Respiratory System

Respiratory System• Consists of the respiratory and conducting parts• Respiratory part
– Site of gas exchange – Consists of bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
• Conducting part – Provides rigid conduits for air to reach the sites of gas
exchange– Includes all other respiratory structures (e.g., nose,
nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea)
• Respiratory muscles: diaphragm and other muscles that promote ventilation

Major Functions of the Respiratory System
• To supply tissues with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
• Respiration: four distinct processes must happen
– Pulmonary ventilation: moving air into and out of the lungs
– External respiration: gas exchange between the lungs and the blood
– Internal respiration: gas exchange between blood and tissues
– Transport: transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and tissues

General Anatomy
• Upper respiratory tract:
• The nose, Mouth, pharynx, and Larynx.
• Lower respiratory tract:
• The trachea, Bronchi, Alveoli, and Lungs.
– The thoracic cavity consists of:
• Right and left pleural cavities (the parietal pleura lines the
thoracic cavity, and the visceral pleura adheres directly to the
lung tissue.
• Mediastinum.

Respiratory Zone
• Begins as terminal bronchioles, feed into respiratory
bronchioles.
• Respiratory bronchioles lead to alveolar ducts, then to
terminal clusters of alveolar sacs composed of alveoli
• Approximately 300 million alveoli:
– Account for most of the lungs’ volume
– Provide great surface area for gas exchange

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs
• Lungs occupy all of the thoracic cavity except the
mediastinum
– Root or Hilum: site of vascular and bronchial
attachments
– Costal surface: anterior, lateral, and posterior
surfaces in contact with the ribs
– Apex: narrow superior tip
– Base: inferior surface that rests on the diaphragm

Hilum of the lungs
![Page 11: Respiratory System. Consists of the respiratory and conducting parts Respiratory part – Site of gas exchange – Consists of bronchioles, alveolar ducts,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d305503460f94a0846a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Blood Supply to Lungs• Lungs are perfused by pulmonary and bronchial arteries.
1- Pulmonary arteries: – Supply systemic venous blood to be oxygenated– Ultimately feed into the pulmonary capillary network
surrounding the alveoli– Pulmonary veins: carry oxygenated blood back to the
heart
2- Bronchial arteries:
– Provide systemic blood to the lung tissue
– Arise from aorta and enter the lungs at the hilus
– Supply all lung tissue except the alveoli

Pleurae
• Thin, double-layered serosa
• Parietal pleura
– Covers the thoracic wall and superior face of the diaphragm
– Continues around heart and between lungs
• Visceral pleura
– Covers the external lung surface
– Divides the thoracic cavity into three chambers
• The central mediastinum
• Two lateral compartments, each containing a lung

Mediastinum• Divided into: anterior, middle, and posterior
portions.
– Anterior mediastinum contains: the thyroid and thymus glands.
– Middle mediastinum contains: heart and great vessels, esophagus, and trachea.
– Posterior mediastinum contains: descending aorta and spine.

Radiographic signs
• Silhouette sign: opacity near the heart so you can not detect the heart boarder easily.
• Notes from the radiographs: opacity frontal and heart frontal so lesion is frontal.

Patch • An ill defined lesion with air
bronchogram.
• Air bronchogram: air filled bronchi passing through opaque lung.
• Pulmonary lesion.
• Alveolar pathology.
• Consolodation.
• Patch may be due to:
• Pneumonia or infarction.

Pneumonia
• is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily alveoli.
• It is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria.
• Typical symptoms include a cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing
![Page 33: Respiratory System. Consists of the respiratory and conducting parts Respiratory part – Site of gas exchange – Consists of bronchioles, alveolar ducts,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d305503460f94a0846a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Pneumonia is accompanied by Consolidation
![Page 34: Respiratory System. Consists of the respiratory and conducting parts Respiratory part – Site of gas exchange – Consists of bronchioles, alveolar ducts,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d305503460f94a0846a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Diffuse lung disease
• We have 4 radiographic pattern:
1. Reticular pattern
e.g. Pneumonia, Bronchitis: Confluent small ill-defined densities produce a reticular pattern.
![Page 35: Respiratory System. Consists of the respiratory and conducting parts Respiratory part – Site of gas exchange – Consists of bronchioles, alveolar ducts,](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d305503460f94a0846a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2. Ground glass pattern: increase in density in areas of ground glass and air trapping in lower lobes in patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (inflammation of lung tissue).
Pneumonia is pneumonitis combined with consolidation (is a region of (normally compressible) lung tissue that has filled with liquid) due to infection.
