/Taking Care of the
Respiratory System
Why do we
breathe?
What is Human Respiration?
 obtain oxygen,
 eliminate carbon dioxide.

Inspiration
2 Phases
of
Breathing
Expiration
The Mechanisms of
Breathing
O2 enters
The diaphragm
contracts or C02 exits
flattens
The diaphragm
The intercostal relaxes
muscles raise
The intercostal
the ribs
muscles lower
the ribs
Respiratory Cycle

controls the rhythm
and rate of
breathing?
Pons
CO2 Level in the blood
pH of the blood
Fear and Pain

alveoli
Human Respiratory System

STRUCTURE FUNCTION
nose /
warms, moistens, & filters air
nasal
as it is inhaled
cavity
pharynx passageway for air, leads to
(throat) trachea
the voice box, where vocal
larynx
chords are located
REVIEW…
STRUCTURE FUNCTION
keeps the windpipe "open" and is lined

Trachea
with fine hairs called cilia which filter
(windpipe)
air before it reaches the lungs
two branches at the end of the trachea,
bronchi
each lead to a lung
a network of smaller branches leading
bronchioles from the bronchi into the lung tissue &
ultimately to air sacs
the functional respiratory units in the
alveoli
lung where gases are exchanged
What are the
components of upper
and lower respiratory
tract?
Checking your Understanding
Which of the following sites would be the most

lethal if obstructed by a foreign body?
ANSWER:
a. Right bronchus
b. Left bronchus
c. Trachea
Pulmonary Ventilation
External Respiration
Respiration Includes
Transport of Respiratory
Gases
Internal Respiration
Air moves in and out

of lungs.
 Gas exchange between blood and air at alveoli.

 O2 (oxygen) in air diffuses into blood.
 CO2 (carbon dioxide) in blood diffuses into air.
Transport of
Respiratory Gases
 Brings O2 from lungs  cells of the body.
 Takes CO2 from the cells throughout the body and
return to the lungs to be exhaled.
 Gas exchange in capillaries between blood and tissue

cells.
 O2 in blood diffuses into tissues.
 CO2 waste in tissues diffuses into blood.
Respiration Includes
Transport of Respiratory
Gases
What is a Respiratory Volume?
 Different
volumes of air move in and out of
lungs with different intensities of breathing.
Respiratory Volumes
Amount of air that moves in or
Tidal Volume out of the lungs during a normal
breath
Inspiratory Amount of air that can be

Reserve forcefully inhaled following a
Volume normal inhalation
Expiratory Amount of air that can be

Reserve forcefully exhaled following a
Volume normal exhalation
Respiratory Volumes (cont.)
Residual Volume of air that always
Volume remains in the lungs even after a
forceful exhalation
Vital Amount of air that can be

Capacity forcefully exhaled after the
deepest inhalation possible
Total Lung
Capacity The total amount of air the lungs
can hold
Checking your Understanding
Match the following:
ANSWER:
C Amount of air that moves
___
during a normal breath. A. Total lung
B Amount of air that always
___ capacity
remains in the lungs. B. Residual
A Total amount of air the lungs
___ volume
can hold . C. Tidal volume
D Amount of air forcefully
___ D. Vital capacity
exhaled after deepest
inhalation possible.

is the only air
worth breathing.
