RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
1. Regulation of blood pH- change of
carbon dioxide level.
2. Gas exchange- oxygen from air enter
the blood and carbon dioxide from the
blood enter air. Cardiovascular system
transport oxygen from the lungs to the
body cells and carbon dioxide from the
body cells to lungs.
3. Voice production- air movement pas
the vocal cords makes sound and
speech possible.
4. Olfaction- the sensation of smell
occurs when airborne molecules are
drawn into the nasal cavity.
5. Innate immunity- protects against
some microorganisms by preventing
them from entering the body.
LUNGS
2 phases of ventilation:
Inspiration or inhalation,
movement air into the lungs.
Expiration or exhalation,
movement of air out of the
lungs.
Gas exchange
Surface area
Partial pressure
Oxygen transport
About 7% is transported as
carbon dioxide dissolved in
the plasma.
23% is transported in
combination with blood
proteins, primarily
hemoglobin.
SUMMARY
pulmonary ventilation(breathing)
consists of inhalation and exhalation, the
movement of air into and out of lugs. Air
flow from higher pressure to lower
pressure.
