Introduction

Cells obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

The respiratory system facilitates the exchange of gases between the air and the blood.

Blood carries oxygen to peripheral tissues. Blood accepts the carbon dioxide from

peripheral tissues.

An Overview of the Respiratory System

The Respiratory System Includes the nose, nasal cavity and sinuses,

pharynx, larynx, trachea, and conducting passageways

The respiratory tract consists of the following: Conduction portion Respiratory portion

The respiratory bronchiles The alveoli



Functions of the Respiratory System Providing an area for gas exchange Moving air to and from the exchange surface Protecting respiratory surfaces Defending the respiratory system and other tissues

from invasion by pathogenic microorganisms Producing sounds involved in speaking, singing, or

nonverbal communication Assisting in the regulation of blood volume, blood

pressure, and the control of body fluid pH

The Upper Respiratory System

Structures in the head are part of the upper respiratory system.

The Lower Respiratory System

Structures in the neck and thoracic cavity are parts of the lower respiratory system

The Trachea

Also called the windpipe Walls contain cartilage rings Enters thoracic cavity anterior to esophagus Bifurcates at the carina


The Primary Bronchi

Wall structure similar to tracheal wall One per lungThe right primary bronchus supplies the right

lung, and the left supplies the left lungRight has a larger diameter and descends

toward lung at steeper angle; easier for foreign objects to get lodged there


The Primary Bronchi

Figure 24.7 Anatomy of the Trachea and Primary Bronchi


The Lungs

Lungs are divided into lobes: 3 lobes on right: superior, middle, and inferior 2 lobes on left: superior and inferior

Bronchi branch out into smaller bronchioles. Bronchioles lead to alveoli.

The Pleural Cavities and Pleural Membranes

Parietal pleura lines the pleural cavity. Visceral pleura covers the lungs. Pleural fluid causes membranes to stick

together but still slide on one another.

Respiratory Muscles and Pulmonary Ventilation

Inspiratory muscles Diaphragm External intercostal muscles

Expiratory muscles Usually not needed due to elastic recoil of lungs and

thoracic cavity Accessory respiratory muscles

Inspiration Sternocleidomastoid, serratus anterior, pectoralis minor,

and scalene muscles Expiration

Transversus thoracis, oblique, and rectus abdominis muscles

Internal intercostal musclesCopyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Aging and the Respiratory System

Elastic tissue deteriorates, reducing the lungs’ ability to inflate and deflate.

Movements of the rib cage are restricted by arthritic changes.

Some degree of emphysema is normally found in individuals age 50–70.
