Respiratory System:A Breath of Fresh Air
![Page 2: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is Cystic Fibrosis?• Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of
lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines• This recessive disease causes mucus buildup
in respiratory airways• Leads to lung and sinus disease since
bacteria that normally inhabit the thick mucus grow out of control and cause pneumonia.
• Leads to multisystem failure- although patients usually die in the 20s and 30s due to lung failure
• Lung transplantation is often necessary as it gets worse
• In addition, people with CF often develop clubbing of their fingers and toes due to the effects of chronic illness and low oxygen in their tissues.

Fluids• A fluid is a substance that has no defined
form and can flow in all directions. ALL LIQUIDS AND GASES ARE FLUIDS!
• If fluids are compressible, their volume DECREASES when a force is applied to it.
ex: gases, like air, are compressible•If a fluid is incompressible, the volume cannot be decreased by adding force to itex: liquids, like water, are incompressible

Air compositionAir is a fluid and it is a mixture of:
• 78% Nitrogen
• 21% Oxygen
• 1% trace gases, such as Argon, Neon, Carbon dioxide, Helium, Methane, Hydrogen and water vapor
![Page 6: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why do we need Oxygen?• If the brain goes without oxygen for four
minutes, it can be permanently damaged.
• Oxygen is used for cellular respiration, turning glucose into energy for the cells (oxidation reaction!!)
Glucose + O2 CO2 + H2O + ENERGY
•When you exhale, you release carbon dioxide and water vapor

Purpose of Respiratory System1) Provide the body with Oxygen
2) Provide a transfer site for Oxygen into the blood stream to be circulated throughout the body.
3) Eliminate Carbon dioxide from the body.

Respiratory AirwaysWhat do they do?
1. Take in air2. Warm up and
moisten air3. Remove foreign
particles from the air

Anatomy of the Respiratory System
The 6 main parts:
1. Nasal Cavity
2. Pharynx
3. Larynx
4. Trachea
5. Bronchial tubes (Bronchi & Bronchioles)
6. Lungs (Alveoli)
![Page 10: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nasal CavityFunction:
• Filters, warms, and moistens air as it enters
• It also contains FOUR SINUSES
![Page 11: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Respiratory Defense…… against Foreign Particles:
1. Nostril hair
2. Mucus in the respiratory tract
3. Cilia in the trachea and bronchial tubes
![Page 12: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PharynxFunction:
• Handles air between nasal cavity and trachea
• Also contains the Tonsils
![Page 13: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Larynx• Made of cartilage• Also called the Adam’s Apple or voice box
because it holds the vocal chords• The Epiglottis is found at the top of the larynx
![Page 14: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Trachea• Function:
• Has cilia which filters particles in the air.
![Page 15: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bronchial Tubes
• Made up of cartiliginous rings, like the trachea
• Function: Filter particles in the air.
![Page 16: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LungsFunction:
1. Remove Oxygen (O2) from the air and put it into the bloodstream
2. Remove Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the bloodstream and release it into the atmosphere.
![Page 17: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lungs
Function:• Alveoli are thin, permeable sacs which are the functional
units of the lungs- this is where gas exchange takes place.• They are made up of a SINLGE LAYER OF CELLS!• There are 300 million in each lung!
![Page 18: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Alveolar Network looks like an upside down tree!

Gas ExchangeFor this to happen, we need 2 things:• Diffusion: movement from an area of higher
concentration of that substance to an area of lower concentration.
• Selectively permeable membrane: a membrane that only allows certain substances to pass through.

Breathing
![Page 23: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pressure and breathing• When air pressure is low, it becomes more difficult
to breathe• Pressure is the measurement of force exerted on
a surface (P in pascals)= Force (in Newtons) Area of surface (in meters2)
1 N/m2 = 1 Pa101.3 kPa = 760 mm of Hg = 1 atm
•Since air is made up of matter, it has mass and can exert force•The fewer air particles, the less force is exerted, the smaller the air pressure•This makes it hard to breathe
![Page 24: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Relationship between Pressure and applied Force : As the force increases, pressure increases
• Relationship between Pressure and Area: As area increases, pressure decreases
Bed of Nails!!

Back to Fluids…• Compressible fluids, like air, can decrease in
volume when pressure increases. This is because force increases.
• Fluids like to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
• Think of what happens when you breathe: inhaling causes a decrease in pressure, allowing air to enter lungs
• Exhaling causes an increase in pressure, pushing air out
You are squeezing the particles of air closer together every time you
exhale

Mechanism for inspiration (inhaling) and Expiration (exhaling)Inspiration Expiration
Intercostal muscles contract, ribs move out and up
Intercostal muscles relax, ribs move in and down
Diaphragm contracts, moves down
Diaphragm relaxes, moves up
Volume of chest cavity (thorax) and lungs increases
Volume of chest cavity (thorax) and lungs decreases
Intrapulmonic pressure decreases causing air to enter lungs
Intrapulmonic pressure increases, causing air to exit lungs

TobaccoEffects:
• Deterioration of the respiratory system resulting in diseases such as bronchitis and emphysema.
• Cardiovascular diseases characterized by damage to the heart and blood vessels.
![Page 28: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
TobaccoChanges in blood composition:
• Level of carbon monoxide, a toxic gas, increases- it binds readily with red blood cells, thus a loss of binding sites for O2 so transportation of O2 to the cells is greatly reduced.
And…
![Page 29: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Lung Cancer• Estimates suggest that
tobacco causes at least 40% of all types of cancer and at least 90% of all cases of lung cancer
• Bottom line: Tobacco reduces life expectancy

Smoking and pregnancyEssentially, what the woman
breathes, so does the baby.
• So it can cause:
• stillbirths,
• premature babies,
• spontaneous abortions
• low weight babies
• And neurological damage

Air pollutants• Carbon monoxide.• Insecticides• Gasoline fumes• Sulphur dioxide =
acid rain• Dust particles,
soot and sand, can clog the alveoli as well.
![Page 32: Respiratory System: A Breath of Fresh Air. What is Cystic Fibrosis? Hereditary disease affecting mucus glands of lungs, liver, pancreas & intestines This.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649d835503460f94a6a248/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Improving Air Quality1. Reduce the emissions of
pollutants through legislation and the imposition of harsh fines.
• Ban smoking in public spaces and tougher regulations for industry
2. Expand the number of green spaces in cities and protect those already in place.
