Respiratory system - crash course

 Respiratory system relates to air channel and gaseous exchange in human body. It supplies oxygen into blood and expels carbondioxide outside the human body.

Video notes:

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM


Nasal cavity lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Paranasal sinuses are- Frontal sinus, Ethmoid sinus, maxillary sinus, stephenoid sinus

Common site of epistaxis is little’s/ Kiesselbach’s area.

Pharynx is common organ for respiration and digestion.

Eustachian tube connects middle ear and nasopharynx.


Cartilage

Laryx has 9 cartilage (6 types, 3 paired, and 3 umpaired)


• Unpaired cartilage (@ETC) Epiglottis, Thyroid, Cricoid

• Paired cartilage Arytenoid, Cuneiform, Corniculate

• Elastic cartilage Epiglottis, Corniculate, Cuneiform

• Hyanline cartilage (@CAT) Cricoid, Arytenoid, Thyroid


Trachea has C shaped hyaline carilages. Trachea bifurcated at T4 and right bronchi wider, vertical and shorter (@ Right wives)


Alveoli lined by simple squamous epithelium


Type-I alveolar cell à Secrete ACE

Type-II alveolar cell à secrete surfactant


Space between two lungs is media stinum


Lungs


• Human (5) ---------------> Right 3, Left 2

• Rabbit (6) ---------------> Right 4, Left 2

• Frog (1)


Diaphragm supplied by phrenic artery, characteristic feature of mammal and

Flattens during inspiration

Dome shape during expiration


One molecule of Hb can carry four molecules of oxygen

One gram of Hb can bind 1.34 ml of oxygen


• Anoxia ---------------> Absense of o2

• Hypoxia ---------------> Decreased o2 level in blood

• Asphyxia ---------------> Suffocatio as a result of airway obstruction


Oxygen Hb dissociation curve

1. Show relationship between percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen and partial pressure of oxygen

2. It is sigmoid shaped curve


Right shift


1. Decreased affinity of Hb for o2, more release of o2 to tissue

2. Increase H+ ion

3. Decrease pH

4. Increase pCO2 of blood

5. Increase temperature

6. Increase 2,3 DPG (Secerated by RBC in high altitude)


Bohr’s effect


---------------> High Co2 concentration causes decreased affinity of Hb for o2


Haldane effect


---------------> High oxygen concentration enhances the unloading of co2


Chloride shift (Hamburger shift)


---------------> Exchange of HCO3- and Cl- across the membrane of RBC


• Tidal Volume ---------------> 500ml

• Inspiratory reserve volume ---------------> 3100 ml

• Expiratory reserved volume ---------------> 1200ml

• Residual volume ---------------> 1200 ml

• Vital capacity ---------------> IRB+ ERV+ TV = 4800ml

• Dead space ---------------> 150 ml

• Total lung capacity ---------------> VC+RV = 6000ml


Tachypnoea ---------------> Increase in respiratory rate

Dyspnoea ---------------> Difficulty in breathing

Orthopnoea ---------------> Difficulty in breathing while laying down

Haemoptysis ---------------> Coughing out of blood

Haemotemasis ---------------> Vomiting out of blood

Hematochaezia ---------------> Passage of fresh blood in stool

Malena ---------------> Passage of (Not fresh) altered blood in stool
