39 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
PowerPoint Image Slideshow
• All cells require oxygen for use in the efficient production of energy
through cellular respiration
• One of the major physiological challenges facing all multicellular
animals is obtaining sufficient oxygen and disposing of excess
carbon dioxide

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GASES

RESPIRATORY MEDIA

GAS EXCHANGE BETWEEN ALVEOLI AND
BLOOD
• In vertebrates, the gases diffuse into the aqueous layer
covering the epithelial cells that line the respiratory
organs
• Diffusion is passive, driven only by the difference in O2
and CO2 concentrations on the two sides of the
membranes and their relative solubility's in the plasma
membrane
• High O2 in Alveoli into Blood
• High CO2 in Blood into Alveoli
• Opposite Occurs in the Tissue
TYPES OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS
Body surface
Gills
Tracheae
Lungs

EXTERNAL GILLS
Limitations
• Unprotected and subject to damage
• Energy is required to wave gills back and forth
• Appearance and motion may attract predators

LUNGS
LUNGS
• Lungs of mammals are packed
with millions of alveoli (sites of
gas exchange)
• Inhaled air passes through the
larynx, glottis, and trachea
• Bifurcates into the right and
left bronchi, which enter each
lung and further subdivide into
bronchioles
• Alveoli are surrounded by an
extensive capillary network

NORMAL BLOOD pH
(about 7.4)
Blood CO2 level falls
and pH rises.
Blood pH falls
due to rising levels of

HEMOGLOBIN
Hemoglobin – iron
• 4 protein subunits
• Each has a heme unit – contains iron
• Single hemoglobin molecule binds up to 4 oxygen molecules
30
HEMOGLOBIN
Some CO2 from respiring cells diffuses into the blood and is
transported in blood plasma, bound to hemoglobin
The remainder diffuses into erythrocytes and reacts with water to
form H2CO3, which dissociates into H+ and bicarbonate ions
(HCO3−)
In the lungs the relative partial pressures of CO2 favor the net
diffusion of CO2 out of the blood
LUNG FUNCTION
Hypoventilation
Insufficient breathing
Blood has abnormally high PCO2 Brain isn’t signaled to initiate
breath, person feels like they can’t
breathe, start trying to take many
Hyperventilation shallow breaths (like they can’t
Excessive breathing catch their breath), breathing
paper bag adds CO2 to system
Blood has abnormally low PCO2
triggering brain to initiate deep
breath

RESPIRATORY DISEASES
• Lung cancer accounts for
more deaths than any other
form of cancer
• Caused mainly by cigarette
smoking
• Follows or accompanies
COPD
• Lung cancer metastasizes
(spreads) so rapidly that it has
usually invaded other organs
by the time it is diagnosed
• Chance of recovery from
metastasized lung cancer is
poor, with only 3% of patients
surviving for 5 years after
diagnosis
