RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
It’s part can be classified according to their structure~
ito
‘© Humidified , warms and filter inspired air.
vy
Air filled cavities with in hollow bones that surround the nasal passage.
Provide resonance during speech.
The sinuses are names by their location frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid and maxillary.
Located behind the oral and nasal cavities
© It is a tube like structure that connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and
oesophagus.
© Itdivided into the nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx.
© Passage way for both the respiratory tract and digestive tract.
Lymphoid structure
‘Two types :-- palatine tonsils and pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids )
Adenoids are located in the roof of the nasopharynx
© Located above the trachea and just below the pharynx at the root of tongue
Commonly called voice box
Contain two pair of vocal cord — the false and true cord(Located in Lumen of the
Larynx)
It contain three cartilage :-- Thyroid (Largest)
[Thyroid cartilage > Part of it form the adam’s apple]
Cricoid cartilage and arytenoids cartilage
Glottis :— Opening between the vocal cord in Larynx , the Glottis play an important
role in coughing which is the most fundamental defense mechanism of the lungs.
6. Epiglottis ~
© A value flap of cartilage that covers the opening to the larynx during swallowing
1. Trachea :- (Windpipe)
© Located in the front of the esophagus,
© Branches into the right and left main stem bronchi
16-20 Incomplete, horizontal rings of hyaline cartilage (C Shape).
2. Bronchi and Bronchioles :-
‘* Trachea bifurcates into two main or primary bronchi called right and left bronchi
* Right bronchus is slightly wider and shorter than the left bronchus
© Right primary bronchi divided into 3 secondary bronchi and left primary bronchi
divided into 2 secondary bronchi.

* Secondary Bronchi (lobar bronchi) divide into tertiary bronchi. In right lung, there
are 10 tertiary bronchi and in left lung there are 8 tertiary bronchi.
‘* Tertiary bronchi (segmental bronchi) divide several time with reduction in length and
diameter into generation of many bronchioles.
When the diameter of bronchiole become Imm itis called terminal bronchiole.
Terminal bronchiole continues or divided into respiratory bronchioles, which have a
diameter of 0.5mm.
3. Lungs
‘© Located in the pleural cavity in the thorax
© The right lung which is larger than the left. It divided into three lobes , the upper
middle and lower lobe
The left lung, which is narrower than the right lung. It is divided into two lobes,
The each lung is encaged with a pleura, outer-parietal pleura, inner — visceral pleura
The fluid present in between the parietal and visceral pleura, known as pleural fluid.
4, Respiratory Unit :-
Respiratory unit starts from the respiratory bronchioles. Each respiratory bronchiole
divide into alveolar ducts. Each alveolar duct enters as enlarged structure called the alveolar Sac.
Alveolar sac consist of a cluster of alveoli
5. Alveoli :-
Each lung contain about 300 million alveoli, It is defined as the structural and functional
unit of lungs. it contain
(Epithelial cell, which form its surface
(i) Macrophage (Dust cell )> responsible for phogocytosis
(iii) Metabolic active secretary cell — Secrete surfactant and phospholipid which reduce the
surface tension of lung tissue and reduce the tendency to collapse of lung.
6. Respiratory Membrane :-
It is the membranous structure through which the exchange of gases occurs. It is formed
by alveolar membrane and capillary membrane.
> Respiration
© Inspiration + expiration
Inspiration :- Air enter into the lungs from atmosphere
Expiration :- Air leaves the lungs
External Respiration:-- Exchange of Respiratory gases
e.g. O» and CO, Between alveoli of lungs and blood is called external respiration
© Internal respiration :- exchange of gases between blood and tissue is called internal
(i) Temperture Regulation
(ii) Regulation of acid base balance :-
(iii)Defense Mechanism :-
«Nose ~ Hair Mucus
* Alveoli ~ Macrophages
(iv) Anti-co-agulant Function :~ Mast cell secrete heparin

* Pulmonary Artery :- It Supplies Deoxygenated blood pumped from right ventricle to
alveoli of lungs (Pulmonary Circulation ) After leaving the right Ventricle , this Artery
divided into right and left branches.
* Bronchial Artery: - Arises from descending thoracic aorta it supplies oxygenated blood to
bronchi, lung, Pleura, Pulmonary Lymphnode.
* Venous Drainage :- Respiratory structures is drained by two bronchial vein from each
side.
» Pulmonary Function Test (P.F.
* Pulmonary Function Test or lung function tests are useful in assessing the functional
status of the respiratory system both in physiological and pathological condition.
. Pulmonary function tests are based on the measurement of volume of air breathed in and
out in quiet breathing and forced breathing.
* Most of the P.F.T. are carried out by using spirometer. The modified spirometer is
known as respirometer.
‘The air in lung is classified into two division.
(Giana ote
(A) Tidal Volume (TV):-
The volume of air breathed in and out of lung in a single quiet respiration is called tidal
volume. Normal volume - 500ml
(B) Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) :-
It is an additional volume of air than can be inspired forcefully after the end of normal
inspiration .
Normal value - 3300 ml
(C) Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) :-
it is the additional volume of air than can be expired out forcefully after normal
expiration
Normal value - 1000 ml
(D) Residual Volume :- The amount of air remaining in the lungs even after forced expiration
is called residual volume
Normal value - 1200m1
(2. Lungs Capacity :5) Lung capacity are the combination of two or more lung volume
(A) Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
It is the maximum volume of air than can be inspired starting from end expiratory
position
IC - TVHRV - 500+3300 - 3800 ml
(B) Functional Residual Capacity (F.R.C.
This is the volume of air remaining in lungs after normal expiration
FRI ERV+RV - 1000+ 1200 = 2200ml
(C) Vital Capacity :-
it is the maximum amount of air that can be expelled out forcefully after a maximum
inspiration
VC= TV+IRV+ERV=500+3300+1000= 4800 ml
Gurjar Ki Thadi, Opp. Metro Pillar No. 67, New Sanganer Road, Jaipur Mb. 7426955591, 74269555933RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
(D) Total Lung Capacity :-
It is the amount of air present in the lungs after a maximum (deep) Inspiration it include
all volumes
TLC = TVHRV+ERV+RV=500+3300+ 1000+ 1200 - 6000m1
» VENTILATION ;-
Ventilation is the rate at which air enters or leave the lungs, Ventilation in respiratory
physiology is of two types
(A) Pulmonary Ventilation :- (Respiratory Minute Volume ) It is a Cyclic process by which fresh
air enters the lungs and equal volume of air is expired in a given unit of time (per minute)
During Quiet breathing
Pulmonary Ventilation :- Tidal Volume x Respiratory rate
PV= 500 x 12 = 6000 mi/minutes
(B) Alveolar Ventilation :-
Amount of air utilized for gases exchange in every minute.
There are certain part where gases exchange does not take place. These part are collectively
called dead space. The air present in dead space is called dead space air. Normally it is about150
ml. it does not take part in gases exchange,
. Alveolar Ventilation: - (Tidal Volume — Dead Space air Volume)x Respiration rate
AV = (500 = 150) x 12 = 4200 mi/ Minute
© Dead Space:- Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles up to the terminal bronchioles
» TRANSPORT OF RESPIRATORY GASES 0. AND CO,
(i) Transport of O2:-
1, As Simple Physical Solution :- (3% Only )
© Oxygen Dissolves in water of plasma and is transport in this physical form.
2. Tn Combination with Hemoglobin (Oxvhemoglobin ) (97%)
‘* 97% O2 Combines with hemoglobin only as a physical combination. It is only
oxygenation, not oxidation
1 Molecule of Hb Carry 4 molecule of O2
1 gm of Hb Carries 1.34ml of O3 .
15 gm% of Hb carries only 19ml % of O;, This is known as oxygen carrying
capacity of blood.
Gi) Transport of COs :-
a) As Dissolve Form (7%)
b) As Bicarbonate (63%)
©) As Carb Amino Compounds (30%)
CO) + Hb = CarbHemoglobin
CO2 + Protein = Carb Amino Protein

>» MECHANICS OF RESPIRATION
Respiration occur in two phases namely inspiration and expiration
During inspiration thoracic cage enlarges and lungs expand so that air enters the lungs easily
During expiration the thoracic cage and lungs decrease in size and attain the pre inspiratory
position so that air leaves the lungs easily
© During normal quiet breathing inspiration is the active process and expiration is the passive
process
> MI OF RESPIRATO THE PAST CANNOT BE
CHANGED.
Respiratory muscles are of two types-
(1) Inspiratory muscles
(a) Primary inspiratory muscles (Chief inspiratory muscle)
© Diaphragm, which is supplied by phrenic nerve
‘© External intercostals muscles supplied by intercostal nerves
(b) Accessory Inspiratory Muscles
