 INTRODUCTION PULMONARY
RESPIRATION VENTILATION
 Pulmonary Respiration
 Ventilation
 Exchange of O2 and Co2 in the lungs
• Cellular respiration
• O2 utilization and CO2 production by the
tissues
• Purposes of the respiratory system during
exercise
• Gas exchange between the environment and
the body
• Regulation of acid-base balance during
exercise
FUNCTION OF THE LUNG
Means of gas exchange between the
external environment and the body
Replacing O2
Removing CO2
Regulation of acid-base balance
Ventilation
 Mechanical process of moving air into
and out of lungs
Diffusion
Random movement of molecules from
an area of high concentration to an
area of lower concentration
STRUCTURE OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Organs
Nose and nasal cavities
Pharynx and larynx
Trachea and bronchial tree
Lungs
Site of gas exchange
Diaphragm
Major muscle of inspiration
