the bronchi in the lungs, to the trachea, into the larynx, then pharynx, until it reaches the oral or nasal cavity and then is released into the atmosphere when exhaling (breathing out).

With direct absorption and deposition at the lung level, avoiding side effects and presenting fast response time. Several factors infl uence the drug action, such as size, particle movement, ventilatory fl ow, pulmonary expansion, anatomy, respiratory mechanics and the nebulizer and patient interface. The therapeutic optimization depends on the type of nebulizer differentiating itself by the physical principle that generates the mist. Objectives: Check advantages and disadvantages of different inhalation devices. Methodology. This is a review of the PubMed database using descriptors: ultrasonic and jet nebulizer, aerosol deposition in the lung, metered dose inhaler and dry, inhaler therapy. Results: Different devices are mentioned in the literature: pneumatic and ultrasonic nebulizers (administering solutions), metered pressurized inhalers - pMDI used with or without expander chamber (administering suspensions) and dry powder inhalers - DPI (administering powder). Discussion and Conclusion: The US has advantages: quiet, does not require coordinating abilities, without propellant gases and quick nebulization with small amount of solution. Disadvantages: change in the active principle of thermosensitive drugs, deposition in the oropharynx and VAI of 2% of inhaled particles.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

Smith 1,2, Karen O. McKay 1,2, Peter P. van Asperen 1,2, Hiran Selvadurai 1,2, Dominic A. Fitzgerald 1,2,* 1 Department of Respiratory Medicine, The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Locked Bag 4001 Westmead NSW Australia 2145 2 Discipline of Paediatrics and Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Sydney, Sydney NSW Australia ARTICLE INFO SUMMARY Keywords: The following review focuses on the normal development of the lung from conception to birth. The alveoli defined periods of lung development–Embryonic, Pseudoglandular, Canalicular, Saccular and Alveolar– bronchopulmonary dysplasia will be explored in detail in relation to gestational age. Cellular differentiation, formation of the lung development conducting airways and respiratory zone and development of the alveoli will be reviewed. Pulmonary premature birth vascular development will also be examined within these periods to relate the formation of the blood-air barrier to the lungs for their essential function of gas exchange after birth. The development of the surfactant and cortisol systems will also be discussed as these need to be mature before the lungs are able to take on their role of respiration following birth. It is clear that premature birth interrupts normal lung development so the effect of preterm birth on lung development will be examined and the respiratory consequences of very preterm birth will be briefly explored.
